As Hurricane Florence barreled toward the North Carolina coast, Tammie Hedges decided to open a warehouse she had been remodeling to house pets displaced by the storm.

The animals came from the streets, where volunteers found them, and from owners who had to evacuate but couldn’t bring their pets with them, said Kathie Davidson, who volunteers for a nonprofit that Hedges founded a few years ago in Goldsboro, N.C. Many of the animals were sick, injured and neglected. Some cats were covered with so many fleas that volunteers had to scrub their play pen with bleach twice. One cat had a bleeding cut on its neck, and Hedges treated the wound with an ointment she bought from a Dollar Tree store, Davidson said.

Twenty-seven animals — 17 cats and 10 dogs — were in Hedges’s care as the storm pummeled the state.

But while many saw her actions as an act of goodwill to help animals during a natural disaster, county officials saw a violation of the law. They arrested and charged Hedges — a decision that immediately spun into a controversy in the community about 60 miles southeast of Raleigh.

Hedges is facing a dozen misdemeanor charges and accused of practicing veterinary medicine without a license. Specifically, she is charged with administering medications such as amoxicillin and a tropical antibiotic ointment to the animals, according to the nonprofit’s Facebook page. The group said she is also facing one count of solicitation of a Schedule IV controlled substance for asking for a donation of tramadol, a prescription pain medication used for animals.
