Urgent: Salzgitter animal shelter is looking for loving adoptive parents for kittens!

At the Salzgitter animal shelter, everything currently revolves around the little velvet paws. The rescue station, which looks after dogs, cats and small animals, is seeing a real rush for small cats. Over 60 kittens have been surrendered to the animal shelter in the last few weeks and an urgent search is now underway for adoptive parents. Places for the cats are rare, as the home currently has capacity for up to 80 animals, and the situation is becoming increasingly tight.

The animal shelter is an important contact point for animal lovers in the region. The dedicated carers ensure the well-being of the animals around the clock. The number of cats sold is particularly high in spring and autumn - unusually at this time the kitties find many opportunities to reproduce, which leads to a flood of kittens. Many of the small cats were found as lost animals, often in ditches or bushes, along with their mothers.

Help for the little cats

The animals found are first given medical care in a quarantine station and accustomed to human society. After a few weeks, the kittens are allowed into the animal shelter's children's room, where they can let off steam and play. “We hope that we can quickly find new families for the little ones,” explains an animal shelter employee. Those interested have the opportunity to contact the animal shelter either by phone or email.

The requirements for adoption are clear: There should be enough space, time and financial resources to keep the animal in a species-appropriate manner. If you have other animals at home, you should bring them along to get to know each other - this will ensure that your new roommates get along well together.

Opening times and support options

The animal shelter is open Monday to Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and recommends making an appointment to avoid waiting times. On-site staff are also ready to provide active assistance in choosing a pet. Volunteers who would like to help at the animal shelter are also always welcome.

The nominal adoption fee is used to cover the costs of caring for the animals. The Salzgitter Animal Welfare Association team is always available to ensure that the animals have the best chance of a happy life.

So if you have a big heart for animals and want to give a little kitten a new home, the Salzgitter animal shelter has come to the right place. Not only do the little racers find a home here, but also the help and understanding they need to be happy. Visit the animal shelter and support the campaign - the cats are waiting for you!
