Franzi

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Franzi – a black lucky charm on quiet paws &; Franzi is a black female cat, born in October 2024, who came to us at the animal shelter as a stray. She has already been neutered and is now waiting for people who can approach her with calm and sensitivity. For now, Franzi is a bit shy and prefers to observe from a safe distance. But those who give her time and exude calm will be rewarded: she will then enjoy being touched and show her gentle, reserved side. Franzi is a quiet cat who doesn't need chaos but rather trust. Black cats have always been considered true bringers of good luck – and Franzi certainly lives up to this beautiful idea. Whoever gives her a home will not only get an elegant velvet paw but also a little portion of luck to go with it. &;&; Franzi wishes for a calm home with people who won't rush her but will give her the time she needs to settle in. From cautious curiosity, trust will surely grow – and perhaps even a lifelong friendship. If you are seriously interested, we would be happy to arrange a meeting.

Franzi – schwarzer Glücksbringer auf leisen Pfoten &; Franzi ist eine schwarze Katzendame , geboren im Oktober 2024 , die als Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim kam. Sie ist bereits kastriert und wartet nun auf Menschen, die ihr mit Ruhe und Feingefühl begegnen. Noch ist Franzi etwas schüchtern , beobachtet lieber erst aus sicherer Entfernung. Doch wer ihr Zeit lässt und Gelassenheit ausstrahlt, wird belohnt: Dann lässt sie sich gerne anfassen und zeigt ihre sanfte, zurückhaltende Seite. Franzi ist eine leise Katze, die keine Hektik braucht, sondern Vertrauen. Schwarze Katzen gelten seit jeher als echte Glücksbringer – und Franzi macht dieser schönen Vorstellung alle Ehre. Wer ihr ein Zuhause schenkt, bekommt nicht nur eine elegante Samtpfote, sondern auch eine kleine Portion Glück gleich mit dazu. &;&; Franzi wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die sie nicht drängen, sondern ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um anzukommen. Dann wird aus vorsichtiger Neugier ganz bestimmt Vertrauen – und vielleicht sogar Freundschaft fürs Leben. Bei ernsthaftem Interesse vereinbaren wir gerne einen Kennenlern-Termin unter .

About Franzi

What life with Franzi looks like

Franzi is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 Franzi, answered.

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