CONWAY, N.H. (AP) – Police found dead cats and a dog and other animals in poor health in an apartment and arrested a woman in Concord on five counts of cruelty to animals.

Kara Steinhilber, 22, who had lived in the Conway apartment, was released late last week on $5,000 bail and was not allowed to possess or care for any animals. She is scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 19.

Conway Police were asked to do a check on the animals. Other residents at the complex told her that animals in the apartment hadn’t been cared for in some time. As she entered the apartment, an animal control officer found a dog who hadn’t had food or water for some time. She also found two dogs in a crate, one of them dead and the other barely alive.

Dead cats later were found in a carrier in the apartment.

Each charge is a misdemeanor punishable up to one year in prison and a $2,000 fine.
