The 79-year-old said that she got her first warning two years ago when she began feeding the animals. She received a total of four orders before being called to the magistrate's office.
Segula's son Dave Pawlowski said that he "couldn't believe" the sentence his mother had been handed down.
"I’m sure people hear about the things that happen downtown in that jail," he said. "And they are going to let my 79-year-old mother go there?"
Segula's 10 day stay is set to commence on August 11.
A petition has since been set up to stop the 79-year-old from being sent to prison.
"She has been given 10 days in jail for feeding said cats," reads the Change.org page.
"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."
