Adopt Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 19 months

Diego has been with us at our shelter since May 2026. I only haven't shown you that yet because everything is so new and unfamiliar to me. But otherwise, I'd love to comment on your day, greet you personally in the morning, and find that silence is often overrated. I'm about 1.5 years old, a somewhat grumpy tomcat with a big heart and even bigger need to communicate. I love people, closeness, and attention, and if you listen to me, I might even share my secret thoughts, which are mostly about food :). My previous home had to let me and my cat friends go with heavy hearts because we simply became too many. Now, I wish for people who say, "We've been looking for you exactly." I get along well with other cats; I'm social, friendly, and prefer to be in the middle of things rather than just around. Cuddling? I love it. Having conversations? Even better. I'm used to apartment living and now wish for my own cute home, maybe even with a cat-safe netted balcony? And I hope to arrive there with people who have time for me, appreciate my little chatty nature, and show me that I can finally stay. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little better!

Diego ist seit Mai 2026 bei uns im Tierheim. Aus der hier im Tierheim zeige ich das nur noch nicht so wirklich, da alles so ungewohnt und neu für mich ist. Aber ansonsten kommentiere ich gerne deinen Tag, begrüße dich morgens persönlich und finde, Stille wird sowieso überbewertet. Ich bin ungefähr 1,5 Jahre jung, ein verschmuster Kater mit einem großen herzen und noch größerem Mitteilungsbedürfnis. Ich liebe Menschen, Nähe und Aufmerksamkeit, und wenn du mir zuhörst, erzähle ich dir vielleicht sogar meine geheimen Gedanken, wobei es zu 99% ums Futter geht :) Mein bisheriges Zuhause musste mich und meine Katzenfreunde schweren Herzens gehen lassen, weil wir einfach zu viele geworden sind. Jetzt wünsche ich mir Menschen, die sagen: „Genau dich haben wir gesucht.“ Mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich gut, ich bin sozial, freundlich und gerne mittendrin statt nur dabei. Kuscheln? Sehr gerne. Gespräche führen? Noch lieber. Ich bin Wohnungshaltung gewohnt und wünsche mir nun mein eigenes hübsches Zuhause, vielleicht sogar mit einem vernetzten Balkon? Und in dem ich natürlich ankommen darf, mit Menschen, die Zeit für mich haben, meine kleine Plaudertasche schätzen und mir zeigen, dass ich endlich bleiben darf. Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, um mich etwas Kennenzulernen :) Bis hoffentlich bald, dein Diegooo

About Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause

What life with Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause looks like

Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause is a large puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Oldenburg in Oldenburg.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Oldenburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation.

Can I adopt Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Oldenburg 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 Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause 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 Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause 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 Oldenburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Diego sucht sein neues Zuhause 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.
