Introduction

In the last month I improved the mapping of about 100 german animal shelters - not only out of the goodness of my heart, but because it helped me.

Let me explain why: I develop notfellchen.org, where users can search animals in animal shelters, specifically rats, they might want to adopt. The idea is to have a central website that allows you to search for rats in your area.

This is necessary because only a small percentage of animal shelters has rats. As a user, just checking your next shelter doesn’t work. Some users will stop after checking the second or third one and just buy from a pet shop (which is a very, very bad idea).
