Alfons

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Alfons came to us as a found kitten. The little tomcat is still a bit shy and overwhelmed by all the new impressions, so he hides a lot. However, he loves to snuggle and is clearly happy when he gets attention. Due to his age, Alfons can only be rehomed with another cat or to an existing cat of a similar age. Alfons would like to become an outdoor cat later.

Alfons kam als Fundkatze zu uns. Der kleine Kater ist noch etwas schüchtern und überfordert mit den vielen neuen Eindrücken, dadurch versteckt er sich viel. Er liebt es aber zu kuscheln und ist sichtlich glücklich, wenn er Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Aufgrund seines Alters wird Alfons nur mit einer weiteren Katze oder zu einer vorhandenen Katze in ähnlichem Alter vermittelt. Alfons möchte später Freigänger werden.

About Alfons

What life with Alfons looks like

Alfons is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alfons, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alfons?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alfons on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alfons if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Alfons already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alfons isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alfons and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
