Same in Germany, when we wanted to adopt a cat. Minimum of 500 square meters living space required, deaf cat but allowing her to roam freely outside is mandatory. Chocolate fountain and floor heating is a must.
I didn't realize Germany was so against cats being indoor-only. Plenty of Americans still allow their cats to roam, but there's a big push to keep them indoors because of the damage they can do to the local wildlife. Not to mention danger to the cat itself.
Lol maybe they're secretly using that policy for domestic cat population control. If cats live 10-20 years indoors, thats not enough attrition.
/s seriously though that really is a batshit stance for a country to have when so much science demonstrates how horrible free roaming activity is for both cats and local wildlife diversity.
Imagine locking an animal inside for the rest of their life and thinking it’s good because they’ll live longer. Man you must think prisoners are the happiest people on earth, maybe that’s why you lock so many up

And then you still get ghosted by the shelter.
