Clemens

European Shorthair · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

In its future home, there should definitely be a secure run. Other cats could be an advantage during the adjustment period. Clemens has formed a real friendship with Tristan, and we would be happy if the two could find a shared home. They would also feel comfortable on a supervised paddock where they can decide how much and how close they want to approach people. Our Clemens is the last tomcat still with us from the previous "Cat Case." Unfortunately, he has some new health issues. His kidneys don't function quite as they should, and he needs special food and an additional daily medication. His leg positioning issue is also operable, and the resulting patellar luxation causes him pain, so he needs a pain injection every four weeks. Otherwise, Clemens is simply sweet, very compatible (still very close friends with Tristan), and if he builds up a little trust and likes someone, he can also be very cuddly. This cat needs outdoor access.

Im künftigen Zuhause sollte auf jeden Fall sicherer Freigang vorhanden sein. Andere Katzen könnten bei der Eingewöhnung von Vorteil sein. Mit Tristan hat Clemens richtig Freundschaft geschlossen und wir würden uns freuen, wenn die beiden ein gemeinsames Zuhause finden. Sie würden sich sicher auch auf einer betreuten Hofstelle wohlfühlen, auf der sie selbst entscheiden können, ob und wie weit sie auf den Menschen zukommen. Unser Clemens ist der letzte Kater, der aus dem damaligen "Katzenfall" noch bei uns ist. Leider gibt es bei ihm neue gesundheitliche Baustellen. Seine Nieren funktionieren nicht mehr ganz so, wie sie sollen und er braucht Spezialfutter und zusätzlich 1x täglich ein Medikament. Seine Fehlstellung an den Beine ist auch leider operabel, die dadurch entstandene Patellaluxation bereitet ihm Schmerzen, so braucht er alle 4 Wochen eine Schmerzspritze. Sonst ist Clemens einfach nur süß, sehr verträglich ( immer noch eng mit Tristan befreundet) und wenn er ein bisschen Vertrauen gefasst hat und jemanden mag, auch sehr verkuschelt.

About Clemens

What life with Clemens looks like

Clemens is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn in Germany.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Clemens, answered.

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