How do I contact the shelter about Baldo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Baldo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Baldo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart 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 Baldo 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 Baldo 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 Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Baldo 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.

Baldo

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

over: 🍀 FIV positive I am the cute Baldo. I've always snuck into people's houses and didn't want to leave. Unfortunately, they didn't want to keep me. Also, my search for my owners was unsuccessful. So, I came to the animal shelter. Unfortunately, I was unneutered and had typical fight wounds and a pus-filled bite wound on my cheek. That always sets off the alarm bell with the caretakers. They immediately took me to the vet. Unfortunately, it turned out that I have FIV. That's the so-called cat AIDS. Don't worry, it's only contagious to other cats. It's not dangerous for you humans or dogs. That's why I urgently need a family with a secure outdoor area. I'm used to being let out and don't feel comfortable being confined. In the animal shelter, I scream a lot and very loudly. But that will surely get better if I have a garden I can make my own. I'm a super affectionate tomcat, I enjoy being stroked and look forward to contact with you humans. With bigger children who know how to handle cats, I would like to share my home. If you already have an FIV positive cat and are looking for a soft paw, then feel free to get in touch. Please write a mail and tell me a bit about yourselves! Your Baldo.

FIV positiv Ich bin der hübsche Baldo. Ich habe mich immer wieder bei Leuten ins Haus geschlichen und wollte nicht mehr gehen. Leider wollten die mich nicht behalten. Auch eine Suche nach meinen Besitzern blieb erfolglos. Somit kam ich ins Tierheim. Leider war ich unkastriert und hatte auch typische Kampfspuren und eine vereiterte Bissverletzung an der Backe. Da geht schon immer die Alarmglocke bei den Pflegern los. Die ließen mich gleich vom Tierarzt untersuchen. Leider stellte sich heraus, ich habe FiV. Das ist das sogenannte Katzen Aids. Keine Angst, das ist nur für andere Katzen ansteckend. Für euch Menschen oder Hunde ist es nicht gefährlich. Deshalb suche ich dringend eine Familie, die einen ausbruchsicheren Garten hat. Ich bin Freilauf gewohnt und fühle mich eingesperrt gar nicht wohl. Im Tierheim schreie ich sehr viel und laut. Das wird aber sicher besser, wenn ich einen Garten habe, den ich unsicher machen kann. Ich bin ein super anhänglicher Kater, ich genieße es gestreichelt zu werden und suche Kontakt zu euch Menschen. Mit größeren Kindern, die wissen wie man mit Katzen umgeht , würde ich mein Zuhause gerne teilen. Wenn ihr schon eine FiV positive Katze habt und noch eine Samtpfote sucht, dann meldet euch gerne. Schreibt bitte eine Mail an und erzählt darin am besten schonmal etwas über Euch! Euer Baldo.🐾❤️

About Baldo

What life with Baldo looks like

Baldo is a medium-sized young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive (feline immunodeficiency virus) - requires secure outdoor access, cannot be with FIV negative cats unless they are also FIV positive

🇩🇪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.
