The woman lived on the top floor of the headquarters of the Portuguese green party PAN (People, Animals, Nature) . In the party they knew that the woman had cats but not that many.
The situation was discovered when a judicial official went to execute the eviction order for non-payment. Upon entering, the official found 180 malnourished, sick and some even dead cats . This is known as "Noah syndrome" – adopting animals that need a home until control is lost and they can no longer be cared for.
The woman was a well-known Lisbon psychiatrist . He lived without light or water.
The PAM has launched a parliamentary initiative to create a working group to prevent, detect and help people suffering from “Noah's syndrome”.
