Dresden family desperate: Where is Pina the cat after a thunderstorm?

Dresden family desperate: Where is Pina the cat after a thunderstorm?

There are currently sad faces in the heart of Dresden. Little Sia (7) is desperately looking for her cat Pina, who has been missing since Monday. The one-year-old tomcat has black fur with a slightly gray bib and is neutered. The family is worried because it is feared that Pina may have jumped from the balcony after a violent thunderstorm hit the north of Dresden. There is also the possibility that he was hit by someone or injured. The neighborhood has been hunting for the missing cat early in the morning, but so far without success. 

Little Sia has therefore offered a finder's fee of 150 euros. But that's not all: She has also promised free coffee in the “Glockenspiel” café in the Dresden Zwinger for the finder or for someone who can give a crucial clue. Tips can be sent to TAG24 with the subject “Cat Search Pina”. Help is urgently requested to bring the cat back home. As in many similar cases, broad community support is needed here.

More missing cats from the region

Pina's missing person report joins a worrying series of missing cats in Saxony. Among others, the cat Luna, who ran away in Rosenheim on June 21st, and the tomcat Loki, who has been missing from Nauen since June 13th, are actively searching. Numerous other cats have been reported missing in the region, so the platform for reporting missing animals continues to document new cases. The list of tomcats and cats that are still missing is getting longer and makes it clear how important it is to pay attention to the animals and report information.

How cats find their way home

Cats in particular are known for hiding in frightening situations. A helpful method for bringing back missing cats is the so-called “home drag”. This technique works by placing familiar scent trails in the area to guide the cat to its home. Cats have an impressive ability to detect smells and, if the right trails are laid out, can find their way back. The tow home should cover approximately 1 kilometer and include various routes. Used cat litter, clothing from household members or even the urine of a family member can be used. The more familiar smells there are nearby, the higher the chance that the cat will return home.

In Pina's case, the hope remains that the cat will return unharmed and someone will come forward to show him the way home. We wish little Sia and her family good luck in their search and hope that the sweet cat will soon be safely back in her home.

In addition to Pina's appeal, community support is urgently needed to bring home more animals missing in the region. Together we can do it!
