Adopt Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Buddy, born in May 2024, is a sensitive and rather reserved tomcat who needs some time to build trust. He isn't aggressive—just still very fearful—and currently doesn't like being touched. He feels most comfortable in a quiet environment where he can decide for himself when to allow closeness. Buddy gets along well with other cats. He would be especially suited to a similarly calm and easygoing feline companion who respects his need for space.

Buddy, geboren im Mai 2024, ist ein sensibler und eher zurückhaltender Kater, der etwas Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Er ist nicht aggressiv, sondern einfach noch sehr ängstlich und lässt sich aktuell ungern anfassen. Am wohlsten fühlt er sich in einer ruhigen Umgebung, in der er selbst bestimmen darf, wann er Nähe zulässt. Mit anderen Katzen ist Buddy gut verträglich. Besonders geeignet wäre für ihn eine ebenfalls ruhige und gelassene Partnerkatze, die seinen Freiraum respektiert.

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Landshut in Landshut.

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 Buddy, answered.

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