Caleb

Mixed Breed · Male

Caleb still finds people a bit grusely scary and prefers to keep his distance. He needs patient people who don't expect anything from him and who give him all the time in the world to settle in. It's very important for him to have a confident second cat to look up to. A social fellow animal would definitely help him build trust. After adequate settling in, Caleb can be given a free roam in a quiet, safe environment. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Caleb findet Menschen aktuell noch etwas gruselig und hält lieber seinen Abstand. Er braucht geduldige Menschen, die nichts von ihm erwarten und ihm alle Zeit der Welt lassen, um anzukommen. Ganz wichtig für ihn ist ein souveräner Zweitkater, an dem er sich orientieren kann. Ein sozialer Artgenosse würde ihm sicher sehr helfen, Vertrauen zu fassen. Nach ausreichender Eingewöhnung darf Caleb gerne Freigang in ruhiger, sicherer Umgebung bekommen.

About Caleb

What life with Caleb looks like

Caleb is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 Caleb, answered.

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