Stray tomcat: body was littered with pests and bite marks
The Canadian
stray
apparently knew that he would get support from humans.
Very similar to a recent cat that went to a hospital shortly before giving birth (* FR reported).
Because it was so cold outside in Québec that the cat
already had frostbite on his body,
according to
thedodo.com
.
The woman who found him happened to be volunteering for the
cat rescue organization
Un Chat à la Fois.
So she got the idea
to send
a photo of the poor
cat
to
the founder of the organization, Marie Simard
, with the request to help her.
Marie Simard was shocked by the
cat's
condition
.
"It broke my heart," she told
thedodo.com
.
Then the orange
cat was taken
to a
veterinary clinic
.
The vets quickly realized that the help for the
cat came
just in time.
The animal was covered with fleas and ticks as well as bite marks.

Cat "Aslan": foster mother wants to keep him forever
In addition, many of the cat's teeth were rotten and he had
suffered
frostbite
.
Many stray
cats
have similar problems, but not all are as lucky as "Aslan" - that's what the vets called him, based on the film "The Chronicles of Narnia".
After the treatments, the cat “Aslan” came to a foster mother who, however, wanted to keep him forever.
There are also numerous stray cats * in Germany.
The German Animal Welfare Association estimates their number at two million.
Some communities neuter
cats
to prevent them from spreading.
