🐾 Legal Catfight: Nonprofit Sues Founder’s Daughter Over Medford Sanctuary Property The tragedy at Happy Cat Sanctuary—where founder Chris Arsenault and over 100 cats perished in a fire—is now followed by a legal battle. The nonprofit that operated the sanctuary has filed suit against Arsenault’s daughter, Kristen Arsenault, over control of the Medford, NY property. 📑 Kristen claims she’s the rightful trustee of the Christopher Arsenault Irrevocable Trust, created in 2023 to protect the sanctuary's mission and assets. 🚫 The nonprofit says not so fast—arguing the trust can’t own the sanctuary under NY law, and only the board has legal authority over its future. 🐱 Meanwhile, concerns swirl over the sanctuary’s condition, its remaining animals, and whether personal interests are interfering with public trust.
