Adopt Blacky

Mixed Breed · Male

Our handsome Blacky is a real little Filou, curious, cuddly, and very charming. Every can-opener heart falls into his "trap." A large, very elegant tomcat with captivating blue eyes. One can sense the special something about him nearby—cat lovers know what is meant……. The lovable fellow likes to approach people, finds shared snuggling rounds optimal, and has plenty to say, Blacky would like a spot with plenty of space and time for him. A secure little garden/terrace would certainly be a enrichment for the interested cat man. He also loves affectionate, already out of the toddler shoes children very much. Cat company is familiar to him, but not necessarily necessary. Currently, he still lives with his companion Hexa at a foster home.

Unser bildhübscher Blacky ist ein richtiger kleiner Filou, neugierig, anschmiegsam und sehr charmant. Null Komma Nix tappt jedes Dosenöffner Herz in seine „Falle“. Ein großer, sehr eleganter Kater mit bezaubernden blauen Augen. Man spürt in seiner Nähe das Besondere an ihm – Katzenfans wissen, was gemeint ist……. Das liebenswerte Kerlchen geht gerne auf Menschen zu, findet gemeinsame Kuschelrunden optimal und hat so allerhand zu erzählen, Blacky hätte gerne ein Plätzchen mit viel Platz und Zeit für ihn. Ein gesicherter kleiner Garten/Terrasse wäre für den interessierten Katzenmann sicher eine Bereicherung. Auch liebevolle, schon den Kleinkinderschuhen entschlüpfte Kinder, mag er sehr gerne. Katzengesellschaft ist er gewohnt, aber nicht zwingend notwendig. Aktuell wohnt er noch mit seiner Gefährtin Hexa auf einer Pflegestelle zusammen.

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Blacky, answered.

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