Infographics

The key figures of each report as a vertical image for sharing, as a PDF for printing on A4 (with a QR code to the report) and as a text version. For the 2026 edition, with 2025 data, there is also a six-slide carousel, the same carousel as a LinkedIn document and a square card for each key finding and for the profile of people who want to adopt. The “Housing and pets”, “Private owners” and “Shelters” pages also have their own card. If you share an infographic, do not crop it: the footer states the scope, the source and the cut-off date.
