Amato

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

The cute tomcat was found in Großeichholzheim on March 29, 2026. We named the estimated early 2025-born found cat Amato. He is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Amato is a lovable, battle-scarred, and very approachable tomcat. The impairment on his right eye doesn't bother him much. A blood test revealed that Amato is FIV positive – he shows no symptoms.

Der hübsche Kater wurde am 29.03.2026 in Großeichholzheim gefunden. Wir haben den geschätzt Anfang 2025 geborenen Fundkater Amato genannt. Er ist kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Amato ist ein liebenswerter, verschmuster und sehr zugänglicher Kater. Die Beeinträchtigung an seinem rechten Auge stört ihn nicht weiter. Beim Bluttest wurde festgestellt, dass Amato FIV positiv ist – er zeigt jedoch keine Symptome.

About Amato

What life with Amato looks like

Amato is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Dallau in Elztal.

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 Amato, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Amato?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Dallau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Amato on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Amato if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dallau 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 Amato 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 Amato 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 Tierheim Dallau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Amato 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.
