Cat saves life of abandoned newborn baby

Published: April 15, 2006

The baby was taken to hospital at 5 a.m. on Thursday, when overnight temperature fell towards zero, and had suffered only mild hypothermia.

A cat saved the life of a newborn baby abandoned on the doorstep of a Cologne house in the middle of the night by meowing loudly until someone woke up, a police spokesman said on Saturday.

“The cat is a hero,” Cologne police spokesman Uwe Beier said. “Its loud meowing got the attention of the homeowner and saved the baby from suffering life- threatening hypothermia. The homeowner opened door to see why the cat was making so much noise and discovered the newborn.”

Beier said the boy was taken to hospital at 5 a.m. on Thursday, when overnight temperature fell towards zero, and had suffered only mild hypothermia. He said there was no indication of what happened to the boy’s mother.
