Friedrich

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Our unneutered Friedrich had apparently been wandering around as a stray for quite some time. Now, in his old age, he found shelter with an elderly lady, but she couldn't care for the severely ill animal and asked us for help. Friedrich has many "construction sites," but we first had to start with neutering and treating him for worms and the many little crawlies on him. Friedrich is a very affectionate, though very emaciated, tomcat who seeks the company of humans. Unfortunately, the other cats don't like him and avoid him, which is very sad. He eats voraciously and clears everything in sight. Therefore, we had to place him in individual housing, as he reacts to the large amount of food with diarrhea, and the other cats always sat in front of the empty plate.

Unser nicht kastrierter Friedrich war wohl schon lange als Streuner unterwegs. Nun hatte er auf seine alten Tage Halt bei einer ebenfalls alten Dame gemacht, die sich aber nicht um das schwer kranke Tier kümmern konnte und uns um Hilfe bat. Friedrich hat sehr viele „Baustellen“, doch wir mussten natürlich erst einmal mit der Kastration und der Behandlung gegen Würmer und den vielen kleinen Krabbeltierchen auf ihm beginnen. Friedrich ist ein sehr verschmuster lieber Kater , der die Nähe der Menschen sucht. Leider mögen ihn die anderen Katzen nicht und meiden ihn, was sehr traurig ist. Er frisst für sein Leben gern und putzt alles weg, was zu finden ist. Daher mussten wir ihn jetzt in Einzelhaltung unterbringen, da er auf das viele Futter mit Durchfall reagiert und die anderen Katzen immer vor dem leeren Teller saßen. Letschow, im April 2020

About Friedrich

What life with Friedrich looks like

Friedrich is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

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 Friedrich, answered.

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