SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. (WSVN) -- An exotic cat that was found living in poor conditions in a South Florida home has died.

Wildlife officials said the 65-pound cat was extremely sick when it was seized from a home. The cat was taken to an exotic animal care facility, but was unable to recover from extensive damage to its internal organs.

The property owner and the wildlife dealer, who traded the cat, are both facing charges.
