Adopt Blacky

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The cat Blacky has unfortunately lost her home because her owner could no longer take care of her due to age and health issues. Blacky showed herself to be a very independent and freedom-loving cat at our animal shelter, who desperately wanted to be back outside. Therefore, we have let her out on our premises and she may stay as a courtyard cat. You can support Blacky with a sponsorship. Animal shelter account: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

Read original (de)

Die Katze Blacky hat leider ihr Zuhause verloren, weil ihre Besitzerin sich alters- und krankheitsbedingt nicht mehr um sie kümmern konnte. Blacky zeigte sich bei uns im Tierheim als sehr unabhängige und freiheitsliebende Katze, die unbedingt wieder nach draußen wollte. Deshalb haben wir sie auf unserem Gelände rausgelassen und sie darf als Hofkatze bei uns bleiben. Ein eigenes Zuhause würde ihr aber noch viel besser gefallen. Gern kann man Blacky auch mit einer Patenschaft unterstützen. Tierheimkonto: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Detmold in Detmold.

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 Detmold 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 Detmold 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 Detmold 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.
