Charly

European Shorthair · Male

Ich bin Charly … ein kleiner Freigeist, der noch ziemlich viel Angst hat und ein besonders geduldiges Zuhause sucht. Das bin ich: Ich wurde gefunden und finde hier im Tierheim erstmal noch alles ziemlich gruselig. Menschen gegenüber bin ich vorsichtig und lasse mich bisher auch noch nicht streicheln. Wenn mir etwas zu viel wird oder ich mich bedrängt fühle, kann ich durchaus fauchen. Das ist meine Art zu zeigen, dass ich gerade lieber meine Ruhe haben möchte. Ob ich irgendwann ein richtiger Schmusekater werde, kann ich natürlich nicht versprechen. Aber mit viel Ruhe, Geduld und Vertrauen wird das bestimmt deutlich besser – ein eigenes Zuhause hilft da einfach. Ich brauche Menschen, die mich so nehmen, wie ich bin, und meine Grenzen respektieren. Außerdem möchte ich mich wieder draußen auspowern können. Ich wünsche mir … ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Freigang in einer verkehrsarmen Umgebung. Dort möchte ich als Einzelprinz leben, andere Katzen sollten also nicht vorhanden sein. Auch Kinder sollten nicht zu meinem neuen Haushalt gehören. Ich möchte selbst entscheiden dürfen, wann ich Nähe zulasse. Vielleicht brauche ich dafür etwas länger – aber ich hoffe sehr, dass mich trotzdem jemand lieb haben möchte. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Dann melde dich doch über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Garfield-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Charly

What life with Charly looks like

Charly is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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 Berlin Falkenberg 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 Berlin Falkenberg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Berlin Falkenberg 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.
