Katte på flugt fra Ukraine
Mixed Breed · Female
Since the war in Ukraine broke out almost a year ago, millions of Ukrainians have fled. Most have left with nothing but what they could carry. But for a Ukrainian woman who fled to Denmark, the situation is different. During the invasion, she owned two female cats, which she refused to leave behind in the war-torn country. Therefore, she took them with her when fleeing from Ukraine to Denmark. This is told by the international manager at Kattens Værn in Brøndby, Rikke Snedled. - She fled and took her two female cats with her. She didn't want to leave them behind, and afterwards, they became pregnant and gave birth to nine kittens in total. Kattens Værn made an exception. A woman therefore helped the owner contact Kattens Værn to see if they could help. Normally, Kattens Værn charges to take in cats, as they must go through a routine veterinary check-up, which includes sterilization and vaccination. In this extraordinary situation, however, they chose to make an exception because the woman, who fled with the female cats, had no money to hand over the kittens to the animal shelter. - I didn't doubt that we should help. I discussed it with my director, but we agreed that of course we would. Furthermore, the kittens face an uncertain fate if we don't help them, says Rikke Snedled. However, Kattens Værn has taken into account foreign diseases, such as rabies, which can infect other cats in Denmark. Worried about the kittens' fate. The Ukrainian woman was very affected by the whole situation, because she didn't know what would happen to the kittens. She was afraid that they would be euthanized. This was due to a difficult language barrier, as the woman doesn't speak Danish or English. - She was nervous about whether they would be euthanized, but we told her they certainly wouldn't. They will be placed in new homes, and this made her very happy, explains Rikke Snedled. The priority gave pote. Kattens Værn has shared the happy story on Facebook, where there has been a flood of positive responses. Many have reacted with hearts on the post. Rikke Snedled adds that no one has raised any critical questions about the decision to accept the kittens without payment. She concludes by telling that the kittens have not suffered from the chaotic start of their lives. - I don't know if the female cats were affected by the flight, but it hasn't left its mark on the kittens. They are incredibly cute kittens, and they have received a lot of care and love. The Ukrainian woman still owns the two adult female cats, which have now been spayed, while the nine kittens at Kattens Værn in Brøndby are ready to be matched with new homes.

Siden krigen i Ukraine brød ud for næsten et år siden, er mange millioner ukrainere flygtet. De fleste er flygtet fra stort alt, hvad de ejer. Men for en ukrainsk kvinde, der flygtede til Danmark, er situationen en anden. Ved invasionen ejede hun to hunkatte, som hun nægtede at efterlade i det krigsramte land. Hun tog dem derfor med på flugt fra Ukraine til Danmark. Det fortæller internatleder på Kattens Værn i Brøndby, Rikke Snedled. – Hun er flygtet og har taget sine to hunkatte med. Hun har ikke nænnet at lade dem blive, og efterfølgende er de så blevet drægtige og har født ni killinger i alt. Kattens Værn gjorde en undtagelse En kvinde hjalp derfor ejeren med at kontakte Kattens Værn for at høre, om de kunne hjælpe. Normalt tager Kattens Værn penge for at tage imod katte, da de skal igennem et rutinemæssigt dyrlægetjek, som bl.a. sørger for neutralisering og vaccination. I den ekstraordinære situation valgte man dog at gøre en undtagelse, da kvinden, der var flygtet med hunkattene, ingen midler havde til at få indleveret killingerne på internat. – Jeg var ikke i tvivl om, vi skulle hjælpe. Jeg vendte det med min direktør, men vi var enige om, at selvfølgelig gør vi det. Desuden står killingerne står overfor en uvis skæbne, hvis ikke vi hjælper dem, fortæller Rikke Snedled. Dog har Kattens Værn taget højde for udenlandske sygdomme, som rabies, der kan smitte andre katte i Danmark. Frygtede for killingernes skæbne Den ukrainske kvinde var meget påvirket af hele situationen, fordi hun ikke vidste, hvad der skulle ske med killingerne. Hun var bange for, at de ville blive aflivet. Det skyldtes en svær sprogbarriere, da kvinden hverken taler dansk eller engelsk. – Hun var nervøs for, om de skulle aflives, men vi fortalte hende, at det skulle de selvfølgelig ikke. De skal ud til nye hjem, og det blev hun meget glad for, forklarer Rikke Snedled. Prioriteringen gav pote Kattens Værn har delt den lykkelige historie på Facebook, hvor det er strømmet ind med positiv respons. Mange har reageret med hjerter på opslaget. Rikke Snedled tilføjer, at ingen har stillet sig kritiske overfor beslutningen om at tage imod killingerne uden betaling. Hun afslutter med at fortælle, at killingerne ikke har lidt overlast trods den kaotiske start på livet. – Jeg ved ikke, om hunkattene har været påvirkede af flugten, men det har ikke sat sit præg på killingerne. Det er utrolig søde killinger, og de har fået masser af omsorg og kærlighed. Den ukrainske kvinde ejer stadig de to voksne hunkatte, som nu er blevet steriliseret, mens de ni killinger på Kattens Værn i Brøndby er klar til at blive formidlet til nye hjem.
