Overview

• Tierheim Moers used a microchip to identify a found cat as Franz, missing since February 2025 and discovered about four kilometers from home, allowing a reunion with his owner.
• Tierheim Aachen reported a mother cat with five severely ill kittens, two of which did not survive, while the mother and three treated kittens were later rehomed.
• The Katzenschutzbund Düsseldorf is seeking adopters for two year‑old cats, Fiete and Nils, whose eyes were irreparably damaged by feline illness after their owner failed to collect them from a clinic.
• Tierheim Bochum condemned the dumping of a cat in a transport box and said the unchipped animal arrived with no medical or behavioral history, complicating care.
• Animal-welfare groups highlight prevention, with Tierheim Aachen backing the Katzenkastration 2025 campaign and the Tierschutzverein Augsburg listing multiple cats, including special‑needs animals, for adoption.
