Animal protection in focus
Animal protection is a serious issue in Germany. It is estimated that around 32 million pets live here, including 13.4 million cats and 8.6 million dogs.

Around 1,400 animal shelters offer protection for animals that have often been neglected or forgotten reported.

Abandoning animals: criminal conduct
The Penny parking lot cat incident is an alarming reminder that animal abandonment is a serious problem. Although it is punishable under the Animal Welfare Act, it often happens that people simply abandon animals for various reasons. The penalties are clear: Anyone who abandons animals must expect fines of up to 25,000 euros, and in serious cases they can also face prison if the life of an animal is in danger reported.
The animal shelter in Salzgitter is hoping for help from the public to not only clarify the story of the abandoned cat, but also to raise awareness of the large number of animals in need. It is important to him that people treat their pets responsibly and, in the event of a surrender or adoption, go through official bodies such as the animal shelter and the local animal protection association.
