Durian

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Unser Durian ist ein absoluter Schmusekater, der die Nähe zu seinen Menschen über alles liebt. Am liebsten hält er sich im Außenbereich auf und wartet dort schon sehnsüchtig darauf, dass jemand zu ihm kommt. Sobald man bei ihm ist, drückt er seinen Kopf liebevoll in die Hand und kann gar nicht genug von Streicheleinheiten bekommen. Besonders genießt er es, wenn man ihm sanft das Genick krault. Mit Kätzinnen versteht sich Durian besonders gut. Deshalb kann er entweder als Einzelkater oder zu einer passenden Kätzin vermittelt werden. Für sein neues Zuhause wünschen wir uns Freigang, damit Durian die Welt entdecken und anschließend glücklich zu seinen Menschen zum Kuscheln zurückkehren kann.

About Durian

What life with Durian looks like

Durian is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kreistierheim Böblingen in Germany.

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 Durian, answered.

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