Charly (Anfragestopp)

European Shorthair · Male

Allow me to introduce myself—my name is Charly! I’m a friendly 12-year-old tomcat. Somehow, even I’ve lost my home—despite having a registered microchip. But that’s a longer story, one my caregivers will tell you about. In any case, I was smart enough to make my way toward the animal shelter. After all, word has spread among cat circles: here, new, loving families—couples or singles—are being sought for us velvet paws—and they’re being found, too! Well, here I am now, enjoying my own little room with a cat flap and a separate outdoor run, because I just love lounging outside in the sun, letting the warmth soak into my fur. There really is nothing like a cozy little nap. Though... when the cuddle ladies come around, I quickly hurry over to them and, of course, love getting petted. I adore them, and they adore me, too. I’m just a sweet, calm little guy who thoroughly enjoys being pampered. Meow! By now, I’m actually quite comfortable here, and I’ve already started packing my little bags, ready to move out fast as soon as my new humans are at the door. I’m perfectly happy with a nice apartment, too, because I’ve never really known what it’s like to roam freely outdoors. Still, a balcony is very important to me. Those sunbaths—I’ll purr for you—what a delight! By the way, I arrived here almost toothless (don’t laugh now!), and due to my age, my hip occasionally gives me a bit of trouble. But there’s this wonderful stuff that helps cats like us so much. I’m supposed to get that soon, too. That’s pretty much it—otherwise, I’m doing great, and I’m looking forward to new, cozy adventures—preferably right here with you. Meow!

Gestatten – Charly mein Name! Ich bin ein freundlicher Kater von 12 Jahren. Irgendwie ist auch mir mein Zuhause abhandengekommen – trotz registriertem Transponder (Chip). Doch das ist eine längere Geschichte, die erzählt Ihnen dann mein Personal. Auf jeden Fall war ich schlau genug und habe mich Richtung Tierheim auf den Weg gemacht. Denn es hat sich in Katzenkreisen schon „rummiaut” – hier werden neue, liebevolle Familien, Paare oder Singles für uns Samtpfoten gesucht – und auch gefunden. Tja – nun bin ich also hier, habe mein eigenes, kleines Zimmerchen mit Katzenklappe und separatem Auslauf, denn ich liege nur zu gern draußen in der Sonne, um mir meinen Pelz wärmen zu lassen. Es geht doch nichts über ein gemütliches Dösen. Wobei … wenn die Streicheltanten kommen, dann eile ich flugs zu denen und lasse mich natürlich gern streicheln. Die mag ich. Und sie mögen mich auch. Ich bin eben ein lieber, ruhiger Katermann, der es genießt, verwöhnt zu werden. Miau! Mittlerweile reicht es mir hier auch und ich hab schon mal angefangen, meine Köfferchen zu packen, damit ich schnell ausziehen kann, wenn meine neuen Menschen vor der Tür stehen. Ich bin auch mit einer schönen Wohnung vollkommen zufrieden, denn Freigang habe ich nie wirklich kennengelernt. Wobei mir ein Balkon schon sehr wichtig ist. Diese Sonnenbäder – ich miaue Ihnen – ein Hochgenuss! Ich kam hier übrigens fast zahnlos an (nun lachen Sie mal nicht) und altersbedingt zickt meine Hüfte gelegentlich. Doch da gibt es ja so ein tolles Zeug, was uns Katzen prima hilft. Das soll ich nun auch bald bekommen. Das war’s dann auch – ansonsten geht es mir richtig gut und ich freu mich auf neue, gemütliche Abenteuer – am liebsten bei Ihnen. Miau!

About Charly (Anfragestopp)

What life with Charly (Anfragestopp) looks like

Charly (Anfragestopp) is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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 (Anfragestopp), answered.

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