Medford, Long Island (WABC)
-- The owner of a cat sanctuary and an unknown number of cats were killed
in a fire on Monday morning.
The blaze broke out around 7:15
a.m. at the Happy Cat Sanctuary on Dourland Road. The home served as a safe
haven for hundreds of cats.
Officials say owner Chris
Arsenault, 65, was found on the main floor in the back of his home. Roughly 100
cats have been found so far -- both dead and alive.
Friends say Arsenault went back
into the home to rescue the animals after the fire broke out.
"This man lived in an
8x10-foot bedroom with a mini fridge and a microwave, every dime he made,
everything he collected went toward the animals, he was selfless, he took
nothing for himself, this is just so unfair," said friend Lisa Jaeger.
