Goliath

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 4 months

&; Goliath – a small black kitten with a big heart. The little Goliath is a beautiful black European Shorthair kitten born on April 8, 2026, at our animal shelter. At the moment, Goliath is still a bit shy and needs some time to get used to new people and his surroundings. Therefore, we believe a home without small children would be the best fit for him. In a calm environment, he can take his time to settle in and build trust at his own pace. Goliath has not yet been neutered. For his future life, he can be placed either in an apartment—ideally with supervised outdoor access—or as a free-roaming cat. However, Goliath doesn't want to go through life alone. Like every kitten, he needs a suitable feline companion to play, wrestle, cuddle, and explore together. That’s why we don’t place him alone but rather at least in pairs or with another kitten of similar age. Anyone who gives this initially somewhat cautious kitten the time it needs will witness how cautious glances gradually turn into growing trust. &; If you’re seriously interested, we’d be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet appointment by calling . &; What’s important for all kittens: Kittens don’t belong alone. They need a suitable companion with whom they can play, wrestle, cuddle, and gain essential social experiences. That’s why none of our kittens are placed in solitary confinement. Later on, they can live either in an apartment—preferably with supervised outdoor access—or, after proper acclimatization, as free-roaming cats. Anyone deciding to adopt a kitten should also keep in mind: A kitten means time, responsibility, plenty of engagement—and of course, costs. These little ones want to explore their world, need play and attention, and should grow up to become confident, loving cats. In return, they’ll bring their humans many years filled with little adventures and funny moments.

&; Goliath – kleiner schwarzer Kater mit großem Herzen Der kleine Goliath ist ein wunderschöner schwarzer EKH-Kater , der am 08.04.2026 bei uns im Tierheim geboren wurde. Momentan ist Goliath noch etwas schüchtern und braucht ein wenig Zeit, um sich an neue Menschen und seine Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Deshalb sehen wir für ihn ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder als passend an. In einer ruhigen Umgebung darf er in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen und Vertrauen entwickeln. Goliath ist noch nicht kastriert . Für sein späteres Leben kann er sowohl in Wohnungshaltung – idealerweise mit gesichertem Freigang – als auch als Freigänger vermittelt werden. Alleine möchte Goliath jedoch nicht durchs Leben gehen. Wie jedes Kitten braucht auch er einen passenden Katzenkumpel zum Spielen, Raufen, Kuscheln und gemeinsamen Entdecken. Deshalb vermitteln wir ihn nicht einzeln , sondern mindestens zu zweit oder zu einem anderen gleichaltrigen Kitten. Wer einem zunächst etwas vorsichtigen Katzenkind die nötige Zeit schenkt, wird erleben dürfen, wie aus vorsichtigen Blicken langsam Vertrauen wächst. &;&; Bei ernsthaftem Interesse vereinbaren wir gerne einen Kennenlern-Termin unter Telefonnummer . &; Was für alle Kitten wichtig ist Kitten gehören nicht alleine groß. Sie brauchen einen passenden Artgenossen, mit dem sie spielen, raufen, kuscheln und wichtige soziale Erfahrungen sammeln können. Deshalb werden alle unsere Katzenkinder nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt . Sie können später in Wohnungshaltung, gerne mit gesichertem Freigang, oder – nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung – als Freigänger leben. Wer sich für ein Katzenkind entscheidet, sollte außerdem bedenken: Ein Kitten bedeutet Zeit, Verantwortung, Beschäftigung und natürlich auch Kosten. Die Kleinen möchten ihre Welt entdecken, brauchen Spiel und Aufmerksamkeit und sollen liebevoll zu selbstbewussten Katzen heranwachsen. Dafür schenken sie ihren Menschen viele Jahre voller kleiner Abenteuer, lustiger Mome

About Goliath

What life with Goliath looks like

Goliath is a large puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Goliath, answered.

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