Poor hangover Foxy is looking for a loving home in the Gießen animal shelter!

The found hangover Foxy is currently causing a lot of sympathy in the Gießen shelter. The little hangover was found in a serious state and urgently needs loving care. According to Op-Online , Foxy is strongly emaciated, whereby its spine is clearly visible. His fur is covered by oil -containing dirt, which resulted in several bathrooms. Further fur care is necessary to return it.

In addition to his poor physical condition, Foxy also suffers from massive runny nose. Various medical tests were carried out to rule out possible diseases because it is obviously older. Despite all of these health problems, Foxy shows himself as a real cuddly chest. Users on Facebook express their sympathy and wish him a early recovery. To recover completely, Foxy needs peace, care and good food.

background to the situation of the street cats

The problem with which Foxy is faced with reflects a greater challenge that affects many street cats in Germany. According to the Katzenschutzreport Untreated diseases, road traffic and malnutrition are the main hazards for these animals. In particular, the life expectancy of street cats is less than that of domestic cats, which is due to trauma and health problems.

The conditions for freely living cats are worrying because up to 75 % of the kittens do not survive the first months of life. This is often due to respiratory and intestinal diseases that spread in the street cat population and can also endanger domestic cats. The Corona pandemic has led to an increase in the street cat population, since less castrations were carried out during the lockdowns and more cats were suspended.
