Submit action animal welcomes research issues such as competence in the handling of found and abandoned animals, the whole of Germany concerning street cat problem and the identification and mandatory castration of cats with private outdoor gear from the political side of to be addressed. "action animal has already in 2002 the street cats kitty-aid project launched, which provides more than 8 so-called kitty-forums Germany's most comprehensive assistance for feral cats," Ursula Bauer, director explained by action animal.
kitty About the Project are castrated each year nearly 4,000 street cats, hundreds of other cats medically supplied and supervised thousands of cats fixed feeding sites. But feeding and neutering is not enough, the street cat problem in the long run to get a grip. Therefore, animal action has reinforced efforts to ensure that the first city in Paderborn in Germany, a regulation was adopted, which requires the castration and private labeling of cats with clearance by the authorities. The so-called Paderborn model has been introduced in other cities such as Delmenhorst, Gütersloh, Bad Dürrenberg, frets and Forst (Lausitz).

"As part of our street cats kitty project we have collected for years and figures to the populations we serve in a total of 8 major regions of Germany, the results from the year 2009, we now publish for the first time to this extent," the biologist continued.
The animal of action raised, provable facts and the resulting derived stock estimates, especially for 3 exemplary settlements (Berlin as a city, Paderborn as the center city, north of Hesse as a rural area) give a good idea, at least in local stock situations.

Values that are transferable to similarly structured cities. In contrast to live according to the calculations of action animal in the rural area with low population density such as in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder-Kreis much more, namely 1.5 to 2.5 per 100 inhabitants street cats.
The street cat problem is a Germany-wide problem, which will finally be addressed collectively and comprehensively should. "Now that animal protection societies, and especially action have t years given with a high human and financial means of using street cats now would be a uniform national system for dealing with street cats, and a nation-wide regulation of castration and mandatory labeling of private cats politically necessary, promising steps to the sustainable reduction of road cat problem, "said Ursula Bauer of animal action concludes.
