- Texas, USA -
The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 63-year-old JULIA SZEBEHELY (pictured).
On September 7, 2024, the sheriff’s office responded to her property in the 800 block of 29th Street in San Leon to assist the Galveston County Health District Animal Services with an animal cruelty investigation after numerous dead cats were found of the property.
Deputies found the property in deplorable condition and at the rear, they discovered an emaciated horse. SZEBEHELY was on site when officials were there.
The Houston SPCA also responded to the scene to assist with the overall investigation and removed the emaciated horse, four live cats, and sixteen cat carcasses.
Ten days later, the Sheriff's Office Animal Cruelty Investigator conducted a follow-up investigation resulting in the execution of a search warrant. The search led to the discovery of forty-two animal carcasses bringing the total of dead animals removed from the property to sixty.
The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that the majority of the deceased animals “were located inside locked kennels, crates, and traps.”
After presenting the case to the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office, ten counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals and one count of cruelty to a livestock animal were accepted on SZEBEHELY. She was arrested and booked into the Galveston County Jail on a $16,500 bond. Online records show she was released after posting it.

She posted bond & is out to ‘collect’ more innocent cats. Although she had $$$ to post bond she somehow couldn’t feed the poor cats. This woman must be banned from ever collecting animals for the rest of her life. RIP Innocent Souls
