Carter

European Shorthair · Male

Night, when no one dares to venture out, crime reigns everywhere, and injustice prevails, it is up to him, Carter, to ensure law and order! The little grey cat may be shy, but he is curious all the same. His secret refuge is, um, secret, but he longs for a garden! The "Grey Avenger", as he calls himself, growls when things get too hectic, but he has never bitten or scratched, for Carter's secret superpower is "being loving" and he is good at it! This sometimes scares off other cats, which makes Carter sad, for he would like to be friends with them.

„Nachts, wenn sich keiner mehr auf die Straße traut, das Verbrechen überall regiert und Ungerechtigkeit herrscht, ist es an ihm, Carter, für Recht und Ordnung zu sorgen! Der kleine graue Kater mag schüchtern sein, neugierig ist er allemal. Sein geheimes Refugium ist, äh, geheim, aber er sehnt sich nach einem Garten! Der „Graue Rächer“, wie er sich selbst nennt, faucht wenn es zu hektisch wird, aber er hat noch nie gebissen oder gekratzt, denn die geheime Superkraft von Carter ist „Lieb sein“ und das kann er gut!

About Carter

What life with Carter looks like

Carter is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Carter, answered.

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