SPECIAL REPORT:
Sixty cats killed in early-morning fire at sanctuaryATWATER -- An early morning fire Friday killed more than 60 cats at a sanctuary on Bailey Road that was built to save them. When Renate Schmitz, founder of Last Hope Cat Kingdom, got up at 1 a.m. to check on her dogs, she smelled the smoke coming from the sanctuary behind her house. It didn't take long before she saw her recently furnished office, at one end of the building, burning. Smoke from the fire was sucked through the ventilation system and filled the rooms that housed cats. |
