Anton

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Anton, a small black and white male EKH cat, is looking for a home. He was found with his brothers Pünktchen and Oskar in a dilapidated garage and was given to our association. Unfortunately, their mother has not been found. Anton has quickly warmed up after initial uncertainty and now purrs and cuddles on his caregiver's arm. He would like to move into a new home with at least one of his brothers. Our kittens must be spayed or neutered at 6 months of age. This must be proven to the association with a spay/neuter certificate. Both apartment living and later absolutely traffic-calmed outdoor access are possible. A family with larger, cat-experienced children would be nice, but a quiet two-person household would also be fine, as long as he can bring his brother/s with him. Contact: If you would like to get to know Anton, please contact Mrs. Normann at 02247/8460.

kleiner Kater sucht Zuhause Status: offen Name: Anton Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: männlich Farbe: schwarz weiß Geboren: 01.07.2026 Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Anton und seine Brüder Pünktchen und Oskar wurden in einer verfallenen Garage gefunden und unserem Verein übergeben. Leider ist ihre Mutter nicht mehr aufgetaucht…. Anton ist nach anfänglicher Unsicherheit schnell aufgetaut und schnurrt und schmust nun auf dem Arm seiner Dosenöffnerin. Gern würde er mit mindestens einem seiner Brüder ins neue Zuhause ziehen. Unsere Katzenkinder müssen mit dem 6. Lebensmonat kastriert werden. Dies ist dem Verein durch eine Kastrationsbescheinigung nachzuweisen. Wunschzuhause: Sowohl Wohnungshaltung als auch späterer absolut verkehrsberuhigter Freigang sind möglich. Schön wäre eine Familie mit größeren, katzenerfahrenen Kindern, aber auch ein ruhiger Zwei Personen Haushalt wäre fein, Hauptsache, er kann seine/n Brüder/ Bruder mitbringen. Kontakt: Wenn Sie Anton gerne kennen lernen möchten, melden Sie sich gerne bei Frau Normann 02247/ 8460

About Anton

What life with Anton looks like

Anton is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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.
