Carlo

Male

A cat and her four kittens were found by tourists at a vacation resort in a village near Sassari. The mother cat would always come around and was fed, and because the tourists suspected that she had kittens, they followed her one day and discovered the family's hideout in a completely abandoned and dilapidated house at the edge of the resort. From then on, the little ones were also fed. At the end of their vacation, the tourists did not want to leave the small family without care. Moreover, there was a risk that the mother could become pregnant again soon... They reached out for help, and we provided a trap through a helper of our association who lives nearby. Fortunately, we managed to secure the entire family. Our partner Paola immediately offered to take the mother cat and her kittens into her care. When they arrived at Paola's, the mother and the kittens were not in good condition, but they have since recovered quite well. Only Mama Cara is still not fully fit. She has a respiratory issue that has not been conclusively resolved yet. Therefore, she has not been spayed yet due to the high anesthesia risk. We do not currently want to subject her to a trip to Germany either. Cara is a very loving and approachable cat. In stark contrast to her children. The kittens were extremely shy initially, especially the two girls in the sibling group, and it is difficult to predict how they will develop further. This animal is not yet neutered/spayed.

Eine Katze wurde mit vier Babys von Touristen in einer Ferienanlage in einem Dorf bei Sassari gefunden. Die Katzenmutter kam immer vorbei und wurde gefüttert, und weil die Touristen die Vermutung hatten, dass sie Babys hat, folgten sie ihr eines Tages und entdeckten dann auch an einem völlig verlassenen und schon heruntergekommenen Haus am Rande der Anlage den Unterschlupf der Katzenfamilie. Von da an wurden die Kleinen auch gefüttert. Am Ende des Urlaubs wollten die Touristen die kleine Familie jedoch nicht unversorgt zurücklassen. Zumal die Gefahr bestand, dass die Mama bald schon wieder trächtig werden könnte ...Sie wandten sich um Hilfe an uns, wir stellten über eine in der Nähe lebende Helferin unseres Vereins eine Falle zur Verfügung, und glücklicherweise gelang es, die komplette Familie zu sichern.Unsere Partnerin Paola erklärte sich dann auch sofort bereit, die Katzenmama und ihre Kleinen in Obhut zu nehmen. Die Mama und auch die Kleinen waren in keiner guten Verfassung, als sie zu Paola kamen, haben sich aber inzwischen recht gut erholt. Nur Mama Cara ist nach wie vor nicht ganz fit. Sie hat ein Atemwegsproblem, das noch nicht abschließend geklärt werden konnte. Deshalb konnte sie auch noch nicht kastriert werden, da das Narkoserisiko zu hoch ist. Wir möchten ihr aktuell auch noch keine Reise nach Deutschland zumuten. Cara ist eine ganz liebe, zugängliche Katze. Ganz im Gegensatz zu ihren Kindern. Die Kleinen waren anfangs extrem scheu, insbesondere die beiden Mädchen der Geschwistergruppe, und es ist schwer einzuschätzen, wie sie sich weiterentwickeln. Derzeit ist jedenfalls für die Mädchen nicht an eine

About Carlo

What life with Carlo looks like

Carlo is a adult cat waiting at ProTier 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 Carlo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carlo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ProTier e.V. 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 — ProTier 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 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 ProTier e.V. 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.
