Peine animal shelter saves Mici: A heart beats despite injury!
A moving fate is currently causing a stir at the Peine animal shelter. One-year-old cat Mici has suffered an injury to her spine and can no longer walk on her hind legs. However, the animal shelter team is optimistic and firmly believes in a second chance for the brave Mici. “An animal like this should be put down,” is what they often hear, but the employees are vehemently committed to each animal and emphasize how much joy for life Mici radiates despite her disability. Her will to live is simply admirable, and the animal shelter is looking for a loving home for Mici where she will be accepted as she is, as News38 reports.
Despite her limitations, Mici is lively and fills those around her with joy. She gets along well with other cats and dogs and is particularly cuddly. In order to offer her the best possible quality of life, she needs a scratching post with several steps and a secured balcony or garden. Anyone interested can contact the foster home directly on 0175 / 998-0737 to give Mici a chance at a happy life.
Animal protection in the region
The situation of animals in distress is not just an isolated case. Those responsible at the Peine animal shelter are currently observing that many cats are coming back into heat without being castrated. Often, young cats that have recently given birth cannot adequately care for their babies, resulting in high mortality among kittens. In many cases, the weakest animals are sorted out and left behind, which places great strain on animal welfare. Animal welfare organizations offer support for cat owners and are always available, no matter how old the kittens are. Prompt contact is essential and there is no cost to handing over the kittens to a foster home. However, the foster homes are happy about donations that benefit the animals, as Tierheim Peine points out.
The great need for castrations is also visible internationally. An example of this is the VETO rescue mission that took place in Greece in the summer of 2024, where the closure of a municipal animal shelter led to a dramatic increase in the dog population. Inadequate castration and veterinary care resulted in 400 street dogs living in catastrophic conditions. Help came in the form of 9,000 euros for the castration of 60 dogs in Xanthi, but the situation remains tense, as VETO describes.
The stories of animals like Mici and the desperate dogs in Greece vividly illustrate how important animal protection is. Every animal deserves a second chance and a loving home where it can live in safety.
