How do I contact the shelter about Fredo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Oellschuetz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fredo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Fredo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Oellschuetz 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 Fredo 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 Fredo 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 Tierheim Oellschuetz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fredo 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.

Fredo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Name: Fredo Age: 01.01.2025. Gender: male, neutered This tomcat unfortunately had to experience what it's like to lose a home again. He was already rehomed and lived there in pure apartment suitability. Over time, however, it became clear that he was becoming increasingly untidy. After much consideration, veterinary examinations, and attempts to find and address the cause, it was finally determined that this type of housing was not right for him. With a heavy heart, he returned to the animal shelter. The tomcat is in good health and has been examined by a veterinarian. Organic causes have been treated or ruled out. It seems that he simply has different needs and requires more freedom than pure indoor living can provide. He wants to be able to decide for himself when to retreat and when to explore his surroundings. In terms of character, he is very people-oriented, friendly, and absolutely non-aggressive. He seeks the company of his trusted people, loves to cuddle, and enjoys attention. He is pleasant to be around and displays a calm, balanced nature. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Name: FredoAlter: 01.01.2025. Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Dieser Kater musste leider schon einmal erfahren, wie es ist, ein Zuhause wieder zu verlieren. Er war bereits vermittelt und lebte dort in reiner Wohnungshaltung. Im Laufe der Zeit zeigte sich jedoch, dass er zunehmend unsauber wurde. Nach langem Überlegen, tierärztlichen Abklärungen und dem Versuch, die Ursache zu finden und zu beheben, stand schließlich fest, dass diese Haltungsform für ihn nicht die richtige war. Schweren Herzens kam er deshalb zurück ins Tierheim. Der Kater ist gesundheitlich versorgt und tierärztlich vorgestellt worden. Organische Ursachen konnten behandelt bzw. ausgeschlossen werden. Vieles deutet darauf hin, dass er einfach andere Bedürfnisse hat und mehr Freiheit braucht, als ihm reine Innenhaltung bieten kann. Er möchte selbst entscheiden dürfen, wann er sich zurückzieht und wann er seine Umgebung erkundet. Charakterlich zeigt er sich als sehr menschenbezogen, freundlich und absolut nicht aggressiv. Er sucht die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen, kuschelt gerne und genießt Aufmerksamkeit. Dabei ist er angenehm im Umgang und zeigt ein ruhiges, ausgeglichenes Wesen. Er kann gut mit Artgenossen zusammenlebe

About Fredo

What life with Fredo looks like

Fredo is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Oellschuetz 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.

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.
