Jeffrey Finlay is expected to be sentenced to six months in jail per the terms of his plea agreement, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said.
On Thursday, May 4, 2023, Finlay called police to his home on Mantoloking Road, asking them to help remove an excessive number of animals from his residence, Billhimer said. Officers discovered approximately 157 cats and 3 dogs living at the residence, Billhimer said.
Over a day, the animals were removed from the residence and transferred for treatment and evaluation, Billhimer said. A report issued from the Ocean County Health Department determined that 68 cats had suffered serious bodily injury or had to be euthanized - all as a result of Finlay’s failure to provide necessary care for the animals, Billhimer said.
