Animal Cruelty Case: Woman, 48, Turns Herself in on Felony Charges

By Michael Dinan | November 30, 2020

The 48-year-old woman that police say is responsible for the deaths of at least three puppies due to neglect on Sunday turned herself in on three counts of cruelty to animals. Catherine Daria Palmer, whose last known address is 151 Butler Lane, was released on $10,000 bond. Her arrest follows a months-long investigation by the New Canaan Police Department. According to an arrest warrant application by Officer Allyson Halm of the NCPD Animal Control section, Palmer operated an illegal pet store while keeping puppies and dogs in an unsanitary environment, lying to veterinarians about their health and denying the animals access to medical care. 

Police this month seized 10 puppies and two adult dogs from her Butler Lane home. “The puppies and adult dogs seized during this investigation are being well cared for and are thriving,” New Canaan Police Chief Leon Krolikowski said in a press release.
