Senator Grace Poe has raised concerns over the mysterious disappearance of several community cats at a condominium in Pasig City, urging action and accountability from the property’s management, Philstar reported.

The group “Cats of Satori,” composed of cat-loving residents from Satori Residences, reported that multiple cats under their care vanished between January and June this year.

“A number of community cats we’ve cared for have gone missing – some quietly, others under unclear and concerning circumstances,” the group stated.

Among the missing cats are Lucy, Pia, Abner, Darcy, Albus, FC, Bella, Luna, Ginger, Pearl, Atlas, Hershey, and Carrot.

“We don’t know. But we know this: they matter,” the group emphasized on Facebook.

Poe, who has long championed animal welfare, said, “The plea of condominium owners in Pasig City about their missing cats should not fall on deaf ears.”

She praised the group’s commitment to responsible pet care, noting that the residents not only fed the cats but also had them spayed and neutered.

“Before us are families who have created a responsible and compassionate pet caring community in the middle of the urban jungle,” she said.

“The group deserves an explanation from the property management on the disappearance of the cats,” Poe added.

According to the group, there has been an “absence of clear communication” from the Property Management Office.

While the condo management denies involvement, the group is calling for an “immediate and impartial review” of CCTV footage.

“These cats are not pests. They are sentient beings… Justice is what the Cats of Satori deserve,” the group concluded.
