NEWARK, NJ — Several cats lost their makeshift homes after a fire torched an abandoned warehouse in Newark on Saturday, but community members have come together to build them new shelters, according to a local resident.

According to the Newark Department of Public Safety, around 10:10 a.m., about 60 Newark firefighters responded to the scene of a fire on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a three-story, vacant commercial building at 14 Garden Street.

The flames took out power lines and cut electricity to about 1,200 homes in the Ironbound section of the city, News 12 New Jersey reported.
