SALINAS, California- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on July 15

that on July 13, 2022, 70-year-old Debra Kallmeyer of San Ardo pled guilty to Penal Code 597.1(a), a misdemeanor, failure to care for her animals.

On September 23, 2021, the SPCA of Monterey County contacted Kallmeyer to see if they

could assist with her cats after receiving a call from a concerned citizen. Kallmeyer denied needing

any help and would not allow SPCA to check on the welfare of her animals. On September 28,

was hospitalized. The SPCA found approximately 31 cats, 2 dogs and three dead kittens on the

property. The dead kittens had died from starvation and respiratory infections. The cats were found

in unsanitary conditions with feces, urine, and mold throughout their living area.

The live animals were taken by the SPCA and given medical treatment for wounds and upper

respiratory disease.

Judge Robert Burlison sentenced Kellmeyer to 1 year of probation on the following terms and

conditions: 30 days in jail, that she not possess any animals for 1 year, that she allow her premises to be inspected by the SPCA to ensure that no animals are in her possession, undergo a mental health assessment by the Monterey County Behavior Health Department, and pay restitution to the SPCA.
