Cat mom and kitten exposed: Peine animal shelter needs help!

In the Peine animal shelter, the fate of a cat mom and her eight -week -old kitten in a moving incident on July 10th is truly tragic. As reported News38, the two were simply thrown over the fence, whereby the cat mom was waiting at the door of the animal shelter while kitten was hidden in a box. Shocked, animal shelter head Heike Brakemeier described that the Situation was to be seen as a "catastrophe" and that the little being was very afraid. However, the animal shelter's employees immediately showed themselves: they took care of the two after the kitten and the frightened mom were first separated.

The first challenge was to capture the cat mom, which initially ran away in fright. Fortunately, she returned after a short time and could be supplied with food and water. On July 17, the animal shelter employees finally managed to bring the mother cat to safety. The duo is now lovingly looked after in the shelter, and those responsible are trying to learn more about the background of their levy. Here they hope for information from the population.

a worrying phenomenon

This sad event is not an isolated case, but part of a bigger problem that shows up again and again in the kitten season and especially during the vacation time. Many pet owners simply release their animals or want to get rid of them. According to the website of the Peine animal shelter, this is often related to non-neutered cats, which are becoming pregnant again without the holders being planned in advance.

cats are particularly rolling in the period of spring and summer, and since many owners do not let their cats castrate, there are regularly unwanted offspring. This means that young mothers are often overwhelmed, which can lead to problems such as a lack of milk supply, in which the weaker kittens often have to be sorted out. In these cases, the shelter offers support and accepts kittens of all ages. They can be accommodated in foster homes at no cost, whereby donations are welcome.

castration in the discussion

The topic of castration is a hotly discussed topic that is repeatedly taken up in animal welfare. The [reports of pets current] (https://haustiereaktuell.de/blog/kastration-katze-controversse discussion-Ueber-kastration-mut-im-animal protection/) show that a castration obligation for free-range cats is a controversial topic. Proponents rely on the fact that castration not only contains the overpopulation, but also protects suffering animals and threatened wild animals. Free -running cats can cause considerable damage to the local wildlife due to uncontrolled propagation and the lack of human care.

opponents see the interference with the rights of the owners and emphasize the costs and health risks associated with such an intervention. A nationwide castration obligation could have many owners of unsolvable problems and overload the animal shelters. The search for a solution that respects both animal welfare and the rights of the owners is therefore of great importance.

The fate of the cat mom and her kittens made of Peine is an impressive example of how urgently the discussion about responsible animal husbandry, castration and animal welfare is. The shelter invites the public to actively contribute to preventing such tragic fates in the future.
