A woman who left two cats alone at her Plean home for over a week – among faeces and piles of rubbish – has been banned from keeping animals for three years.
Iona Baff, who admitted an offence under the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006, was also placed on supervision for a year.
The charge stated that the 45-year-old had failed to take reasonable steps to ensure that the needs of the animals were met and they had not been protected from suffering or injury.
