20+ Cats Rescued from Filthy A Coruña Apartment After Years of Neglect

Over 20 Cats Rescued From Squalid A Coruña Apartment After Years of Neglect A Coruña, Galicia – In a heartwarming conclusion to a long-standing issue, over 20 cats were rescued from a severely unsanitary apartment in the Mallos neighborhood of A Coruña. Neighbors had complained for more than five years about an unbearable odor emanating from the building, stating they "couldn't even open the windows." The situation, however, was complicated by the fact that the building was privately owned, requiring a court order before any action could be taken. "They came seven years ago, but we started protesting five years ago," explained one resident, highlighting the protracted nature of the problem. The delay underscores the difficulties faced in addressing such issues in privately owned properties. Finally, on Monday, authorities obtained the necessary judicial authorization. The video shows cleaning crews removing mountains of trash and debris from the apartment, while rescuers carefully extract the cats. One neighbor expressed relief, saying, "They took out about 28, something like that. And today they should be out in their own free will." The rescue operation appears to have been a success, with the cats now in the care of animal welfare organizations. This event serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing animal welfare concerns and the challenges of navigating bureaucratic processes in resolving such issues.
