Cats suffer silently and in secret. They are particularly hard hit in southern and eastern Europe. Often only those who look closely and feed them know of their fate. Michali owes his life to animal welfare activists who stood up for him and his four friends. They contacted Gut Aiderbichl. Michael Aufhauser agreed and after all the papers were properly issued, the five were brought from Greece to Germany. Michali is now a proud cat who demands to be stroked first thing in the morning.
