Anton

British Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Breed: British Shorthair Mix Gender: Male Date of Birth: Approximately 2021–2023 Color: Gray-tabby The tomcat was brought to the animal shelter as a stray from a garden in Eppingen on June 13, 2026. Anton is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years old. At first, he appears somewhat shy around people, but he warms up after a short time. The friendly cat was placed in a foster home for four weeks, but then returned to the shelter because the resident cat had become increasingly withdrawn since Anton’s arrival. He gets along well with the two dogs living in the household. At the shelter, Anton shares his room with other cats. He accepts them without any problems, but doesn’t actively seek their company. We are looking for a home for him that offers the possibility of outdoor access.

Rasse: Britisch Kurzhaar Mix Geschlecht: männlich Geburtsdatum: ca. 2021 – 2023 Farbe: grau-getigertDer Kater kam als Streuner aus einem Garten in Eppingen am 13.06.2026 ins Tierheim. Anton wird zwischen 3 und 5 Jahre geschätzt. Anfangs zeigt er sich bei Menschen etwas schüchtern, taut aber nach kurzer Zeit auf. Der nette Kater war für vier Wochen vermittelt, kam dann aber wieder zurück, da die bereits vorhandene Katze nach seinem Einzug sich immer weiter zurückgezogen hat. Mit den beiden im Haushalt lebenden Hunden hat das Zusammenleben gut geklappt. Im Tierheim teilt sich Anton sein Zimmer mit anderen Katzen. Er akzeptiert sie problemlos, sucht aber nicht aktiv ihre Gesellschaft. Für ihn wird ein Zuhause mit der Möglichkeit auf Freigang gesucht.

About Anton

What life with Anton looks like

Anton is a puppy/kitten british shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

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 Anton, answered.

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