How do I contact the shelter about Dringend?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dortmunder Katzenschutz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dringend on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dringend if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dortmunder Katzenschutz 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 Dringend 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 Dringend 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 Dortmunder Katzenschutz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dringend 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.

Dringend

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Cosmo needs people who genuinely care about him. This plush cat is currently in the care of DKSV and can be adopted with a donation and a contract. Our cats are examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped, provided they are old enough. Kittens are of course also examined by a veterinarian and can only be adopted with a spay/neuter commitment. The approximately 5-year-old tomcat was caught after living in his neighborhood for two years and being hunted and persecuted as an aggressive troublemaker, castrated and microchipped. Unfortunately, Cosmo cannot return to his environment because murder threats were made against him. Although he is still anxious, he lets himself be touched and stroked. He is currently being treated for an eye infection. We are urgently looking for cat-experienced people who can give him a new home with a secure balcony or outdoor access. Due to his history, he should remain a single prince. Adoption agency: DKSV Contact: Ms. Heinisch Ad posted on: 26.07.2026

Cosmo braucht jetzt dringend Menschen, die es gut mit ihm meinen Diese Samtpfote befindet sich zur Zeit in der Obhut des DKSV und ist gegen Spende und Schutzvertrag zu vermitteln. Unsere Katzen sind tierärztlich untersucht, geimpft, kastriert, gechipt, sofern sie alt genug sind. Katzenkinder sind selbstverständlich auch tierärztlich untersucht und werden nur mit Kastrationsverpflichtung vermittelt. Der ca. 5-jährige Kater wurde, nachdem er zwei Jahre in seinem Stadtviertel gelebt hat und als aggressiver Unruhestifter gejagt und verfolgt wurde, eingefangen, kastriert und gechippt. Cosmo kann leider nicht in seine Umgebung zurück, da dort auch Morddrohungen gegen ihn geäußert wurden. Mittlerweile ist er zwar noch ängstlich, aber er lässt sich anfassen und streicheln. Zurzeit wird noch eine Augenentzündung behandelt. Wir suchen dringend katzenerfahrenen Menschen, die ihm ein neues Zuhause mit einem gesicherten Balkon oder Freigang geben. Aufgrund der Vorgeschichte sollte er Einzelprinz bleiben. Vermittler: DKSV Kontakt: Frau Heinisch Anzeige vom: 26.07.2026

About Dringend

What life with Dringend looks like

Dringend is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dortmunder Katzenschutz e.V. in Dortmund.

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.
