A dripping tap and a few open feed bags saved Kater Karl Ino’s life. Now he is urgently looking for a loving home.
Gelnhausen – The story of Kater Karl Ino sounds almost unbelievable: after an apartment fire, he was locked up for six weeks and survived this time without sufficient food and water. The Gelnhausen animal shelter, which now takes care of the black hangover, reports on his fate. Those responsible had initially assumed that Karl Ino escaped through an open window.
But that was a mistake. The hangover remained caught in the apartment all the weeks after the fire. “A dripping tap and a few open feed bags saved him his life,” says a Facebook post by the animal rights activists. Finally he was discovered and brought to the shelter by the veterinary office.
Gelnhausen animal shelter hopes for a new home for hangover Karl Ino
At the beginning, Karl Ino was completely exhausted, reports the animal shelter employees. He was “dried out, starved, too weak to walk.” Only his previous strong stature enabled him to survive. Nevertheless, the time left “deep traces”. The animal shelter lists: “Organic values ​​in the alarm area, fire injuries to the rear, severe anemia and massive potassium deficiency.”
Since his arrival in Gelnhausen, Karl Ino has been intensively medical and refused. “X times” he had to go to the vet for examination and treatment. He was bathed several times to remove the soot from his fur. In the shelter he currently lives in a special quarantine area that he uses alone, “but this place will soon be used again for other animals,” emphasize the animal rights activists.
Gelnhausen animal shelter asks for donations
Despite his experiences, Karl Ino is an “incredibly dear and cuddly guy.” The shelter describes its survival as a “real miracle”. Those responsible now want a loving home for the hangover, for people who can continue to offer him the necessary care and treatment.
The animal shelter also asks for donations in order to continue to be able to supply emergencies like Karl Ino in the future, since the veterinary costs are very high in such cases. “Karl Ino was lucky – and we are grateful for any support that enables us to catch up even more such fates,” the animal rights activists write hopefully at the end of their contribution.
Small animals are often considered easy to care for. But everyday life in the Seligenstadt animal shelter shows: rabbits, guinea pigs and Co. need a lot of attention, space and medical care. Sabine Fuchs and Tatjana Bachheibl take care of the smallest residents.
