A woman is facing charges after nearly a dozen cats and kittens were found in her hot car. The animals were discovered in a grassy area, covered in urine and feces, and were severely malnourished. They were found to be near death. The car's windows were cracked, but this was not enough to prevent the animals from suffering in the intense heat.

The woman, 64-year-old Sharon Basham, is expected in court on October 23. Further details about the case are available from the source.

The incident highlights the dangers of leaving animals in hot vehicles, even with cracked windows.
