After court: Shirley Stannard, left, and her sister, Frances, appeared in New Scotland Town Court on Oct. 23 after being arrested on Sept. 29 for one count of failure to provide sustenance to animals. They live in a camper trailer and had 45 cats, which were taken by the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society. The Stannards were assigned a public defense lawyer and are scheduled to appear in town court again on Nov. 20. They have put aside their plans to travel south in their camper.
