Kater Schnurri misses! Animal shelter asks for help in Oberkotzau!

Oberkotzau, Deutschland - The animal shelter Hof launched an urgent search for the runaway cat Schnurri on April 16, 2025. The loving cat, who previously lived in the shelter, has disappeared since April 13th. Animal welfare employees ask the population to be attentive and to search for Schnurri in garages and garden houses, since cats can often be trapped in such places. Unfortunately, there has been no trace of the animal until April 23, and the animal shelter employee reports on a worrying increase in the disappearance of cats in the region. This could possibly be related to the spring time, since cats often stay outside during this time.

The curiosity of the cats means that they get into unsecured places such as garages and garden houses, which makes their return difficult. The shelter is increasingly receiving reports from cat owners who miss their animals. Schnurrri is described as friendly and easy to deal with and can be touched without any problems. Information about his whereabouts can be reported on 09281/41961.

concern about abused cats

At the same time, the Hof animal shelter recently recorded 15 cats from neglected attitude, which were saved by the Bayreuth Veterinary Office. The cats show alarming signs of trauma and behavioral problems, which indicates their heavy background. A total of 60 cats in the region were arranged in the rescue operation, which took place about three weeks ago. Two of the newly recorded cats died on the night after their arrival, and another three kittens gave birth to, only one of which survived.

The cats are between six and eight years old and are in poor health. Among them had to be carried out in four animals. At the moment, the cats hardly show movement and hardly react to human closeness. The animal shelter has started to provide medically care and plan to strengthen the trust of cats in humans through loving contact.

call for aid from the shelter

In order to offer the cats a loving new home, the shelter urgently needs financial support for the high costs for medical treatments, castrations and deworms. In addition, the shelter is looking for volunteers who want to spend time with the animals and want to help reduce their fear of people. This initiative could help improve the life of the traumatized fur noses.

For those who are willing to give an animal a new home, there is also information about cats that are available for mediation on the website of Katzen Herzen . There, interested parties will find an overview of the animals, contact persons and the necessary steps in the adoption process. All applications are processed within 24 hours, and the mediation is only carried out after the suitability of the prospect.

As loving animal lovers, we are asked to keep our eyes open, both for missing cats and Schnurri, as well as for the needy animals in the animal shelter Hof, which hope for a new home.
