Mexico's Presidential Palace Officially Homes Feral Cats as 'Living Fixed Assets'

In a historic move, Mexico's government has officially recognized 19 feral cats residing in the National Palace as 'living fixed assets', ensuring their care for life.

Nineteen feral cats have been granted free rein of Mexico's National Palace, now recognized as 'living fixed assets' by the government.
The declaration obligates the country's Treasury to provide food and care for the cats indefinitely, even after the current administration leaves office.
The cats, some named after artists and Aztec words, have become symbols of the National Palace and are involved in day-to-day activities, including official ceremonies.
Veterinary care, including vaccinations, sterilization, and microchipping, has been arranged for the cats, alongside the construction of feeding stations and cat homes in the garden.
The decision marks the first time in Mexico that animals have been declared as 'living fixed assets', highlighting their importance to the National Palace's cultural heritage.
