It’s believed that after the man recently became homeless. He started living in his car. Together with his belongings and 47 cats.
With temperatures climbing above 90F (32C) in Minnesota, the authorities stepped in and forced the man to surrender his pets.
It seems that the man had been living with the cats in his car for a while.This until a concerned officer knocked on his window that the situation came to light.
The officer saw the man inside the vehicle. He knew how hot it was outside and knew that must be unbearable inside the car.
Fortunately, the man agreed to hand over the cats to the Humane Society. Realised that couldn’t look after the cats anymore,he was sad. The man admitted that he’d already given up 14 cats before being found in the car with 47.
The Humane Society safely removed all the cats, aged from less than a year to almost 12 years old. They took them to be examined by a vet .
Surprisingly, despite their living conditions, the cats were in good health. Only with a few needing treatments for dehydration. Each cat will also be spayed or neutered, brought up-to-date with vaccinations and given any behavioural therapy they might need.
