Adopt Frieder

Mixed Breed · Male

arrived as a stray in a very poor health condition. His fur was totally tangled due to lack of care, and the poor creature had tried to untangle it himself, resulting in unsightly injuries. The new environment currently makes him rather shy, causing him to often retreat into small niches. When found there, Frieder does not react with anger but rather with a bit of insecurity. In a quiet household, understanding people can certainly earn his trust over time. Frieder does not need fellow animals and will feel secure as the sole four-legged member in the new home.

Read original (de)

kam als Streuner in einem sehr schlechten gesundheitlichen Zustand zu uns. Sein Fell war mangels Pflege total verfilzt, und das arme Tier hatte versucht, es selbst zu entwirren, was unschöne Verletzungen zur Folge hatte. Die neue Umgebung macht ihn derzeit noch schüchtern, weshalb er sich oft in kleine Nischen zurückzieht. Wenn man ihn dort entdeckt hat, reagiert Frieder nicht verärgert, sondern eher etwas verunsichert. In einem ruhigen Haushalt können verständnisvolle Menschen langfristig bestimmt sein Vertrauen erlangen. Frieder braucht keine Artgenossen und wird sich als einziger Vierbeiner im neuen Zuhause sicher wohlfühlen.

About Frieder

What life with Frieder looks like

Frieder is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutz Göppingen-Donzdorf in Donzdorf.

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 Frieder, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frieder?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutz Göppingen-Donzdorf 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 — Katzenschutz Göppingen-Donzdorf 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 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 Katzenschutz Göppingen-Donzdorf 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
