What we have learned from a neighbor who lives next-door, the home owners died within a few weeks of each other. The police were called in and they in turn called the Humane Society to rescue the cats. They were reluctant to get involved, so the police let the cats out of the house.

I thought perhaps there was a missing link to the story, but it appears it is factual and the cats have been left on their own. Were it not for kindly neighbors and concerned residents, they would be entirely without food, but people who love animals have stepped up to the plate to do what they can for them. Some seem to be in need of veterinary care and are a bit timid, but most are very friendly and craving attention. The friend who told me about it has brought food over and taken photos - I counted 14 in the group she captured in one of her shots. She understands there were originally about 25 but some may have died or fallen prey to wild animals by now. Unbelievably distressing.
