Tacoma police rescue 60 cats and kittens from an abandoned 40-foot sailboat off Owens Beach near Washington state, after a six-day operation. Officers find many of the animals frightened and malnourished during the removal.
The boat is located anchored near the beach and is reported as abandoned. CBS News says the sailboat is found last week, while Fox News describes the rescue effort stretching across six days as officers recover the animals and coordinate their care. Both outlets characterize the incident as a welfare rescue involving a large number of animals and emphasize the condition of the cats when they are discovered.
