Adoption process and cause of fire continues at the cat sanctuary on Long Island

More updates released on the Happy Cats Sanctuary on Long Island. After investigators ruled out arson from the fire on March 31st that resulted in the death of cats and the owner, Chris Arsenault, more information was released to the public.

Before the fire, fire officials had been at the sanctuary working closely with Chris on the codes.

Brookhaven Fire Marshal Chris Mehrmann quoted,

“Cannot rule out a fire caused by propane-fed portable heaters that were in the area of fire origin.”

The investigation continues whether the fire extended due to the walls and flooring which were all custom jobs.

The cause of fire remains under investigation.

As for the surviving cats, the adoption process continues under the guidance of Chris's friend and main volunteer Lisa Jaeger who refuses to rest until all cats are in good homes. However, a new memo was released by the Happy Cats Sancturary on Lisa much to everyone's surprise.

As of now, Chris's daughter is working on her father's legacy.

A new press release was announced today of a surprising memo which can be seen at this link on the latest post added,
