Mici, the fighting cat: A life full of joy in Peine!

In Peine, a moving story provides new hope: Mici, a one-year-old cat, has conquered the hearts of the employees at the Peine animal shelter with her unshakable joy of life. Despite a serious injury to her spine that no longer allows her to walk, the animal shelter employees don't give up. “An animal like this should be euthanized,” is something you often hear, especially when it comes to questionable animal conditions. But the Peine animal shelter is determined to give Mici a second chance.

Mici is not only a fighter, but also a cuddly creature who gets along well with other cats and dogs. She moves nimbly on her front legs and can skillfully climb a scratching post. The animal shelter hopes that Mici will find a loving home where she will be accepted exactly as she is. A secured balcony or garden and a scratching post with several steps are important criteria for adoption in order to enable it to be kept in a species-appropriate manner. Anyone interested can contact the nursing home at number:0175 / 998-0737report. 

A call to responsibility

The situation at the animal shelter is not unique. The influx of animals in need of help is constantly increasing. Many cats in the region are back in heat, and not all cat owners have their animals neutered. This can have serious consequences for the animals. Young cats often have difficulty caring for their babies, which can lead to a lack of milk and the discarding of the weakest kittens. Here the Tierheim Peine provides valuable support for cat owners and offers help for small kittens, regardless of whether they are just one day old or already three weeks old.

There is also a much-needed call for all pet lovers to act responsibly. The pet market is diverse, but many animals end up falling by the wayside. Around 140,000 pets are abandoned in Spain every year - 65% of them are dogs and 35% are cats. Animal welfare organizations vehemently advocate for the adoption of abandoned animals, but many buyers are often only interested in specific breeds and contact breeders without checking the buyers' suitability.

Adoption instead of purchase

The decision to have a pet should be carefully considered. Many future pet owners see puppies as the only option because they believe younger animals are easier to train. But adult animals, like Mici, often have a lot to offer and are already used to people. Unfortunately, they often have a harder time finding a new home, which in some cases can lead to euthanasia. A note that animal welfare associations always emphasize: Consider giving an abandoned animal a chance before you decide to buy it from a breeder.

In today's society, animal welfare is an important issue that concerns many of us. If you are interested in adopting or would like to donate, both the Peine animal shelter and other animal welfare organizations are happy to help. After all, animals, like our Mici, have a right to a loving home. It's up to us to give them this chance.
