Hamilton Sheriff Court heard she failed to provide adequate care for the cat and didn’t seek appropriate advice and treatment from a vet.

The animal had a leg injury and examination also revealed it was suffering from overgrown nails and dental disease.

As well as imposing a disqualification order, Sheriff Douglas Brown ordered Tollan to carry out 70 hours of unpaid work under a community payback order as an alternative to a fine.
