The authorities in Latvia announced a tender for the sale of the cat.
The object called "State Animal - VPM-1442 - 1 mixed cat" will be given to whoever offers the most money and passes the test.
Applications are accepted until 08:00 November 12. The future owner will be checked for tax debts over 150 euros, insolvency and presence on the sanctions lists.
One paragraph of the document even refers to the situation where the buyer does not take "the animal or part of it" - the wording looks like the remainder of a board for the sale of property.
For now, the 9-year-old animal has been sheltered by animal activists in Riga.
