Firefighters managed to rescue one cat but between 10 and 20 others are feared to have perished.
The semi-detached house on Minckelerslaan was completely burned out by the blaze. The householder managed to get out safely before fire crews arrived and was taken to hospital to be treated for breathing problems.
Two neighbouring houses were also damaged in the fire. The cause is not yet known.
