(CBS DETROIT) - A woman has been arrested after abandoning 29 cats at the Leelanau County veterinary office.

Kathy Jasinski, 51, of Grawn, is facing a charge of abandonment and cruelty of 25 or more animals.

She was arraigned on Nov. 15, and her preliminary examination is scheduled for next month.
