ELIZABETH BLORE'S HORRIFIC CAT HOARDING IN KINGSBURY LEADS TO BREACH OF ASBO

Elizabeth Blore, a woman known for her history of compulsive hoarding, has once again found herself at the center of legal trouble due to her blatant disregard for a court-imposed order. Residing on Valley Drive in Kingsbury, London NW9, Blore was found to be in breach of an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) that explicitly forbade her from feeding or keeping cats.

Her violation was confirmed during an inspection carried out by police officers and animal welfare officials on May 4, 2017. The authorities entered her residence and discovered disturbing evidence of her continued association with cats despite the restrictions. The living room was contaminated with cat excrement, and upstairs, an adult feline was found along with a litter of one-month-old kittens. Blore attempted to justify her actions, claiming that the cats and kittens were strays and too young to be separated from their mother, asserting that they were four weeks old and not yet weaned. She also stated that the cats had since been taken away, claiming she no longer kept any cats.

Blore’s history with animal hoarding and neglect is extensive. In 2012, she and her brother Christopher Blore were evicted from their residence after neighbors reported a foul smell emanating from their property. The smell was linked to the accumulation of piles of cat feces both inside the house and in the garden. During the eviction process, authorities conducted a thorough clean-up, which lasted three months, during which they removed large quantities of rubbish and debris. During this process, the skeletal remains of at least 15 deceased cats were discovered rotting beneath bin bags, highlighting the severity of the hoarding situation.

Prosecutor Martha Godwin emphasized the seriousness of Blore’s breach, stating, “Ms Blore is subject to an anti-social behaviour order which prohibits her from feeding or keeping cats.” The police and animal welfare officers’ visit was part of ongoing efforts to enforce the court’s order and prevent further animal suffering.

In court, Blore admitted to breaching the ASBO. Her legal penalties included fines and costs totaling £255. The case underscores the ongoing challenges authorities face in addressing animal hoarding and ensuring compliance with court orders designed to protect both animals and the community.
