No one expected this extraordinarily happy ending when an alleged stray animal was brought to the Dechanthof animal shelter in Mistelbach (Lower Austria) a few days ago.
The red and white cat was noticed by residents in Poysdorf because he had been begging for food at different houses for a few weeks and also seemed to be malnourished. Although the velvet paw was photographed and the photo was published in a local Facebook group, the owners never made any mention of it.
40 kilometers away
No wonder, since they are also almost 40 kilometers away from the place where they were found, the animal shelter discovered. “The chip check is part of the first program for every animal found,” they say. It turned out that the cat was registered in Weikendorf and reported missing. And since winter 2021. With the first snowfall he suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“Never Give Up Hope”
With each passing week, the family’s hopes of seeing their “Salem” again dwindled. The joy was all the greater when she learned that her beloved cat had been found safe and sound after all. “‘Salem’ left no doubt that he wanted to go right away,” say the Dechanthof employees, who feel confirmed: “It shows that you should never give up hope and how important it is to keep the chip on every animal you find.”
