Over several days they located and removed cats, including some found by drilling into the hull; a bystander illegally boarded the boat and took two cats. All cats were taken to the Humane Society for health evaluations, with owner identification and potential charges to be determined. The boat remains a crime scene while authorities plan to remove it.
