Rescue in Thuringia: Four orphaned kittens urgently need help!
Rescue in Thuringia: Four orphaned kittens urgently need help!
The animal welfare organization Nordhausen in Thuringia is currently faced with an unexpected situation. Four kittens that were left by her mother are waiting to be looked after by the volunteers. These newcomers increase the total number of bottle kitten in the club to eleven, which is an additional challenge for the committed helpers.
These little creatures were found in Lower Sachs Throwing, a district of the Harztor municipality, on the fence. Kevin Schmidt, the head of the State Animal Protection Association in Thuringia, describes the worrying situation: "The kittens sat around on the fence and threatened to walk on the street." In the bad weather conditions, with rain and cold temperatures, this was a particularly critical moment for the helpless animals. The animal rights activists acted quickly and brought the kittens into a safe environment, where they now have to be medical care.

After the little kittens were brought to safety, there is a sad fate: her mother no longer accepted her. The volunteers tried everything to capture the cat mom. But after two days in the trap, they finally managed to secure them. Despite all the efforts to bring them together with their young, the attempt was in vain. Schmidt indicates: "Young cats tend to be totally overwhelmed with their little ones." This could be an indication of the circumstances under which the animals live.
Schmidt further explains that cats are already sexually mature at the age of ten to twelve months, which gives them an additional tragedy. "This is comparable to a 13- or 14-year-old human mother," he adds. This young cat mother could have been overwhelmed out of the diverse challenges associated with the rearing of their descendants.
For the animal rights activists in Nordhausen, it is an emotional act of strength not only to supply the new bottle kitten, but also to understand the background of the neglected animals. They emphasize that their commitment does not result from a sense of duty, but from a deep affection for the animals. "We do not do this because we have to, but because we want - for the animals that don't have any other," explains the organization in a social network.
The situation not only underlines the challenges of animal welfare in the region, but also raises questions about the responsibility of the animal owners. The animal protection organization Nordhausen hopes not only to help the little kitten with its work, but also to raise awareness of the needs of pets and their species -appropriate attitude.

The animal rights activists are now committed to feeding the little cats with bottles until they are old enough to eat independently. It is to be hoped that you will soon find a loving home in which you will experience the care and love that you need so urgently.
