Adopt Carlo

Male · Adult · 8 years

Carlo came to us as a surrender with his brother Hugo. The two have already had several moves behind them. After two more owner changes, they are now back with us. Now the two are looking for their permanent home. Here they show themselves to be friendly, people-oriented, and cuddly. Carlo is a bit shy at the beginning but warms up quickly. The two are looking for a shared home, with (primarily) Hugo also being able to enjoy the outdoor area.

Carlo kam mit seinem Bruder Hugo als Abgabetier zu uns. Die beiden haben bereits mehrere Umzüge hinter sich. Nach zwei weiteren Halterwechseln sind sie nun wieder bei uns. Jetzt suchen die beiden ihr endgültiges Zuhause. Hier zeigen sie sich nett, menschenbezogen und verschmust. Carlo ist zu Beginn etwas schüchtern, taut aber schnell auf. Die beiden suchen ein gemeinsames Zuhause, indem (v?or allem) Hugo auch den Freigang genießen kann.

About Carlo

What life with Carlo looks like

Carlo is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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 Carlo, answered.

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