Charly

Male · Adult · 5 years

The majestic tomcat Charly came to us under mysterious circumstances at our shelter. How he traveled from Deggendorf to Aholming will likely remain his secret forever – we would, of course, love to hear his story. Charly is a true character cat and a loner. He only gets along with other cats to a limited extent, so he is looking for a quiet home as a solitary prince. After an adjustment period, he wants to enjoy the outdoors again, hunt mice, and lead an independent cat life. With his previous owners, Charly was very cuddly – but as with us humans, the affection between a person and an animal is often mutual. We therefore wish for people with understanding for his special character and a home in a quiet environment for Charly. After his vaccination and fecal examination, Charly is expected to take up his new throne from May 28th onwards. This cat needs outdoor access.

Der stattliche Kater Charly kam unter mysteriösen Umständen zu uns ins Tierheim. Wie er von Deggendorf nach Aholming gelangt ist, wird wohl für immer sein Geheimnis bleiben – wir würden jedenfalls gerne seine Geschichte erfahren. Charly ist ein echter Charakterkater mit Katzendamen in seinem Zimmer, versteht er sich sehr gut. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit möchte er unbedingt wieder Freigang genießen, Mäuse jagen und ein selbstbestimmtes Katzenleben führen. Bei seinen Vorbesitzern zeigte sich Charly sehr verschmust – doch wie bei uns Menschen entscheidet auch bei Katzen oft die Sympathie von Mensch und Tier. Für Charly wünschen wir uns daher Menschen mit Verständnis für seinen besonderen Charakter und einem Zuhause in ruhiger Umgebung.

About Charly

What life with Charly looks like

Charly is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Charly, answered.

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