Coldwater Township, Mich. —

Stench of cat urine and feces rolled out of the widows of a single-wide in the Cambridge Trailer Park Wednesday afternoon.

Forty-two cats and kittens were housed inside, where a thermometer — used by Branch County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) deputies — read 110 degrees. Most food and water dishes were empty or contaminated with waste.

Andrea Dann, who lives across the road from the trailer, admitted she was helping boyfriend Richard Crocker, 61, breed, raise and sell the cats for $350 or more each. Her name is on the business because Crocker, who is on probation, is not allowed to have cats after his arrest twice before on animal cruelty charges.

Dann and Crocker’s ex-wife were listed on the Web site of KaveKats selling the Maine Coon breed. Dann told officers Crocker was selling between one and three a week.

Here is the website where they are selling these poor abused cats http://kavekats.com/
