Elton John

Mixed Breed · Male

Our Elton John doesn't need the spotlight to win hearts. The lovable cat simply convinces with his friendly and cuddly nature. He enjoys being close to his humans and is happy with lots of petting and attention. Elton John also gets along well with other cats. A home with a suitable furry friend is therefore generally well imaginable. Elton John is FIV-positive. Therefore, we would like to find him a home in secure indoor housing - preferably with a cat-proof balcony - or with other FIV-positive feline friends. FIV is not contagious to humans and other animal species and does not prevent Elton John from living a happy and fulfilling life. Now our little star just needs the right audience for life: people who give him a loving home and let themselves be enchanted by his cuddly nature.

DE·Show original

Unser Elton John braucht kein Rampenlicht, um Herzen zu erobern. Der liebenswerte Kater überzeugt ganz einfach mit seinem freundlichen und verschmusten Wesen. Er genießt die Nähe zu seinen Menschen und freut sich über jede Menge Streicheleinheiten und Aufmerksamkeit. Auch mit anderen Katzen zeigt sich Elton John verträglich. Ein Zuhause bei einer passenden Samtpfote ist daher grundsätzlich gut vorstellbar. Elton John ist FIV-positiv. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause in gesicherter Wohnungshaltung – gerne mit einem katzensicheren Balkon – oder bei ebenfalls FIV-positiven Artgenossen. FIV ist für Menschen und andere Tierarten nicht ansteckend und hindert Elton John nicht daran, ein glückliches und erfülltes Katzenleben zu führen. Jetzt fehlt unserem kleinen Star nur noch das passende Publikum fürs Leben: Menschen, die ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken und sich von seiner verschmusten Art verzaubern lassen.

About Elton John

What life with Elton John looks like

Elton John is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. 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 Elton John, answered.

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