Bacardi

Mixed Breed · Male

Bacardi is a young tomcat who could potentially be rehomed quite quickly. He is incredibly cuddly, people-oriented, and always in a good mood. Unfortunately, the enchanting little kitten is developing into a “somewhat challenging case”… Bacardi is unfortunately incredibly boundary-less. We suspect that he was separated from his mother and littermates too early and has had no chance to learn appropriate social behavior. This is truly sad and shows us once again how incredibly important regular contact with other animals is, especially for kittens. Sadly, all of our most sovereign and compatible cats have given up on Bacardi. He pushes them ALL to their limits! For Bacardi, this is incredibly sad because he so desperately seeks contact with the other cats and only wants to play and frolic all day. Most of the time, however, he has to stay alone in the room, as the other cats are unfortunately extremely stressed by him. Fortunately, Bacardi is very happy to have the company of playful people who can cuddle and chat with him almost as much as he wants his furry friends. Unfortunately, he also behaves rather “roughly” here and can already jump with extended claws directly onto the head of his human playmates. Never out of malice, but always “a bit too much”… We are looking for “educators” for Bacardi who can gently but lovingly put the little guy in his place, give him a cat-appropriate workload, and spend a lot of time and affection with him without letting everything slide. This little raw diamond can definitely still be polished and turned into a magical tomcat. Thanks to his lovable nature, there is definitely a lot of potential. We are looking for a home for Bacardi with a free run in a quiet location. There should be no other cats, but there should be the willingness to pamper the little guy accordingly. If there are children in the household, they should be older and cat-savvy. Bacardi is not an ideal cat for beginners! If one meets his past misprisoning with understanding and loving consequence, he will definitely become a fine gentleman. Who will take him in and explain the world to him?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Bacardi ist ein Katerchen, das eigentlich ganz schnell vermittelt werden könnte. Er ist unfassbar verschmust, menschenbezogen und immer gut gelaunt. Leider entwickelt das zauberhafte Jungkaterchen sich mehr und mehr zu einem „etwas schwierigen Fall“… Bacardi ist leider grandios distanzlos. Wir vermuten, dass er viel zu früh von der Mutter und Wurfgeschwistern getrennt wurde und bisher keine Chance hatte ein adäquates Sozialverhalten zu erlernen. Das ist wirklich sehr traurig und zeigt uns einmal mehr wie unsagbar wichtig, grade für Jungkatzen, der regelmäßige Kontakt zu Artgenossen ist. Leider haben bisher all unsere wirklich souveränen und verträglichsten Katzen bei Bacardi die weiße Fahne geschwungen. Er bringt sie ALLE an ihre Grenzen! Für Bacardi ist das unsagbar traurig, denn er sucht so sehr Kontakt zu den anderen Katzen und möchten den ganzen Tag nur Raufen und Toben. Die meiste Zeit des Tages muss er aber alleine im Zimmer bleiben, da die anderen Katzen leider wirklich extrem gestresst von ihm sind. Glücklicherweise freut Bacardi sich über die Gesellschaft von lustigen Menschen die mit ihm schmusen und Quatsch machen fast genauso wie über seine pelzigen Freunde. Leider verhält er sich aber auch hier ziemlich „grobmotorisch“ und springt schonmal mit ausgefahrenen Krallen direkt auf den Kopf seiner menschlichen Spielpartner. Nie böse, aber immer „eine Spur drüber“… Wir suchen für Bacardi im wahrsten Sinne „Erziehungsberechtigte“ die den kleinen Kerl liebevoll auch mal in seine Schranken weisen, ihn katzengerecht auslasten und sich ganz viel und ganz liebevoll mit ihm beschäftigen ohne ihm aber alles durchgehen zu lassen. Ganz bestimmt kann auch dieser kleine Rohdiamant noch geschliffen und zu einem zauberhaften Kater werden. Durch sein liebenswertes Wesen ist da definitiv ganz viel Potenzial. Wir suchen für Bacardi ein Zuhause mit Freigang in verkehrsberuhigter Lage. Weitere Katzen sollten eher nicht vorhanden sein, dafür aber die Bereitschaft das kleine Kerlchen entsprechend zu bespaßen. Leben Kinder im Haushalt sollten diese schon älter und katzenerfahren sein. Bacardi ist trotz seines Charmes keine Anfängerkatze! Begegnet man seiner bisherigen Fehlprägung aber mit Verständnis und liebevoller Konsequenz wird er garantiert ein ganz feiner Kerl. Wer nimmt ihn an sein Pfötchen und erklärt ihm die Welt?

About Bacardi

What life with Bacardi looks like

Bacardi is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Drakenburg in Drakenburg.

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 Bacardi, answered.

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