Sad story of Grumpy Hubert: Hangover touches hearts!

Hubert the cat is currently causing a stir in Cologne and beyond. The little guy was taken to the hospital in a catastrophic condition Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter brought. Emaciated, neglected and with a body temperature of only 35 degrees, he was a sad sight. Its fur was so matted and matted that it was difficult to tell which animal it was. Apparently Hubert had not received any care or love for a long time. Nevertheless, he shows remarkable resilience: despite his misery, he is affectionate and happy in the animal shelter. The staff at the animal shelter are very enthusiastic about him and describe Hubert as “sweeter than chocolate”. This despite the fact that his nickname on social media is “Grumpy Hubert”.

The cat's situation touched the Instagram community. Many users send loving messages and express their condolences. The animal shelter team continues to hope that Hubert's blood work does not show any serious illnesses and that he will get well again soon. He is currently being lovingly cared for in the animal shelter, receiving medical care and receiving the attention that he has been missing all this time. After his recovery, Hubert will be rehomed and a “best home in the world” will be sought for him.

Animal protection with heart

The Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter has been supporting animals in need since 1968. “A home for all furs” is not just a slogan, but a living philosophy. Under the sponsor, the “Association against Abuse of Animals”, the employees are not only responsible for the medical care of the animals, but also for their loving care. With a total of 23 employees and a capacity of over 500 animals, they can accommodate a large number of animals. Particularly noteworthy is the animal shelter's own veterinary practice, which enables it to optimally care for the newly admitted protégés.

The Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter has excellent facilities, including 4 dog houses and 2 cat houses, where the animals can live a comfortable life. If possible, small animals are even allowed to live in outdoor enclosures, which significantly improves their quality of life. It is clear that the welfare of the animals comes first here.

Together for animal protection

Hubert's case reminds us how important animal protection organizations are. There are numerous organizations in Germany that are committed to the welfare of animals. The German Animal Welfare Association is one of the oldest and largest organizations that was founded in 1881 and advocates for a species-appropriate life for all animals. The work of these and other organizations contributes to promoting awareness of animal protection and raising awareness of grievances in animal husbandry.

Hubert has won hearts through his sad fate, and we can only hope that a loving home can soon be found for him. Most people in Cologne show that they care about the welfare of the animals and that together we can achieve a lot.
