Landed kitten in Gießen: the call for rescue!

Gießen, Deutschland - In Gießen, a freshly discovered cat stick causes a stir and stirs the hearts of the animal lover: inside. On June 29, 2025, the small kitten was handed in in a box in the found animal house of the Gießen animal shelter. The previous history of the kitten could hardly be more dramatic, as the Giessener reported.

Supported by a generous donation, the kitten was given, but unfortunately without any information about possibly existing siblings or the mother. The animal shelter's team is grateful for everyone who brings abandoned animals to the found animal house instead of simply suspending them. For the shelter, it is now important to collect further information about the little residents.

The upcoming skills of the kababy are also closely linked to the experiences of Jessica Sladek. She discovered the little kitten on Sunday, June 28th, during a walk in a provisional shelter on Hammstrasse. When she saw the kitten again the following day, she spontaneously took it up. Once in the shelter, the kitten showed no visible injuries, but was visibly hungry and trembled with fear. In the Giessener Anzeiger is told that Sladek and her helper can find the kitty greedy.

Hannah Wern, the head of the Gießen animal shelter, reported that this is a recurring trend: Many cats are exposed to because their owner can no longer take care of them. During the pandemic, many pets were purchased, which, when they come to puberty, are often no longer wanted.

challenges in the Gießen animal shelter

The animal shelter itself faces financial challenges, since the care costs for a cat amount to over 600 euros in four weeks. This represents a considerable burden. In addition, people are dependent on donations in order to cover the running costs. Although the shelter is overcrowded, every animal that arrives is helped. Right now are the employees: In the inside, looking for a suitable name for the kitten and announce to publish his gender in another video on Facebook.

Speaking of mediation: The shelter has a wide range of animals that are looking for a new home. The cost of adoption of a cat is between 50 and 100 euros, depending on age and properties. The animal protection league also indicates that the adoption not only gives a second chance, but also creates space for other cats in need. It is important that the new pet owners respond to the special needs of the animals, be it through suitable living conditions or the necessary run.

The fate of the little kitten remains to be seen. Perhaps it will soon be able to move to a loving home where it will not only find a safe harbor, but also a new family. Hope is great - not only for the kitten, but also for many others who are waiting for a chance in the Gießen animal shelter.
