Dubrovnik’s most popular die
The most popular cat in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik, which went viral after it was forced out from the 14th-century Rector’s Palace in the Old City where it invested its days, has actually died.
Last year, more than 12,000 individuals signed a petition after 17-year-old roaming cat Anastazija had her little wood house gotten rid of from the palace when the museum said she would need to discover another home and was not welcome there any longer.
The cat’s specially-built wood home, which mixed into the architecture, was gotten rid of after the museum said it and her food and water bowls were an eyesore.
The cat had ended up being a favourite of both regional Dubrovnik homeowners and travelers throughout the years who typically fed her and took images of her.
Whilst her home might have been gotten rid of, Anastazija still returned and was seen there over the summertime however after being gotten rid of from the palace each early morning and with winter season approaching, she required a brand-new home and she discovered one thanks to a vet from Dubrovnik who took her in.

This week it was revealed that Anastazija had actually unfortunately died.
A goodbye letter was released on the cat’s Facebook page which said that anybody who understood Anastazija understood that she did not quit quickly, however age and disease take their toll.
“Neither Dubrovnik nor the whole world remembers such a story about a cat. From a Dubrovnik street cat, you became a world-famous cat on magazine covers. Everyone wrote only about you and your little house. You sparked a cat revolution. You will be missed by your people who have always been by your side, as well as many who have heard your story and met you on your walks,” the post read.
