Fritzi

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Anyone who reaches out and pets young tomcat Fritzi (born around 2022) today will hardly believe his story. He came to us as a feral, unneutered tomcat. The residents were very annoyed by his caterwauling and scent marking and did not want to continue caring for him in his familiar territory after his neutering. Initially, of course, it was not love at first sight between him and us 😉. While we were on a tough search for a new feeding station for him, we naturally took care of him and didn't give up hope of getting him to trust us a bit. And behold, Fritzi began to thaw, a little more each day. When he developed conjunctivitis in between, he actually let us treat him with eye drops. Now we are looking for a home for this treasure, who is an example that many feral cats are not averse to humans at all. If you take the time to engage with them and make an effort, great progress can be made. Fritzchen enjoys having his head scratched and responds with gentle meowing when called. He sometimes playfully nibbles on our fingers with his teeth, but there's no need to be alarmed 🙂. He is a wonderful little guy and deserves more than anything to have a home of his own where he is loved.

Wer mit Katerchen Fritzi (geb. ca. 2022) heute Kontakt aufnimmt und ihn streichelt, kann kaum glauben, wie seine Geschichte ist. Er kam als verwilderter, unkastrierter Kater zu uns. Die Anwohner waren von seinem Katerjammer und den Duftmarken sehr genervt und wollten ihn nach der erfolgten Kastration nicht in seinem vertrauten Revier weiter versorgen. Anfangs war es von seiner Seite aus natürlich nicht Liebe auf den ersten Blick mit uns 😉. Während wir auf der zähen Suche nach einer neuen Futterstelle für ihn waren, beschäftigten wir uns aber selbstverständlich mit ihm und gaben die Hoffnung nicht auf, aus ihm ein bißchen Vertrauen heraus zu kitzeln. Und siehe da, Fritzi taute auf, jeden Tag ein bißchen mehr. Als er zwischendurch eine Bindehautentzündung bekam, ließ er sich dann tatsächlich von uns mit Augentropfen behandeln. Nun suchen wir für den Schatz, der ein Beispiel dafür ist, dass viele verwildert lebende Katzen durchaus dem Menschen gegenüber nicht abgeneigt sind. Wenn man sich mit ihnen beschäftigt und sich um sie bemüht, können tolle Fortschritte erzielt werden. Fritzchen lässt sich gerne am Köpfchen kraulen und gibt mit zartem Miauen Antwort, wenn man ihn ruft. Er knabbert gerne mit seinen Zähnen manchmal an unseren Fingern, da sollte man als Mensch nicht erschrecken🙂. Er ist ein tolles Kerlchen und hätte ein eigenes Zuhause, in dem er geliebt wird mehr als verdient.

About Fritzi

What life with Fritzi looks like

Fritzi is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Baden-Baden in Baden-Baden.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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 Fritzi, answered.

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