CUBA, N.Y. (WIVB) - Neighbors in the Village of Cuba turned to News 4 for help after a woman died, leaving no one to care for her horse and seven cats.

Neighbor Harry Wasyl said, "I called Channel 4 to see if they could help out here and you know, people seem to listen. I know there are a lot of animal lovers out there that would probably help you know, somehow."

The Allegany County SPCA is thanking Channel 4 for our coverage because after our story aired, a woman came forward to say she would take the horse. And volunteers with the "Joyful Rescue" group have stepped forward to take in the cats.
