Rescue to Upper Austria – pensioners overwhelmed: 47 cats in 50 square meters

Date:

47 cats had to move 280 kilometers to the Gerd Viebig farm in Maria Schmolln (Upper Austria). Here they are now well looked after, after the herd of cats literally outgrew a pensioner in Vienna.

It all started with four cats two years ago, who got a pensioner in Vienna-Favoriten. But he clearly hadn’t had her spayed or neutered. And if you consider that a cat gives birth to offspring two to four times a year – an average of four kittens – you can calculate how quickly they have multiplied.

Within two years, the herd of cats in the 50 square meter apartment had grown to 47 animals. The cats had no access to the outside and because the pensioner is deaf and not born with smell or taste, he did not notice the stench in the apartment.

He cared for the animals as best he could, fed and cared for them as best he could. To give his cats as much space as possible, the pensioner slept on the balcony in the summer and in the bathtub in the winter.

But now there was a call for help to the helpers of Gut Aiderbichl, which is based in Henndorf in Salzburg but has a branch in the Innviertel, in Maria Schmoll. The cats were taken there, but first spayed and escaped – some of them were also infested with parasites.

Now the house tigers on the Gerd Viebig farm in Maria Schmolln are being ‘resocialised’, those who are underfed are tired and vaccinations are being made good.
