Surfaces and housing facilities for the domestic cats are not being cleaned or sanitized often enough. One outdoor enclosure shelter box still contains old hay that, according to the licensee, was added over the past winter. This hay appears dirty and soiled. That outdoor enclosure also has areas of painted wood supports with dirt covering their surfaces. The room housing the indoor enclosures with queens and their kittens has spilled litter and food on the floor. Hard surfaces in contact with the cats must be spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with 3.11(b)(2). Additionally, other facility surfaces must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. Infrequent cleaning and sanitation of housing facilities exposes the animals to unnecessary disease hazards, odors, insects and pests. Correct by removing old, dirty hay from the shelter box, cleaning hard surfaces and housing facilities, and implementing a cleaning and sanitization schedule in accordance with 3.11(b)(2).
