It was like Christmas
Puma and Da Vinci got a visit from their sick previous owner
For many years, an animal-loving lady has been confined to a wheelchair. Her health deteriorated visibly and her only ray of hope seemed to be the cats Puma and Da Vinci, who have found a new forever home in Maria Schmolln, an outlying estate of Gut Aiderbichl, for several months now.
The added catastrophe to the lady's illness was that she is dependent on 24-hour care due to her health, and the sick lady's caregivers have demanded a "cat-free" household.
With tears in the eyes the two darlings were handed over to Gut Aiderbichl
The employees of Gut Aiderbichl are good at dealing with the joys and sorrows of people and their animals. Sometimes, however, even the animal keepers are in tears, because this separation was a real hardship.
The two cats are 15 and 16 years old and are also strongly connected with the former owner. It is difficult to be objective here - the cats had to go, otherwise the sick lady would have been alone and without a carer.
When you think you can't do it anymore...
Puma and Da Vinci have settled in wonderfully in Maria Schmolln. Puma's favorite place is the kitchen and Da Vinci, the red tabby tomcat, still stands above things.
Then the two were amazed when one day they recognized the voice of their previous owner. She had managed to be brought to Maria Schmolln to visit her darlings.
Poof - Puma immediately jumped on her lap and started purring loudly. Da Vinci also immediately came running and was happy and ran excitedly around the lady's wheelchair. It was hard to tell whose eyes were shining more: the lady's or the cats'? A loud purring could be heard - it was a bit like Christmas.
The lady knew that she could visit her pets at any time and so it was finally successful. What could be more beautiful than animals that never forget us?
When we help animals, we also help people
In this case, there was a happy ending - that's how it should be. The sick lady knows that the door to her darlings Da Vinci and Puma is always open. She has now also seen that her two cats will never forget her and are happy when she comes to visit. A nice happy ending in this strange time.
Sometimes all you want infinitely is to be okay again...
