Harz's Animal Shelter Stunned - Last-Minute Surprise Arrival
Urgent Rescues at Harz Shelter
In the Harz region, animal care workers regularly encounter suffering, pain, and dramatic rescue situations. A local shelter faced such a situation on May 10th. On that ordinary spring day, someone brought in a heavily pregnant cat whose condition was critical. The cat was on the verge of giving birth. Fortunately, she did so the next day, giving birth to several kittens.
The mother cat seemed to be experiencing her first birth, making the process challenging. Initially overwhelmed and frightened, she could not calm down and lie with her kittens for hours. Tragically, one of the newborns died. The shelter explained that cat mothers instinctively know when something's wrong with their kittens, and they may reject them in such cases.
Just a few days later, another distress call came in. Four tiny kittens, only four days old, were found abandoned in a garden near a pile of wood. Their wild mother had left them, apparently disturbed and eventually leaving her kittens alone. The little ones were completely helpless and needed immediate care to survive the night.
The shelter reported that space is running out due to the high intake of kittens. While several cats are waiting for a foster home, the shelter has an urgent need for loving foster homes in the area to give at least some of the kittens a chance. If you are interested in fostering kittens in the Harz region, contacting local shelters would be the first step. The application process typically involves an application, a home visit or interview, training, support, and a foster care agreement.
It's common for animal shelters, especially during the spring and summer months, to face high intake periods and require foster support. By supporting local shelters, you can help provide temporary care for kittens until they are adopted. For more detailed information, contact local animal shelters or organizations in the Harz region.
