Charly

European Shorthair · Male

This is quite interesting: a human. I've seen you here a few times already. Well, if you're wondering whose rear end you're looking at: I'm Charly and I like to sit in my box. I'm a bit reserved and need a quiet home with a balcony and people who are also calm and patient with me. It's understandable, as I need to build trust before I can be petted – but for that, I need my quiet, controlled environment! I don't really like children because, as mentioned, I prefer my peace and quiet.

Das ist ja mal interessant: ein Mensch. Euch habe ich schon mehrfach hier gesehen. Tja, falls du dich also fragst, wessen rückwärtigen Teil du gerade betrachtest: Ich bin Charly und ich sitze gerne in meiner Box. Ich bin etwas zurückhaltend und brauche mein ruhiges Zuhause mit Balkon und mit Menschen, die ebenfalls ruhig sind und Geduld mt mir haben. Irgendwo auch verständlich, denn ich muss ja Vertrauen aufbauen und dann kann man mich streicheln – aber dafür brauche ich meine ruhige, kontrollierte Umgebung! Kinder mag ich nicht so sehr, da ich wie gesagt eher meine Ruhe brauche. Mit anderen K

About Charly

What life with Charly looks like

Charly 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 Charly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Charly?
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 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 — 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 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 Meine Katzenstation 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.
