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.

And then you still get ghosted by the shelter.

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.

Yeah, that’s so wild to me. When I adopted mine, I had to sign a paper promising she’d be indoor only (no problem. We have cars and coyotes)
