Chiko

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Ich bin Chiko ein lieber Kater auf der Suche nach einem tollen Zuhause, gern mit passender schon vorhandener Samtpfote. Das bin ich: Meine liebe Pflegestelle sagt über mich, ich sei ein Traumkater – sehr zutraulich, menschenbezogen und auch interessiert an neuen Personen. Dabei bin ich super entspannt und sanftmütig. Kuscheln und gekrault werden finde ich ganz toll. Auch spielen liebe ich, am liebsten mit einer Schnur, an der Dinge befestigt sind. Ich beobachte auch mal gern aus dem Fenster die Welt und entdecke neue Orte – wie einen offenen Schrank. Über Klettermöglichkeiten freue ich mich genauso wie über Dinge, unter denen ich liegen kann (Couch, Wäscheständer, Schreibtisch). Ich wünsche mir ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem gern schon eine passende Samtpfote auf mich wartet. Toll wäre natürlich ein Balkon (abgesichert) oder gesichertes Fensterplätzchen, damit ich die Welt beobachten kann. Wenn du mir ein Plätzchen schenken möchtest, melde dich gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder mit einer aussagekräftigen E-Mail unter .

About Chiko

What life with Chiko looks like

Chiko is a young adult british 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. 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 Chiko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chiko?
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 Chiko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chiko 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Chiko 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 Chiko 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 Chiko 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.
