The stray cats in the abandoned buildings in Square Gambetta are being captured. For reasons of public safety but not only.
Abandoned for twenty years, the old buildings of the Cdo brand, facing Square Gambetta, in the city center of Chtelleault, have been colonized for years by stray cats.
The City of Chtellerault has decided to launch a campaign to capture the twenty or so tomcats wandering in this former disused business and its surroundings.

The City also has a project
The risk of nuisance to public health is not the only reason that leads the City to want to get rid of these cats. In the municipal arrest, we learn that the buildings at 26, square Gambetta (ex-Cdo) will be refurbished. According to the latest news, the local authority has acquired this 2,100m building wasteland with a view to developing a parking lot and a leisure activity (bowling, trampoline park, arcade games?).
