Harald (reserviert) (Wohnungshaltung)

Unknown · Adult · 7 years

I am about 7/8 years old and lost my home when my owner passed away. For me, this was like a whole world collapsing. When I arrived at the animal shelter, I was very scared. At every sound or unfamiliar person, I would start to tremble and didn't want to be touched; it was just too much for me. But step by step, the animal caretakers have won their way into my heart, encouraged me, and shown me that it's not as scary as I initially thought. Now, I let myself be petted and even turn on my motor. If I gain a lot of trust, I even come up on my own to sit on someone’s lap and offer some warmth. One can’t say that I’m an active tomcat; I prefer lying in my safe den and quietly observing the world. However, if I'm encouraged to play, I’m happy to do my little fitness routine to lose the few extra kilos I carry. I wish for a quiet home suitable for apartment living without children. Ideally, with people who have a lot of time for me and where I am alone as rarely as possible. We are delighted that you are interested in Harald (reserved). Please send us an interest request directly. Then you will become a sponsor for Harald (reserved). Of course, Harald (reserved) is also grateful for individual monetary and material donations.

Ich bin etwas 7/8 Jahre alt und habe mein Zuhause verloren, da mein Besitzer verstorben ist. Für mich ist damit eine ganze Welt zusammengebrochen. Als ich ins Tierheim kam, hatte ich sehr große Angst. Bei jedem Geräusch oder fremden Menschen habe ich angefangen zu zittern und wollte mich auch nicht anfassen lassen, das war mir einfach zu viel. Doch Schritt für Schritt haben sich die Tierpfleger in mein Herz geschlichen, mir Mut gegeben und mir gezeigt, dass es nicht ganz so gruselig ist wie anfangs gedacht. Mittlerweile lasse ich mich streicheln und schmeiße sogar meinen Motor an. Wenn ich viel Vertrauen gefasst habe, komme ich sogar von selbst auf den Schoß und spende etwas Wärme. Man kann nicht behaupten, dass ich ein aktiver Kater bin, gerne liege ich in meiner sicheren Höhle und beobachte die Welt in Ruhe. Doch wenn man mich zum Spielen animiert, dann mach ich gerne meine kleine Fitness Einheit um so die paar Kilos loszuwerden die ich zu viel auf den Rippen habe. Ich wünsche mir ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung ohne Kinder. Am liebsten bei Menschen, die viel Zeit für mich haben und bei denen ich möglichst selten alleine bin. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Harald (reserviert) interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Harald (reserviert). Natürlich freut sich Harald (reserviert) auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Harald (reserviert) (Wohnungshaltung)

What life with Harald (reserviert) (Wohnungshaltung) looks like

Harald (reserviert) (Wohnungshaltung) is a extra-large adult cat waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Harald (reserviert) (Wohnungshaltung), answered.

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