Söckchen

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

This cat is being placed on behalf of its current owner. The approximately six-year-old tomcat was taken in as a stray about a year ago and kept as an indoor cat. According to his current owner's experience, the cat does not seem to feel comfortable in pure indoor housing. He has the impression that Brian's Cat used to be an outdoor cat and wants a life with regular outdoor access. Since this is not possible in his current home, the cat is now looking for a new home that better meets his needs. Brian's Cat is neutered and microchipped. His vaccinations will be updated next week. He is a very affectionate and people-oriented cat who enjoys the company of his caregivers. When cuddling, he occasionally gently nibbles on fingers - a lovable quirk and not aggressive behavior. Unfortunately, it is not known whether Brian's Cat gets along with other cats. Before his current home, he was rather reserved. The cat reacts cautiously to dogs or small children and prefers to retreat to a quiet place from which he can observe the situation. A quiet, loving home is being sought, where Brian's Cat can enjoy outdoor access in a traffic-calmed area after a suitable acclimatization period. The current owner is giving him up with a heavy heart and wishes for people with whom he can arrive and be happy permanently. If you are seriously interested, we would be happy to put you in touch with the current owner. Just write to us. As soon as we receive your message, we will contact you as soon as possible. Please understand that we may not always be able to respond immediately. Please give us one to two days for a response.

Die etwa sechsjährige Söckchen wurde vor rund einem Jahr als Fundkatze übernommen und seitdem als Wohnungskatze gehalten. Nach den Erfahrungen ihres jetzigen Besitzers scheint sie sich mit reiner Wohnungshaltung jedoch nicht wohlzufühlen. Er vermutet, dass sie früher Freigang kannte und sich ein Leben wünscht, in dem sie wieder nach draußen darf. Da dies in ihrem aktuellen Zuhause leider nicht möglich ist, sucht Söckchen nun ein neues Zuhause, das ihren Bedürfnissen besser gerecht wird. Söckchen ist kastriert und gechippt. Ihre Impfungen werden in der kommenden Woche aufgefrischt. Sie ist eine sehr verschmuste und menschenbezogene Katze, die die Nähe ihrer Menschen genießt. Beim Kuscheln knabbert sie gelegentlich ganz sanft an den Fingern – eine liebenswerte Eigenart und keinesfalls aggressives Verhalten. Auf Hunde oder kleine Kinder reagiert Söckchen vorsichtig und zieht sich lieber an einen ruhigen Platz zurück, von dem aus sie das Geschehen beobachten kann. In unserem Katzenzimmer zeigt sich: Söckchen mag ihre Artgenossen gar nicht gerne leiden und ist lieber Einzelkatze. Für Söckchen wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit wieder Freigang in verkehrsberuhigter Lage genießen darf. Ihr derzeitiger Besitzer gibt sie schweren Herzens ab und wünscht sich Menschen, bei denen sie dauerhaft ankommen und glücklich werden kann.

About Söckchen

What life with Söckchen looks like

Söckchen is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. 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 Söckchen, answered.

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