Fussel

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

As soon as she has gained trust, she is very cuddly and snuggles up and lies on top of or near her body. She is very relaxed during the day and prefers to sleep where the people spend most of their time (couch, chairs) rather than in her little bed. For her 9 years, she is still quite quick on her feet. She loves chasing strings, catching treats, or rolling a ball back and forth. Unfortunately, she is still quite skittish. It takes some time and patience for her to trust someone. Fussel has no teeth left due to severe mouth infections; during dental work, the remaining teeth had to be removed. Additionally, it remains a human responsibility to assist Fussel with her facial hygiene. Even though she often does it herself, sometimes she needs help.

DE·Show original

Sobald sie Vertrauen gefasst hat, ist sie sehr verschmust und verkuschelt und liegt auf einem drauf oder in Körpernähe. Sie ist tagsüber sehr entspannt und schläft lieber gerne dort, wo sich die Menschen am meisten aufhalten (Couch, Stühle) als in ihrem Bettchen. Sie ist für ihre 9 Jahre aber noch richtig schnell unterwegs. Sie liebt es Bänder um die Ecke zu jagen, Leckerlis zu fangen oder einen Ball hin und her zu kullern. Leider ist sie aber dennoch schreckhaft. Am Anfang braucht es etwas Zeit und Geduld bis sie sich einem anvertraut. Fussel hat keine Zähne mehr, bzgl. starke Entzündungen im Maul, musste bei der Zahnsanierung die restlichen Zähne gezogen werden. Weiterhin bleibt es eine Menschenaufgabe, Fussel bei ihrer Gesichtshygiene zu untersützen. Auch wenn sie es oft selber macht, braucht es manchmal Unterstützung. Fussel wird nach erfolgreicher Vorkontrolle als Einzelkatze vermittelt.

About Fussel

What life with Fussel looks like

Fussel is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Frankfurt e.V. in Frankfurt.

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 Fussel, answered.

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