Seven purebred Persian cats to whom their owner left an inheritance to pay for their living expenses and needs were put up for adoption by a Tampa (southwest Florida) animal welfare organization and there were nearly 200 applications for them, media reported. local.
The new owners of Cleopatra, Goldfinger, Leo, Midnight, Napoleon, Snowball and Squeaky have already been selected based on a number of conditions, including experience with Persian cats, according to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.
The cats spent six months in their mistress’s luxurious home, Nancy Sauerafter he passed away last November at the age of 84 and, although someone visited them every day, they were alone and that was not life for them, a Tampa judge decided.
Thus they passed into the hands of the Human Society of Tampa, which offered them for adoption free of vet charges, food, hairdresser and toys.
“Nancy left money to pay for all the veterinary care, all the food, everything the cats need.”Sherry Silk, executive director of the Human Society, told the local NBC channel.
The money available for their upkeep is about $300,000, enough to cover their expenses and needs for the rest of their lives, Silk said.
The new owners of the cats, who are between the ages of 5 and 6, will be reimbursed for the money they spend on them, when bills are presented.
The Human Society director said she understood there had been so many adoption requests for these cats, but she reminded people that there are many other animals in shelters that need homes and urged people to think about them as well.
“First of all, we have over 300 kittens in our care right now because we are in the middle of the season (…) plus another 100 adult cats available. They are beautiful cats, they are not purebred Persians, but very affectionate and wonderful. I hope the people who didn’t get one of the Persians will come get one of our other animals.Silk said.
