A Dutch cat survived after 52 days in an empty house, Dutch News reported.
The new owners of a house in Schidam were shocked when they opened the front door and a emaciated cat flew past them.
The local animal shelter managed to catch the animal and take it to the shelter. Studies have shown that the cat, named Finn, was locked up without food and water in the house for 52 days.
Veterinarians found paper in his stomach, which suggests that the cat was trying to feed on it.
The previous owner left the house in early July and his whereabouts have not been known since. For 52 the house was left unattended until the current owners bought it at auction.
The animal protection organization Dierenbescherming says that Finn is already recovering, but has also been traumatized by people.
