Frieder

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 16 years

Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: männlich Geboren: 01. 01. 2010 kastriert: ja Vorerkrankungen: - Futtermittelunverträglichkeit - zahnlos Verhalten: - sehr anhänglich und menschenbezogen - verschmust und anschmiegsam - verfressen und kommunikativ Wichtige Hinweise: - möglich als Hauskatze mit gesichertem Freigang Katzen-Senior Frieder kam Mitte August völlig abgemagert und verwahrlost als Fundkater zu uns. Nach längerer Diagnostik wurde eine Futtermittelunverträglichkeit vermutet. Mit speziellem Allergikerfutter ist diese aber gut in den Griff zu bekommen. Ab und zu landet mal ein kleines Häufchen auch neben dem Klo. Doch dies wird immer seltener. Zudem fehlen Frieder leider die meisten seiner Zähne, doch das schränkt den Schmuse-Tiger in keiner Weise ein. Von der ersten Sekunde an hat Frieder durch seine sehr anhängliche und Menschen zugewandte Art unsere Herzen erobert. Er hat Charm und Charakter und weiß beides einzusetzen. Wenn das Essen nicht schnell genug kommt oder zu wenig gestreichelt wurde, kann man schon auch mal laut schreien. Frieder wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause als Freigänger oder mit einem gesicherten Balkon oder einer gesicherten Terrasse.

About Frieder

What life with Frieder looks like

Frieder is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Günzburg in Günzburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Frieder, answered.

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