Harriet, Horacio

Mixed Breed · Female

Harriet, the cat, born around the beginning of 2024, Horacio, born around the end of 2024, all neutered, Harriet and her sons Horacio and Halim (rehomed) from two different litters, come from a wild population where they were fed and are now being captured. Since Harriet and Horacio have not yet had many direct experiences with people, they are consequently shy and will need a lot of time to fully build trust. Our volunteer cat fosters, however, are already working on taming them, and we are optimistic that Harriet and Horacio will eventually become friendly lap cats. The two can be rehomed either as a group, in pairs, or as second cats to already established independent cats.

DE·Show original

Harriet, Kätzin, geb. ca. Anfang 2024, Horacio, ca. Ende 2024 geb., alle kastriert Harriet und ihre Söhne Horacio und Halim (vermittelt) aus zwei verschiedenen Würfen, stammen aus einem Wildbestand, wo sie angefüttert und nun eingefangen wurden. Da Harriet und Horacio noch nicht allzu viele direkte Erfahrungen mit Menschen gemacht haben, sind sie dementsprechend schüchtern und werden viel Zeit brauchen, um vollends Vertrauen zu fassen. Unsere ehrenamtlichen Katzenstreichler sind aber bereits dabei, sie zu zähmen und wir sind zuversichtlich, dass Harriet und Horacio irgendwann freundliche Schmusekatzen werden. Die beiden werden als Gruppe, paarweise oder als Zweitkatzen zu bereits vorhandenen souveränen Katzen vermittelt.

About Harriet, Horacio

What life with Harriet, Horacio looks like

Harriet, Horacio is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 Harriet, Horacio, answered.

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