The cat project at Gut Aiderbichl

Around 912 rescued cats live on all of Gut Aiderbichl's farms. These are abandoned cats, stray cats, cats that have caused trouble in the neighborhood by wandering around, cats whose owners have died and cats that have been rescued from the war zone in Ukraine.
All Aiderbichler cat rooms are designed and furnished as if it were a living room in a loved one's home. Countless cat baskets, beds and litter trays are available for the velvet paws.

In the country castle of Gut Aiderbichl France, the rescued cats lead a life like - in the truest sense of the word - God in France. It is not wine that is stored in the old cellar of the building, but the Aiderbichl cats live here. Countless cozy cat beds and feeding places signal to the animals: you are at home here, and you should feel at home here. When the weather is nice, you can meet the Schnurretigers on the old, venerable stone steps, surrounded by rose bushes that provide shade and are also good if you want to feel a little undisturbed as a cat.

At Gut Aiderbichl in Romania, we are ambitiously pursuing the goal of proving to the population that the population of stray cats (as well as dogs) can only be brought under control by neutering the animals. We neuter the cats and the owners can then take them home again.

A study that I haven't been able to get out of my head for years shows that, based on a mother cat and all her female offspring that are not neutered, the following happens after around 7 years: around 80,000 cats are born within a cat family that has not been neutered. We all know how many people dispose of many animals immediately after birth. Neutering is an essential birth control measure for dogs and cats.
