A community is coming together to save hundreds of cats who have taken over the Paradise Spas apartment complex.
The property will start being torn down at the end of this month to make way for a new development, meaning the clock is ticking to rescue the cats.
“I love them all. I would take them if I could,” said Ingrid Villeda, who has lived at the property for five years.
She says the cats have always been there, and the population kept growing year after year.
“There are hundreds of cats here on property that have been here a long time, and they get into the ceiling and the roofs in the walls. We’ve taken them out of the walls before,” said Heather Paquin, who helps manage the property.
Paquin shared she’s concerned about all the cats since the property must be completely vacant by this summer.
“It makes me think, what’s going to happen to the rest of them? That’s my biggest worry because I don’t wanna see all these other animals die,” said Katrina Monte.
“Of course, my hope is that they all could be saved, but that seems impossible,” Paquin said.
