Cat family abandoned in front of the Mühlhausen animal shelter – help urgently needed!
Mühlhausen animal shelter is fighting against “kitten wave”: Young mother cats and their infected kittens urgently need support.
Cat family abandoned in front of the Mühlhausen animal shelter – help urgently needed!
On Tuesday, May 13th, the employees of the Mühlhausen animal shelter faced with a worrying situation in Thuringia. A transport box was found in front of the staff entrance in which a young mother cat of around one year old was abandoned with her three-week-old kittens. The five small cats have sore and sticky eyes, which indicates poor care. The mother cat appears fearful and insecure, which further illustrates her plight.
The Muehlhausen animal shelter emphasizes the urgency of the situation. This family of cats desperately needs safety, love and medical care to have a chance at a good life. The current “kitten wave”, which increasingly occurs in spring and summer, is responsible for this challenge. Many unwanted kittens are born every year, often to unneutered outdoor cats.
Worrying condition of cats
Animal shelter staff express concern about the current number of kittens and their health status. These challenges are not new, but recently it has become increasingly difficult to have enough foster homes available. The support of the public is particularly needed in times like these, when many animals are given up or found in emergencies.
The animal shelter appeals to the general public. Donations in the form of food or money are not only welcome, but also support from potential foster homes. An additional option is to share posts on social networks to make even more people aware of the need for help.
Role of animal welfare
In the region, animal shelters like the one in Mühlhausen play a central role in animal protection. Animals can be adopted or given away here, while the local animal protection association is responsible for rehoming animals. Not only cats and dogs are offered, but also small animals, birds and reptiles. Some information about the animals to be adopted is available online. If you want to find out more about the background, you can contact the animal shelter directly.
In addition, veterinarians in Mühlhausen ensure that the animals receive medical care. Volunteers make valuable contributions, for example by walking dogs or helping to get food. Local shops also offer everything necessary for animal husbandry, which promotes the respectful treatment of animals in the region.
Given the many challenges, every helping hand is important. The animal shelter and the organizations responsible invite everyone to get involved and have a positive impact on the lives of these animals.
