Darmstadt’s most famous cat has been missing for a week. The administrators of a Facebook group that has around 5300 members have now started a search.

He is cuddled, petted, photographed and sometimes simply taken home by ignorant people: “City cat Einstein“, Darmstadt’s most famous cat, has blossomed into the city’s most popular animal celebrity in the past few months. Or hangover.

After the three and a half year old Norwegian forest cat, which belongs to a family in the Martinsviertel, had been handed over several times by passers-by in the animal shelter, a group of animal hunters around Jochen Meyer decided to set up their own group on Facebook for the tomcat roaming around the city center.

Meanwhile the Facebook group „Einstein the city cat“ more than 5300 members. But for a week, his fans have been very worried. Because last Saturday, Einstein, who otherwise hangs around cafes and shops in the pedestrian zone and also takes a nap there, was last seen in the city center.

Did the animal, which needs special feed because of gum problems and should not be fed anyway, become a victim of lockdown? Has he possibly been locked in one of the now closed shops, a room, or a backyard? Or did ecstatic passers-by simply take the stray with them – as they did a few weeks ago?

The administrators of the Facebook group now have one Search operation initiated and note with the photo of Einstein Have it attached to shop windows in supermarkets, shops and pharmacies to find the missing cat. “Where and with whom are YOU?” Can be read on the notes. Einstein I am “sorely missed” by everyone.

According to the group administrator Jochen Meyer, the police and the city police have now been informed of the cat’s disappearance. The security service in the Carree and in the Luisencenter also knows.

Hope briefly sprang up late on Friday afternoon when a photo of a cat with brown and white fur near the Ludwigskirche was shared with the group. But she was deceiving, it wasn’t about the famous stray.

So the search continues. Notes can be found on the Facebook site “Einstein the city cat“ or by email at [email protected].
