November 1, 2021Three cats left behind after volcano eruption on La Palma
An elderly married couple was given only 10 minutes to leave their house in a rush and could not get a hold of their beloved cats, so they had to leave without them after the volcano on La Palma erupted.
The elderly couple was safely evacuated and initially stayed in spaces set up for the evacuated people but later on, they moved to their boat which they say is the “only alternative” for them.
The couple has a house in the area of Todoque which for the time being has managed to avoid being buried by lava. They hope that the house will remain safe, but their main worry is their cats.
They have three cats which they were unable to evacuate with them. They said: “Hopefully they can drink water from the pool and we left five kilograms of kibble inside the house so that they can feed themselves”.

Around 6,000 inhabitants of the island have also had to be evacuated. The volcano Cumbre Vieja on La Palma has been erupting for weeks now.
At the moment is not possible to return to their house and their greatest concern is the well-being of their cats. “We don’t care about the house, we worry about our cats” they said.
A local policeman who also has a house in the same area is keeping the couple informed on the status of their home. They can only hope that her cats remain safe.
