Police rescue missing cat Cookie from empty holiday home!

In Neu Wulmstorf, Harburg district, the police recently created a heartfelt moment: a missing cat named “Cookie” was rescued. The owner had been looking for the fluffy four-legged friend for two days when a GPS tracker provided him with invaluable services. The animal lover was able to use the tracker to locate the cat's whereabouts, which was in an empty holiday home. Reported on the relevant details NDR.

The situation initially turned out to be delicate because the landlord of the holiday home could not be reached. However, shortly before the police arrived, he reported back and granted access to the building. The patrol car was quickly on the scene and the officers found Cookie the cat safe and sound inside the house. It remains unclear how he got there - a mystery that concerns many pet owners in similar situations.

Advantages of GPS trackers

The use of GPS trackers for pets is increasing, especially for outdoor cats and dogs who often follow their curiosity and get lost. These small devices offer pet owners the opportunity to locate their pets directly via an app. Veterinarian Judith Schönenstein also recommends microchipping pets that spend a lot of time outdoors. Microchip tags provide a vital identification number and are an additional security measure.

The importance of microchips should not be underestimated. These tiny chips, about the size of a grain of rice, are implanted under the skin and can be read using special reading devices. After a microchip has been placed, animals should be registered in a pet registry, which can be done quickly and free of charge. This allows animal shelters and finders to recognize when a missing animal is found. Important addresses for these registrations are, for example findfix.com and tasso.net.

Tips for pet owners

Searching for a missing pet can often be frustrating and emotional. In addition to using GPS trackers, pet owners can also use tried and tested methods: hanging search posters in the neighborhood, sharing on social media and informing neighbors are important steps to increase the chances of their beloved four-legged friend returning. A finder's fee is not recommended because true animal lovers help out of conviction.

Cookie the tomcat has impressively demonstrated the benefits of GPS tracking for his owner. With the right preparation and moments of cooperation, every pet owner can ensure their furry friend's return quickly and safely, no matter where life's adventures take them.
