Again, Abandoned Cats Rescued from Spielbergalm

The animal welfare organization Pfotenhilfe rescued two more abandoned cats from the deeply snow-covered Spielbergalm in Gaißau (Hallein district) on December 3rd. Already on Saturday, two tomcats had been recovered there in a complex operation. This means that four animals are now in the care of the organization.

Another Cat Rescue After Further Sighting

On Monday, ski tourers reported two more cats in the alpine area. Following criticism and threats due to the previous rescue operation, Pfotenhilfe director Johanna Stadler contacted the district administration of Hallein. On Tuesday, a written official order for the renewed rescue was issued.

On Wednesday, Stadler and her husband ascended to the Spielbergalm again – this time with the support of their dog Campari. The two cats, a female and a tomcat, were secured. According to Pfotenhilfe, they were starving but in good condition.

Appeal to Hikers and Alpine Operators

Stadler appealed to hikers to report sightings of abandoned animals immediately. Alpine hut operators should also contact the animal welfare organization or the veterinary authority in good time before the end of the season. According to feedback on social networks, it is more common for rabbits or guinea pigs to be left behind on alpine pastures.

The four rescued animals are now named Molly, Flocke, Frosty, and Snowy. They are currently being cared for, vaccinated, chipped, and neutered. After the one-month legal period, they will be ready for adoption.
