Dickmadam ♀

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Dickmadam is approximately 6-7 years old and a little chubby (the name fits like a fist to the eye). She had not had a particularly nice life so far, as she lived in a rather run-down environment and could now be "collected." We feared that her somewhat larger belly might be a tumor, but it is likely just fat. During the examination, it was noted that she had a larger dark, crusty wound under one armpit, which could be melanoma. The wound has since healed, but that must be kept in mind. A change was also noted on one of her teats. Dickmadam has no teeth left; the last stumps were removed. However, this does not hinder her from eating; she can still take in food quite well 🙂 Dickmadam is still a little reserved, but she enjoys being stroked and is already pressing her head into hands. She is also starting to "talk" a little. She currently lives in a room with Liese, and the two largely ignore each other. At her previous place, several cats lived, so she is familiar with other cats. For Dickmadam, we are looking for a nice home where she can also go outside after an adjustment period, as she has spent her entire life outdoors. We wish for a wonderful place for Dickmadam with people who are aware that she is not entirely healthy.

Update 25.05.2026: wir hatten eine Gewebeprobe aus den Hautveränderungen entnehmen und untersuchen lassen. Es wurde ein bowenoides Karzinom festgestellt. Vor ein paar Tagen nun wurden an insgesamt 5 Stellen bei Dickmadam diese Karzinome entfernt. Sie hat die Operation gut überstanden und die Wunden verheilen gut. Wir hoffen, dass die Karzinome nicht wiederkommen. Für 10 Tage trägt Dickmadam nun einen Body, dann werden die Fäden gezogen. Dickmadam ist ca. 6-7 Jahre alt und ein wenig pummelig (der Name passt wie die Faust aufs Auge). Sie hatte bisher kein besonders schönes Leben, denn sie lebte in einer eher verwahrlosten Umgebung und konnte nun „eingesammelt“ werden. Wir hatten die Befürchtung, dass der etwas umfangreichere Bauch vielleicht ein Tumor sein könnte, aber es ist wohl wirklich nur Fett. Bei der Untersuchung wurde allerdings festgestellt, dass sie unter einer Achsel eine größere dunkel gefärbte verkrustete Wunde hatte, die ein Melanom sein könnte. Die Wunde ist mittlerweile abgeheilt, aber das muss man im Hinterkopf behalten. Auch an einer Zitze wurde ein Veränderung festgestellt. Dickmadam hat keine Zähne mehr, die letzten Stummel wurde entfernt. Das hindert sich aber nicht am Fressen, das Futter kann sie gut aufnehmen 🙂 Dickmadam ist noch ein wenig zurückhaltend, aber sie lässt sich gerne streicheln und drückt auch schon den Kopf in die Hand. Auch fängt sie langsam an zu sprechen. Sie wohnt zur Zeit mit Liese in einem Zimmer – die beiden ignorieren sich weitestgehend. An ihrem bisherigen Platz leben mehrere Katzen, sie kennt also andere Katzen. Für Dickmadam suchen wir ein schönes Zuhause, in dem sie nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit auch nach draußen kann, denn sie hat ja ihr ganzes Leben draußen gewohnt. Wir wünschen uns einen tollen Platz für Dickmadam mit Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass sie nicht ganz gesund ist.

About Dickmadam ♀

What life with Dickmadam ♀ looks like

Dickmadam ♀ is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Büdingen e.V. in Ortenberg.

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 Dickmadam ♀, answered.

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