More than two dozen animals were locked in an apartment in Surgut after the death of the owner. As the director of the Animal Help Center, Daria Naruto, said, the woman's heir first asked for help himself, but when the volunteers arrived, he refused to give up the pets.
"We don't know how many cats are alive now."
