Costa (Freigänger)

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Costa is among the adoptable animals we found in our town. Now he has become more visible, so our cat whisperer could finally take pictures of him. He looks (almost) identical to his twin brother Cesar 🙂 and just like him, he appreciates his freedom with regular feeding times. I need a financial team that can pledge 50 € per month for me!

Costa gehört zu den Freigängern, die bei uns im Ort gefunden wurden. Mittlerweile ist er sichtbar geworden, so dass wir endlich Bilder von ihm machen können 😉 Seinem Zwillingsbruder Cesar sieht er (fast) zum Verwechseln ähnlich 🙂 und auch er schätzt seine Freiheit mit regelmäßigen Futterzeiten. Meine finanzielle Patin In. Ro. stemmt 50 € mtl. für mich – Patenschaft gedeckt

About Costa (Freigänger)

What life with Costa (Freigänger) looks like

Costa (Freigänger) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Sadelkow - Gnadenhof Sonnenschein e.V. in Datzetal.

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 Costa (Freigänger), answered.

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