Blacky

Male · Young · 1 year

Since us: 13.05.2026 husbandry with free roam · Open and lively Blacky must always experience something to be balanced. If he doesn't get enough input, he starts making nonsense. After he moved from quarantine to our cat shelter, he shows much more contentment. On the first day, the free roam enclosure was inspected, and contact with fellow animals in the neighboring enclosure was established. A socialization we currently unfortunately cannot facilitate due to a lack of suitable animals. However, we suspect that a merger with a fellow animal with a similar character is possible. Alternatively, Blacky would also be happy as a single cat if there is enough action in his new home. The very active and temperamental tomcat always seeks contact with humans. He wants to be there all the time, to be cuddled and stroked. He is always available for different activities. Larger children can live in his new home. Unfortunately, Blacky has a handicap. A heart condition was diagnosed in him. It currently does not restrict him in any way, and medication is not yet necessary. He should be checked by a veterinarian once a year due to this. Unfortunately, the future development of this condition cannot be predicted. This cat needs outdoor access.

Bei uns seit: 13.05.2026 Haltung mit Freigang · Aufgeschlossen und lebhaft Blacky muss immer etwas erleben, um ausgeglichen zu sein. Bekommt er nicht genügend Input, fängt er an Unsinn zu machen. Nachdem er aus der Quarantäne in unser Katzenhaus gezogen ist, zeigt er sich viel zufriedener. Gleich am ersten Tag wurde das Freigehege inspiziert und Kontakt zu Artgenossen im Nachbargehege aufgenommen. Eine Vergesellschaftung können wir aktuell leider noch nicht durchführen, da uns passende Tiere fehlen. Wir vermuten allerdings, dass eine Zusammenführung mit einem Artgenossen, der einen ähnlichen Charakter hat, möglich ist. Alternativ wäre Blacky auch als Einzelkatze glücklich, wenn genügend Action in seinem neuen Zuhause ist. Der sehr aktive und temperamentvolle Kater sucht viel den Kontakt zu Menschen. Er möchte immer dabei sein, geknuddelt und gestreichelt werden. Für unterschiedlichste Beschäftigungen ist er jederzeit zu haben. In seinem neuen Zuhause können gern größere Kinder leben. Ein Handicap bringt Blacky leider mit. Bei ihm wurde eine Herzerkrankung diagnostiziert. Es schränkt ihn momentan in keiner Weise ein und Medikamente sind auch noch nicht notwendig. Einmal jährlich sollte er aufgrund dessen tierärztlich durchgecheckt werden. Wie sich diese Erkrankung zukünftig weiterentwickelt, kann leider nicht prognostiziert werden. 03841 - 79 01 79

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg 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. 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. Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg 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 — Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg 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 Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg 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.
