Flocki

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Flocki was surrendered to us in a very frightened and withdrawn state. With a great deal of patience and time, he has finally summoned the courage to leave his hiding place. He now shows himself to be very friendly and enjoys being petted. Nevertheless, we would like to place him in a quiet home without loud or boisterous children, so that he does not regress. The new owners should bring some patience and calm, as he appears to be somewhat marked by his previous life and unsure of himself. So far, he has also shown himself to be friendly and interested toward other cats, so living together with other cats would possibly be conceivable.

DE·Show original

Flocki wurde sehr verängstigt und zurückgezogen bei uns abgegeben. Mit viel Geduld und Zeit hat er nun endlich den Mut gefasst und verlässt sein Versteck. Er zeigt sich mittlerweile sehr freundlich und lässt sich streicheln. Dennoch möchten wir ihn an ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne laute/tobende Kinder vermitteln, damit er nicht zurückfällt. Die neuen Besitzer sollten etwas Geduld und Ruhe mitbringen, da er vom vorherigen Leben scheinbar etwas gezeichnet und unsicher ist. Bisher zeigt er sich auch anderen Katzen gegenüber freundlich und interessiert, ein evtl. Zusammenleben mit weiteren Katzen wäre somit denkbar.

About Flocki

What life with Flocki looks like

Flocki is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ludwigshafen 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Flocki, answered.

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