23 cats were taken hostage after their owners died.
In Surgut, in an apartment on Geologicheskaya street, 18/1, lived a woman who helped homeless animals. But she died, and the crowd of cats remained a barrier inside the place. According to the director of the local animal aid center, Daria, the deceased's son first asked volunteers to pick up the pets, but when they arrived, he refused to open the door.
The woman claims that several cats could have died - there is a strong smell coming from the apartment. Volunteers cannot check how many animals and in what condition they are. The police were called to the scene, but according to Daria, the arrival of the local policeman did not change anything. Zookeepers are willing to pick up the cats themselves, but ask law enforcement to conduct an inspection.
