Cologne: Man gives away cats in the cardboard box - police on!

A strange story caused a sensation in the Cologne S-Bahn. On May 27, 2025, a man wanted to give away a cardboard box with a cat family. There were a cat mom and her four little kittens. Two attentive women noticed the scene and immediately alerted the police, who quickly found the man. The regulatory office finally brought the animals to the Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter, where they are safe.

The man explained his unusual action by the fact that his new partner reacts allergically to cats. "There is something," he obviously thought, and wanted to get rid of the little family members as soon as possible. This decision met with mixed reactions on social media. Some users showed incomprehension for his actions, while others were relieved that the animals were not simply exposed to, such as Wa.de reported.

Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter: Help for the cats

The cat -rich situation not only takes worries, but also hope. In the Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter, many animals are now waiting for a new, loving home. So also the friendly black and white EKH-Kater Milo, who was born on January 5, 2022 and, due to its gentle nature, understands very well with other cats. His wish? A home in which he can enjoy the closeness of his people and cuddle in peace. Milo is met in the shelter, where he is waiting for a new home and chipped, vaccinated, neutered and without special health needs. A secure balcony would be particularly advantageous if his new home is not on the ground floor.

He has already tried a new home, but his reserved manner led him to be brought back in the last trial. We are again in the loving handling of animals: "Have a good hand" is required here. Milo would certainly have a lot of fun with the right family, regardless of whether he would live alone or with others not too dominant. There is still no empirical values ​​for his tolerance with dogs or children, but according to his friendliness, a nice bond could also develop there.

The story of the cardboard box and the cats once again shows us how important it is to put animals in the right hands and how valuable a warm handling is. We hope that all animals will soon find a home in which they are lovingly recorded.
