Felix, the Mayor” of Wolfsburg: A heart for animal protection!

The animal protection work in Wolfsburg impressively shows how a committed community can significantly improve the quality of life of animals. A shining example of this is the story of Felix the cat, who once came to Wolfsburg animal aid as “Matschi”. On an August day in 2020, his condition was alarming: a severe cold and festering eyes characterized the image of the neglected cat. But the tireless care of Jana, an animal aid employee, was to change the fate of the little four-legged friend forever. On the occasion of August 14, 2025, we are here to highlight Felix's impressive journey and the importance of animal welfare.

Felix, who jumps into the hearts of neighbors every day with his charming nature, was adopted on St. Nicholas Day 2020. Since then, the cat has lived in a loving home, where he was named “Felix”. Despite having a cloudy eye, this does not have a negative impact on his quality of life. On the contrary, Felix has become the “mayor” of his neighborhood, always ready for little adventures and occasional visits to the vet.

A life full of warmth and cuddles

Felix's initial shyness is now a thing of the past. In his new home he has not only gotten used to the people, but also to the comfort of the sofa. So the tomcat now not only enjoys the freedom of nature, but also the closeness to his people. Felix's development into a cuddly cat shows how important patient care and love are for animals in need. He has particularly mastered the daily care of his eyes with flying colors. He often loves to sit on his master's lap while he carries out the necessary care.

But even the everyday brings its surprises. Felix’s owner occasionally has the wrong food on her shopping list. However, this has its advantages: the unsuitable food is distributed to other animals in the animal aid. A win-win situation that shows how complex the relationship between pets and humans can be.

The light at the end of the tunnel

Felix is ​​more than just an animal; He is a living example of the successes that can be achieved through animal protection. The animal aid employees are actively committed to the care and medical care of animals like Felix. Their work is not only meaningful for the animals, but also an impetus for the community to care for the welfare of animals who often unknowingly suffer. Felix thanks the animal aid's commitment with his warmth of heart and his “mayor” charm.

We are proud to tell stories like these and hope that they inspire others to also support animal welfare. Every contribution counts, and as Felix shows, there can be a happy ending even in the most difficult situations. You can also support Tierhilfe Wolfsburg and help ensure that even more animals can find happy homes. Felix is ​​living proof that it's worth believing in good things - for people and animals.
