Cat lonely exposed to the shelter: Who knows their history?

A current incident causes great sensation in the Erlangen animal shelter and many questions among animal rights activists and the population. On Friday evening, May 23, 2025, a frightened cat was parked in front of the shelter. An employee of the shelter accidentally discovered her when he returned from a field service. The animal shelter describes this sad situation in an emotional post on social media and wonders why the cat was suspended. She imagines how it would be if someone just puts it outside the door without taking care of her needs. According to Infranken Despite its fear, there is a friendly attitude towards people, which gives hope for a positive mediation.

The health of the cat, however, gives rise to concern because a veterinary examination is still pending. The animal shelter appeals to the population to provide information about the origin of the cat because no information was left. Laura Legradi, the spokeswoman for the animal shelter, indicates that such incidents are increasingly occurring and offers affected animal owners the opportunity to contact the shelter directly if they have problems instead of exposing their animals.

several cats in emergency

Not only this one cat causes a start -up pain. Another incident once again started the animal welfare community. In the night of Sunday, three cats were parked in front of the shelter. Animal rights activists on social media are stunned by exposure at low temperatures. According to Nordbayern there is also no information about the cats, which is also complicated. Despite the adverse circumstances, the cats seem to be friendly and in good condition; They are to be presented to a veterinarian in the coming week.

The Erlangen animal shelter sees itself as an open point of contact for animals and humans and tries to help with these fates. Here, too, those responsible ask for information from the population about the exposed animals that can be reported anonymously.

a widespread problem

As can be seen, such incidents are not an isolated case. According to a comprehensive report on RND , over 45 percent of households are now equipped with a pet. The number of pet owners has increased significantly in recent years, especially during corona pandemic. But there are also dark sides: reasons for the submission of animals are often overwhelmed, lack of time or the high costs for veterinary treatments.

experts therefore urgently call for a certificate of expertise for pet owners and speak out against online animal trade to improve the situation. It is recommended to create contact points for short -term help and to introduce animal welfare measures to preserve animals from delivery and enable them to have a better life.

For everyone who wants to live in the Erlangen region and do something good, it is worth supporting the shelter or maybe even offering a new home to one of the four -legged friends.
