Charlie-Sumo

Male · Adult · 4 years

Charlie-Sumo has arrived with us due to financial reasons. We are looking for a home with secure outdoor access for the young tomcat, as he must not catch any other food outside due to his illness. Charlie-Sumo is a very cute, thin tomcat who is very voracious. However, this is also a problem because he can only eat horse due to chronic vomiting and diarrhea. This must be kept in mind at all times. Currently, he is receiving cortisone, which is currently unavailable. Children should already be older, and a trial with dogs is possible. Charlie-Sumo does not like other tomcats, but he is compatible with kittens. Who will give him a home?

Charlie-Sumo ist aus finanziellen Gründen bei uns gelandet. Für den jungen Kater suchen wir ein Zuhause mit gesichertem Freigang, da er aufgrund seiner Erkrankung draußen kein anderes Futter erwischen darf. Charlie-Sumo ist ein sehr niedlicher, verschmuster Kater, der sehr verfressen ist. Das ist aber auch ein Problem, da er nur Pferd essen darf wegen chronischem Brech-Durchfall. Das muss man unbedingt im Auge behalten. Aktuell bekommt er Cortison, was aber gerade ausgeschlichen wird. Kinder sollten schon größer sein, mit Hunden käme es auf einen Versuch an. Charlie-Sumo mag keine Kater, mit Kätzinnen ist er verträglich. Wer gibt ihm ein Zuhause?

About Charlie-Sumo

What life with Charlie-Sumo looks like

Charlie-Sumo is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at Tierheim Nürnberg in Nuremberg.

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.

Note from the shelter: Chronic vomiting and diarrhea requiring special diet (horse meat only), currently on cortisone treatment being tapered off, needs secured outdoor access but must not access other food

🇩🇪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 Charlie-Sumo, answered.

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