Dubai Municipality rescued 80 stray cats in the old fish market after receiving reports on their difficult situation.

The civic body sent three trucks and 15 specialists from the Veterinary Service Section to save about 80 cats that haven't been receiving sufficient food and care.

Hashim Mohammed Al Awadhi, Head of Dubai Municipality's Veterinary Services Section, said ever since the fish market was recently relocated, the cats have been struggling to find food and basic necessities.

He noted that the cats will receive necessary care and treatment before giving them up for adoption through Aleef app. "The app has a record of potential owners and a record of lost and found, and stray cats. So it helps us reach out to those interested in adopting cats," said Al Awadhi.

The unhealthy or ill cats caught in the market will be euthanized.

Dubai Municipality shared the information on their Instagram account.
