Amo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Amo, male cat, neutered, born 01/01/2018, indoor housing Due to an illness, Amo's previous owner had to give him up to the animal shelter. Amo is a nice, affectionate cat who seeks contact with people who are not too loud or hectic. He gets along with other cats, but doesn't necessarily need them, so he would also feel comfortable as a single cat in indoor housing. Amo should not have to be alone for too long and wants to be mentally challenged. A cat-proof balcony or similar should be available in his new home. Amo was diagnosed with HCM (a chronic and progressive disease of the heart muscle). He is given corresponding medication, which is currently doing very well. However, regular cardiac ultrasound examinations are important for control in order to adjust the dose of the medication again and again.

Amo, Kater, kastriert, geb. 01.01.2018, Wohnungshaltung Aufgrund einer Erkrankung musste sein Vorbesitzer Amo leider im Tierheim abgeben. Amo ist ein netter, verschmuster Kater, der den Kontakt zu Menschen sucht, die nicht zu laut oder hektisch sind. Mit anderen Katzen verträgt er sich, braucht diese aber nicht unbedingt, sodass er sich auch als Einzelkater in Wohnungshaltung wohl fühlen würde. Amo sollte nicht zu lange alleine sein müssen und möchte geistig gefordert werden. Ein katzensicherer Balkon oder Ähnliches sollte in seinem neuen Zuhause vorhanden sein. Bei Amo wurde eine HCM (chronische und fortschreitende Erkrankung des Herzmuskels) diagnostiziert. Er bekommt entsprechende Medikamente, mit denen es ihm aktuell sehr gut geht. Allerdings sind regelmäßige Herzultraschall-Untersuchungen zur Kontrolle wichtig, um die Dosis der Medikamente immer wieder anzupassen.

About Amo

What life with Amo looks like

Amo is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪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 Amo, answered.

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