Alfred

Male · Kitten · 5 months

Alfred came to us as a found kitten and was in very poor condition and severely underdeveloped. While Alfred is much better now, he is still underdeveloped and will need more time to fully recover. The little tomcat was initially rather shy and would hide, but once he gained some trust, he became very cuddly and clingy. Alfred gets along well with other animals and would either like to move out with Alfons or join an existing kitten of a similar age (max. 1 year). For Alfred, we can envision both apartment living and a free-range lifestyle. This cat needs outdoor access.

Alfred kam als Fundkatze zu uns. Er war in einem sehr schlechten Zustand und sehr unterentwickelt.Inzwischen geht es Alfred schon viel besser, aber er ist nach wie vor unterentwickelt und wird noch länger brauchen, bis er sich vollständig erholt.Der kleine Kater ist anfangs etwas schüchtern und versteckt sich, sobald er aber Vertrauen gefasst hat, ist er sehr verschmust und anhänglich. Mit Artgenossen kommt Alfred gut zurecht und er möchte entweder mit Alfons ausziehen oder zu einer vorhandenen Katze in ähnlichem Alter (max. 1 Jahr). Für Alfred können wir uns sowohl Wohnungshaltung als auch Freigang vorstellen. Bei der Wohnungshaltung ist ein katzensicherer Balkon oder ähnliches Voraussetzung für eine

About Alfred

What life with Alfred looks like

Alfred 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 Alfred, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alfred?
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 Alfred on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alfred 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 Alfred 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 Alfred 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 Alfred 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.
