A northeastern Pennsylvania woman who tried to sell “gothic kittens” online wants to reopen her pet grooming business.
Animal welfare workers seized three kittens and a cat from Holly Crawford’s Luzerne County home in 2008 after she posted online ads offering kittens with pierced ears and docked tails.
Crawford was sentenced to six months of house arrest earlier this year on animal cruelty charges. On Wednesday she asked a county judge to relax her probation conditions so she can reopen her grooming shop, Pawside Parlor.
Prosecutors did not oppose Crawford's request, saying she has met the requirements of her probation thus far.
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley did not immediately rule on the request.
