Keep 79 yr old Nancy Segula out of jail

The Issue

79 year old Nancy Segula from Garfield Heights Ohio has been given 10 days in jail for feeding cats that a neighbor left when moving out and now are considered stray cats. In Garfield Heights, it is illegal to feed stray dogs and cats under ordinance 505.23. 

She has been given 10 days in jail for feeding said cats. Had it not been for her taking care of these cats, said cats would have caused havoc getting into trash cans and causing a mess. 10 days in jail for a 79 year old woman taking care of cats is beyond my comprehension. 

Please share this and let us try to keep Nancy out of jail! Tell Magistrate Jeffrey Short that this sentence is not acceptable. A woman of her age and for the "crime" she is guilty of is not the right sentence.
