Black Jack

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Blackjack, born around June 2025, is a young tomcat who loves two things above all else: playing and cuddling. 🐾 He has a lot of energy and curiosity for his age. He wants to discover his surroundings, be occupied, and of course play a lot. But he also values quiet moments, as Blackjack shows himself to be a very affectionate and people-oriented cat with us. He is looking for a home with outdoor access. If you are looking for a young, active and at the same time affectionate feline companion, Blackjack could be the perfect companion for you. After his extensive play sessions, he would love to have a cozy cuddle session. ❤️ Now Blackjack is just missing the right home where he can arrive, build trust, and enjoy his life as a young tomcat. If you would like to get to know Blackjack, please contact us. If you would like to get to know him, click on the "Request cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way we will receive all the relevant information for an initial conversation in advance.

Blackjack, geboren etwa im Juni 2025, ist ein junger Kater, der zwei Dinge ganz besonders liebt: spielen und schmusen. 🐾 Seinem Alter entsprechend steckt in ihm jede Menge Energie und Neugier. Er möchte seine Umgebung entdecken, beschäftigt werden und natürlich ausgiebig spielen. Genauso wichtig sind ihm aber die ruhigen Momente, denn Blackjack zeigt sich bei uns als sehr verschmuster und menschenbezogener Kater. Er sucht ein Zuhause mit Freigang. Wer einen jungen, aktiven und gleichzeitig anhänglichen Katzenkumpel sucht, könnte in Blackjack genau den richtigen Begleiter finden. Nach seinen ausgiebigen Spieleinheiten darf es für ihn gerne auch eine gemütliche Kuschelrunde geben. ❤️ Nun fehlt Blackjack nur noch das passende Zuhause, in dem er ankommen, Vertrauen aufbauen und sein Leben als junger Kater genießen darf. Wer Blackjack kennenlernen möchte, darf sich gerne bei uns melden. Wenn Sie ihn kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Black Jack

What life with Black Jack looks like

Black Jack is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Black Jack, answered.

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