The owner of a St Joseph boarding kennel is accusing a man of scamming more than $6,000 from him.

Floyd Ball is the owner of the Evergreen Boarding Kennel.   The man who allegedly took the money, also left the kennel with 14 cats, and three dogs. Now the kennel is trying to find a new home for the animals.

“The main thing I’m concerned about is, like I said, we board for other people and we can’t afford to keep 10 stalls closed in where we could be boarding somebody else. I would hate to have these animals neutralized and stuff because it’s not their fault,” Ball said.

He says the alleged scammer left 14 cats and three dogs in his care. They’ve already found a home for the three dogs and four of the cats. They are still trying to find a home for the remaining 10 cats. Call the Kennel at 667-5717 for adoption information.

A Charge of Stealing was filed in September against the man in a separate incident and a warrant was issued then. The kennel owner has also filed a case against the man for allegedly owing more than three months worth of rent on a home.
