Sixty cats and kittens have now been rescued from an abandoned sailboat that was found anchored off a beach in Washington state, police said.
The 40-foot boat, initially spotted earlier this month in waters near Tacoma’s Owen Beach, remains the focal point of an active criminal investigation as well as an ongoing search for additional felines that may have evaded law enforcement so far.
