Numerous Cats End Up in TierQuarTier Vienna
Increasingly, employees at TierQuarTier Vienna are noticing that animals are not being picked up but are intentionally abandoned. This was also the case with Mamacita, a young cat who was discovered helpless with her five kittens in a garden in the 22nd district.
TierQuarTier Vienna: Cats Are Often Abandoned and Left Behind
Malnourished and weakened, the small cat family arrived at TierQuarTier Vienna, where they are now being cared for with attention and medical help. The kittens are still very small and require continuous care to survive. "It's just sad," says Thomas Benda, operations manager of TierQuarTier Vienna. "More and more animals are being carelessly abandoned, simply left behind. Disposing of animals like garbage - it's shocking. They are living beings with feelings, not disposable items. Each of these cases shows how important education, responsibility, and help are." Cats are often left in boxes, carrier bags, or cartons on roadsides, in stairwells, or parks. It is obvious that they are not missed. Abandoning animals not only violates moral norms but is also a criminal act. It can be punished with fines of up to 7,500 euros.
TierQuarTier Vienna Reminds of Responsibility for Pets
A pet is not a toy. Anyone who takes in a pet assumes responsibility for many years. This also includes having outdoor cats chipped and correctly registered to quickly identify them in an emergency. Neutering outdoor cats to prevent unwanted offspring is also legally required. People who see animals, observe something, or know where an animal comes from are asked to report it. Perhaps someone recognizes one of the animals in the published photos. Please send information to the pet lost and found service of the City of Vienna at the phone number 01/4000 8060. Important: Abandoning animals is legally prohibited and can be punished with fines of up to 7,500 euros.
TierQuarTier Vienna Needs Donations for Animal Care
Caring for injured and abandoned animals like Mamacita and her young requires significant effort and high costs. With a donation, you help us save lives, finance medical treatments, and provide the necessary care for the animals. In addition to a one-time donation, you can also contribute through a cat sponsorship and support our protégés in the long term. All information about donations and sponsorships can be found at www.tierquartier.at. In the municipal animal shelter TierQuarTier Vienna, up to 150 dogs, 300 cats, and several hundred small animals are offered a safe and loving temporary home on an area of about 9,700 square meters. There, they receive the necessary medical care, are lovingly cared for, and are placed with responsible people.
