2.134(a) (Non-Critical) – Contingency planning.
A contingency plan has not yet been developed at this facility. Dealers, exhibitors, intermediate handlers, and carriers must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide for the humane handling, treatment, transportation, housing, and care of their animals in the event of an emergency or disaster (one which could reasonably be anticipated and expected to be detrimental to the good health and well-being of the animals in their possession). A plan must be developed documented and followed and employees trained on the plan. CORRECT BY: June 26,2023. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with a facility representative. n

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
The facility does not currently have an inventory of animals on hand nor acquisition records for animals acquired. Improper record keeping does not allow for a complete inspection of the facility and does not facilitate proper tracking of animals. Complete acquisition records containing all information required by the Animal Welfare Act Regulations are necessary to be able to accurately track animals being used in regulated activities to ensure their legal acquisition, proper care, age of the animals, and humane transportation. This requirement applies to all regulated animals purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, leased or otherwise in possession of or under control of the licensee, including any offspring born of any animal while that animal is in his or her possession or under his or her control, and all regulated animals transported, sold, euthanized, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer. Correct by April 17, 2024. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with a facility representative. n

2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
There are expired bottles of doxycycline and ponazuril stored in the refrigerator. Additionally, a bottle of ceftriaxone injectable antibiotic with Russian manufacturing labeling was found. The Attending Veterinarian confirmed that this product is not approved for use. Expired medications present several significant risks, including reduced potency that may prevent the drug from achieving its intended therapeutic effect, increasing the likelihood of treatment failure and prolonged or worsening clinical conditions. The licensee must ensure all medications used for animals covered under the Animal Welfare Act are not expired and approved by the Attending Veterinarian. Each dealer or exhibitor shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include the use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries, and the availability of emergency, weekend, and holiday care. Correct this day, July 2, 2026, forward.

2.101(a)(4) (Non-Critical) – Holding period.
The facility failed to hold multiple cats for the 5 day period required in regulation § 2.101(a)(4). USDA inspectors reviewed acquisition and disposition records for the month of May 2026 and found that 23 cats had been transferred to buyers before the 5 day holding period. Adequate holding periods are necessary to allow for observation of animals for signs of stress, disease or other conditions that may be worsened by transport. Any live dog or cat acquired by a dealer or exhibitor shall be held by him or her, under his or her supervision and control, for a period of not less than 5 full days, not including the day of acquisition, after acquiring the animal, excluding time in transit: Provided, however: any live dog or cat, 120 days of age or less, that was obtained from the person that bred and raised such dog or cat, may be exempted from the 5-day holding requirement and may be disposed of by dealers or exhibitors after a minimum holding period of 24 hours, excluding time in transit. Each subsequent dealer or exhibitor must also hold each such dog or cat for a 24- hour period excluding time in transit.Correct this day, July 10, 2026, forward.
