Because more and more older cats were being handed in, the Tierschutzverein für Tirol set up a retirement home for cats at the beginning of the year. They can spend their twilight years there in a homely atmosphere. And they enjoy visits from their "sponsors", who support them financially.

Attention seniors, open the door slowly!" is written at the entrance to the new ward at the Mentlberg animal shelter. The wild animals have moved into the wild animal house, and "tomcats" and co. have moved in.
