Gregor

Unknown

We are urgently looking for a foster home. Gregor came to us in poor condition at the end of June following the passing of his owner. It quickly became clear that he sometimes had breathing difficulties, which is why we kept him at the veterinary clinic for two days. The X-ray results were unremarkable. Blood tests raised suspicion of a parasitic infection, so we performed a test for lungworms. That test also came back negative. At present, we’re still somewhat uncertain about the cause of his breathing noises and are therefore urgently seeking a foster home. This means: no costs for the foster home, but peace of mind for us knowing that Gregor will receive the care he currently needs. General inquiry from interested parties:

Gregor kam Ende Juni nach Ableben der Besitzerin in einem schlechten Zustand zu uns. Ziemlich schnell war deutlich, dass er manchmal Probleme mit der Atmung hatte, weshalb wir ihn für 2 Tage in der Tierklinik ließen. Das Röntgen war unauffällig. Im Blut bestand der Verdacht auf etwas Parasitäres, deshalb wurde ein Test auf Lungenwürmer durchgeführt. Dieser war ebenfalls negativ. Aktuell tappen wir bezüglich seiner Atemgeräusche noch etwas im Dunkeln und suchen deshalb dringend eine Pflegestelle. Dies bedeutet: keine Kosten für die Pflegestelle, aber die Gewissheit für uns, dass Gregor die Versorgung bekommt, die er aktuell benötigt. Allgemeine Interessentenanfrage: Atemgeräusche (noch in Abklärung).

About Gregor

What life with Gregor looks like

Gregor is a small adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

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 Gregor, answered.

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