JESI It could be called the feline colony of discord, the one that in via Giacomo Magagnini in Jesi started a controversy that has lasted for four years now between citizens who complain about a lack of hygiene, the person responsible Paola Belardinelli who claims her good intentions and the Municipality which tries to act as a mediator. Yesterday the situation worsened. When the AST vet arrived on site for an inspection, things seemed to have heated up to such an extent that the intervention of the local police was needed to restore order.

The tension
And with the arrival of the patrols in via Magagnini, a resident also took to the street. «Here the situation has become unsustainable, he said, these cats are unmanageable, there are too many of them and they defecate everywhere.
And with the food scattered along the street, the mice also arrived.” But Paola doesn’t fit. “They do anything to attack me, I’ve been subjected to any type of harassment for four years,” she says. And she shows the documents attesting to the sterilizations that have taken place. Among the papers also the census of cats and a collection of signatures, 85, which took place in 2022, in which the neighbors endorse Paola’s cleanliness and good work. She vents: «I have always run this colony at my own expense, the food, the kennels for the cats. I paid lawyers out of my own pocket to defend myself against the accusations of some evil person, fortunately few in the neighborhood. And I did it not only for the love of animals, but also to clean up the area. It is known that cat colonies are an excellent tool against stray dogs.” The surrender. «But now I’m tired of having to defend myself. If I have to leave I’ll leave, but the City has to take care of all these cats. If I have to stay, however, the conditions must be there, such as adequate coverage of the kennels from the elements.” The fate of the colony is all written in the Ast report. Were there any irregularities found?
