How do I contact the shelter about Captain Spades?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelenkatzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Captain Spades on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Captain Spades if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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 Captain Spades 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 Captain Spades 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Captain Spades 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.

Captain Spades

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Current Location: Barlad, Romania Age: born approx. 2022 Sex: male, neutered Personality: social, calm Special feature: none No single housing! Hello out there! I am the cool cat Captain Spades and I am looking for a new home. At the moment I live with some other cats in a foster home. We are all former street cats. Here I am taken care of and I am doing well (see photos). But as it is on foster homes, this is not my final destination but only an intermediate station. Because there are many more cats out there that urgently need help. So if every cat here would stay, then the space would eventually not be enough. In my new home I would like to have a cat buddy of similar age and similar character traits. If nobody suitable lives with you yet, I can maybe bring someone from here. Ask my mediator who might fit. See you hopefully soon, your Captain Spades

Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Barlad, Rumänien Alter: geb. ca. 2022 Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Charakter: sozial, ruhig Besonderheit: keins Keine Einzelhaltung! Hallo ihr da draußen! Ich bin der coole Kater Captain Spades und bin auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause. Zur Zeit lebe ich mit einigen anderen Katzen auf einer Pflegestelle. Wir alle sind ehemalige Straßenkatzen. Hier werde ich versorgt und lasse es mir gut gehen (siehe Fotos). Doch wie das so ist auf Pflegestellen, ist dies nicht meine Endstation sondern nur eine Zwischenstation. Denn es gibt da draußen noch viel mehr Katzen die dringend Hilfe brauchen. Wenn also jede Katze hier bleiben würde, dann würde der Platz irgendwann einfach nicht mehr reichen. In meinem neuen Zuhause wünsche ich mir einen Katzenkumpel im ähnlichen Alter und mit ähnlichen Charakterzügen. Wenn bei dir noch niemand passendes wohnt, kann ich vielleicht jemanden von hier mitbringen. Frag meine Vermittlerin wer passen könnte. Bis hoffentlich bald, dein Captain Spades

About Captain Spades

What life with Captain Spades looks like

Captain Spades is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
