• The Bochum facility appealed for financial aid along with hygiene cat litter and high‑meat wet food to cope with the sudden influx.
• In Duisburg, a man turned away because the shelter was full abandoned his cat nearby in an open bag; the shivering animal was found under a car and has been named Lucky Luke.
• Aachen reported a Labrador tied to its fence and another released after a bite report, and detailed a case in which a mother cat’s litter arrived very ill and two kittens died.
• Elsewhere, Feucht sought kitten formula and specific baby‑food jars, Hilden paused puppy‑food donations after a rapid surge of deliveries, and Moers reunited a chipped cat missing since February.
