A La Crosse woman will spend 18 months on probation for breaking into an Onalaska animal shelter to steal her cats back last year.

Forty-seven-year-old Lee Ann Shore was sentenced Wednesday. The complaint alleges Shore shattered a window at the Coulee Region Humane Society in late May to steal 15 cats, including eight seized from her apartment.

Shore cannot have contact with the humane society or own more than four cats. She also must pay restitution and serve 80 hours of community service.
