The SPCA got a search warrant after a seven-month undercover investigation in which former Butler County humane officer Deborah Urmann, who worked for Bruno once a week as a volunteer, videotaped the operations using a button camera purchased over the Internet, officials said. “She claims she's a no-kill shelter, but really she's a slow-kill shelter,” Urmann said. About 100 cats were living in a building that looked like a construction trailer. It was strewn with blood and feces and had two doors that enabled the cats to go out into a fenced area. Dozens of cats lived with Bruno in her ranch-style home, too, PSPCA Director Howard Nelson said. “You couldn't even breathe because of the ammonia,” Nelson said, referring to the stench of cat urine.—AP
