Fridolin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

A tomcat left behind is searching for his people and a new loving home. Fridolin breaks your heart. A little guy who was simply left behind. In an empty apartment. Without food. Without water. And yet, Fridolin hasn’t given up. He could have stayed with the neighbor, but his fear of the other cats was too great. So he sits with us now – quietly, carefully, hopefully – and waits for someone to see him and show him that he will never be forgotten again. Who is Fridolin? So far a house cat, but a free roam is possible if the environment fits. A sensitive, loving tomcat who just wants to arrive. Fridolin wants to be part of a family again. He wants people who notice him, who give him security, and who show him that he is valuable. This cat needs outdoor access. This animal is vaccinated. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Ein zurückgelassener Kater sucht seine Menschen und ein neues liebevolles Zuhause. Fridolin bricht einem einfach das Herz. Ein kleiner Kerl, der einfach zurückgelassen wurde. In einer leeren Wohnung. Ohne Futter. Ohne Wasser. Und trotzdem hat Fridolin nicht aufgegeben. Er hätte eigentlich bei der Nachbarin bleiben können, aber die Angst vor den anderen Katzen war zu groß. Also sitzt er jetzt bei uns – still, vorsichtig, hoffnungsvoll – und wartet darauf, dass jemand ihn sieht und ihm zeigt, dass er nie wieder vergessen wird. Wer ist Fridolin? Bisher Wohnungskatze, aber Freigang ist möglich, wenn die Umgebung passt. Ein sensibler, lieber Kater, der einfach nur ankommen möchte. Fridolin möchte wieder Teil einer Familie sein. Er möchte Menschen, die ihn wahrnehmen, die ihm Sicherheit geben und ihm zeigen, dass er wertvoll ist. Er ist etwa 2 Jahre alt und kastriert und bei Abgabe geimpft

About Fridolin

What life with Fridolin looks like

Fridolin is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Fridolin, answered.

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