Heartless action – seven kittens and mother cat left in cardboard box

Date:

What happens to a person who leaves seven helpless kittens and their mother next to garbage cans? The TierQuarTier employees asked themselves this question Thursday when they looked inside a box that had eight cats crammed into it. A passer-by previously warned the animal rescue service of the city of Vienna: In the area of ​​Felberstraße in the direction of the Westbahnhof, next to garbage cans, there was a box with the four-legged friends in it.

With no air holes, water or food, the kittens, only a few weeks old, were left with their mother along a busy road. The Animal Rescue of the City of Vienna was immediately on the scene and took the cat family to the TierQuarTier, where the velvet paws were examined by a veterinarian.

“Our vets estimate that the kittens are four weeks old, the mother cat about two years old. All animals are doing well given the circumstances; the most important thing is that they can now recover from the effort,” said operations manager Thomas Benda.

“Unfortunately, we know enough about tragic fortunes. And yet I’m amazed how anyone has thrown these innocent cats out like garbage. During the day it was over 30 degrees in Vienna – it’s hard to imagine what the kittens would have been like if they hadn’t been discovered in time,” Benda continued.

Four-legged friends are placed in good places
The entire cat family has now moved to an experienced foster home, where the seven kittens and their mother are lovingly cared for and cared for. “As soon as their age and health permits, the baby cats and their mother will be placed in new, beautiful homes,” Benda promises.

The TierQuarTier now relies on the help of the population: have you seen anything out of the ordinary or do you know where the abandoned animals come from? Then contact the Lost and Found Pet Service of the City of Vienna on 01/4000 80 60. It is prohibited to leave animals behind, fines up to 7500 euros can be imposed!
