Dumpling

Male · Young · 1 year

Dumpling hat kein gutes Los gezogen und trotzdem ein Herz aus Gold. Der Kater wurde mit einem missgebildeten Schwanz geboren, der ihn aber nicht wirklich stört. Nachdem er fehlte und endlich mit einer Wunde am Bein gefunden wurde, hatte seine Familie kein Interesse mehr. Im Moment wird er erstmal tierärztlich versorgt und braucht dann schnell ganz viel Liebe. Dumpling ist nicht nur ein freundlicher sondern auch verschmuster Kater, der niemand etwas übel nimmt. Kinder sind vermutlich kein Problem, wie er sich mit anderen Katzen verhält müssen wir noch heraus finden.

About Dumpling

What life with Dumpling looks like

Dumpling is a young adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dumpling, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dumpling?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Reutlingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dumpling on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dumpling if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Reutlingen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Dumpling 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 Dumpling 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 Reutlingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dumpling 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.
