One day four young kittens moved into an apartment in Vienna. The four were not neutered or spayed. So the disaster took its course. And after two years, the cat lover was already living with 47 animals in a small 50 square meter apartment in the middle of the city. It became really narrow. In order to give the cats enough space, the owner slept in the bathtub in winter and on the balcony in summer. But despite his efforts, the animals lacked hygiene and veterinary care. The mobile outreach team of the Volkshilfe project "A G'spia für's Tier" became aware of the case and asked Gut Aiderbichl for help. The animal rescuers acted immediately, and drove to Vienna. The man's love of cats was great, in this case unfortunately too great. The man suffers from a mental illness known as "Animal Hoarding". The animal rescuers from Gut Aiderbichl brought the cats to Gut Aiderbichl Maria Schmolln. The animals are extremely shy and highly traumatized.
