Volunteers Plan Targeted Traps After Missing Utrecht Blast Cats Confirmed Alive

A reduced team will work quietly with thermal cameras to avoid spooking traumatized pets.

Overview

  • Volunteer group Zoekteam Midden Nederland reports Cara, Doerak, and Kerel are alive following last week’s explosion in Utrecht.
  • Kerel was identified in an alley near the Springweg by a scent-trained dog using his harness, with the owner confirming the identification.
  • Kerel has burn injuries on his back and tail, and volunteers aim to get him to a veterinarian once captured.
  • A fresh search using a dog, tuna-baited live-capture cages, and thermal imaging has not yet led to a successful capture, with the outcome still pending.
  • After a previous attempt faltered due to onlookers, tonight’s plan uses a small, distant team to monitor cages near the cordoned Visscherssteeg.
