Reports are saying that a woman, Nancy Sauer, left a huge inheritance and her $2.5 million mansion to her seven cats after she passed away last year. The New York Post reported that Sauer proclaimed in her will that her cats, Cleopatra, Goldfinger, Leo, Midnight, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squeaky must stay at the home because it would upset them if they had to separate.
Yana Alban, Sauer’s friend said,
“The deal is that the house was not to be sold until the last cat passed… She loved them so much.”
Sauer died back in November at 84 years old. She left her cats an
“unspecified”
inheritance, which was supposed to be responsible for their expenses for the remainder of their lives.
The executive director of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, Sherry Silk said,
“[It was] substantial … enough to cover the cats’ food, medical and grooming bills forever. They’re young. They’re only 5 years old. Persians can be expensive and persnickety.”
For six months, the kitties lived at the home alone for six months until it was ruled that they be moved to a location where they’ll receive better care. This order was ruled by a Hillsborough County probate judge.
Silk said,
“Cats shouldn’t be left by themselves in a big house. I am going to personally make sure that we can keep as many together as we can and that they go to the perfect house.”
According to reports, this week, the cats will be put up for adoption.
