Subject: Animal Cruelty Case - Champaign, Illinois

"I am writing to inform readers of a very devastating animal cruelty case of a persian breeder in Champaign, IL. Lois Masso, Malaron Persians charges are pending at this time.

Over 60 persian cats were removed from her home due to extreme cases of neglect.in some cases, cats were found clinging to life, and one actually found dead in its cage. Cages were filled with fecal matter, little or no food or water.

Cats were being fed raw hamburger meat or extremely poor quality food that left their teeth in extremely poor condition. All these cats suffered from very severe upper respiratory conditions and infections, chronic gingivitis, dry crusted fecal matter and urine were covered on many of the cats as well as massive amounts of matting on the fur, leaving no choice but to shave the cat. Cats suffered from various skin conditions leaving some almost completely hairless. Their eyes were left with eye secretions that had dried and crusted them almost completely closed, as well as corneal ulcers, oral ulcers, eye lesions, mouth lesions and conjunctivitis. Some were coughing blood and also suffered urinary tract infections.

The vast majority of her Persians were found doubled up in cages in her basement with no ventilation These abominable conditions are too indescribable for words it leaves one speechless and heartbroken to know how these beautiful animals were treated in such a cruel and inhumane way. Lois Masso is a disgrace to the Persian breeding community and cat lovers in general. Malaron Persians should be barred from participating in all show activities as well as prohibited from registering any feline, transferring ownership, placement of any advertising and should also be fined the largest fine possible for the cruel and inhumane treatment of felines. Unfortunately she was previously the president of the Illini Cat Club which sponsors CFA Shows. Malaron Persians claims to be a licensed cattery - she is no longer.
