Freiburg (dpa / lsw) - After finding an abandoned cat in Freiburg, the police are investigating suspected animal cruelty. The disturbed cat was locked in a heavily soiled small animal cage, the police said on Monday.
A passer-by spotted the animal in a shopping center parking lot on Friday and took it away. The find was more of a coincidence, since the cage was behind empty containers. According to the information, an animal rights activist took care of the animal. He received veterinary treatment and was placed at the shelter.
The trade/environmental service at the police headquarters in Freiburg is looking for witnesses who can give information about the case.
