So sad!
More than 60 cats were killed during a fire at an animal shelter on Friday.
Firemen responded to a blaze at Last Hope Cat Kingdom in Atwater, California around 1 a.m., which they say was caused electrical failure.
The fire, which took 2 hours to get under control, took over 60 of the 140 cats housed at the shelter.
The deceased pets will be cremated and buried in a pet cemetery, while the surviving felines are being treated for smoke inhalation at an animal medical center.
Such a tragedy, but we’re happy at least half of the animals made it out safely.
