Incredible: Cat in a cardboard box on Penny car park in Salzgitter!

On Thursday, June 26th, customers made a terrifying discovery in the parking lot of a Penny market in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt. A box that was parked there turned out to be an unwanted home for a dark gray cat. This cruel deed of a dropout made the employees of the Tierheims Salzgitter stunned.

The story of this cat is particularly tragic because it does not wear a microchip. This suggests that it remains unclear where it comes from or who it may have belonged. The animal shelter calls the public to report information on the animal. The volunteers and employees are trying to find the cat a new home.

animal shelter as an important contact point

The Animal shelter in Salzgitter acts as a central point of contact for animal welfare issues in the region. Both animals can be adopted and personal animals can be handed over here. The focus is often on the many sweet kittens and loyal dogs who are looking for a new home. The local community has the opportunity to actively contribute, be it through adoption or voluntary support.

The Animal Welfare Association of Lower Saxony also offers valuable information and support in the search for a new friend on four paws. Interested parties can contact the animal protection association directly to find out more about available animals. The Veterinary Office Salzgitter is also available for questions, and there are numerous veterinarians in the area for the medical care of the animals.

animal protection in Germany: a serious problem

The exposure of animals is not only a cruel action, but also illegally in Germany. According to the Animal Welfare Act, fines are at risk of up to 25,000 euros and, in serious cases, even prison terms of up to three years if the animal's well -being is endangered. These legal measures are important because around 32 million pets live in Germany, including 13.4 million domestic cats and 8.6 million dogs, such as Terra Mater

The overcrowding of the animal shelters is a serious problem that is reinforced by unwanted pets and inadequate education about animal husbandry. There are around 1,400 animal shelters nationwide that absorb and supply around 400,000 animals annually. A large part of these animals, about ¾, can be brokered or released, while ¼ of the animals remain permanently in the homes and must continue to be looked after.

It is essential to increase the awareness of animal welfare and promote adoptions to meet these challenges. In Salzgitter, the shelter remains a place of hope for desperate animals and committed animal lovers.
