Räuber

Mixed Breed · Male

I am Räuber and yes, the name is a program. I am a small black tomcat, about six months old, and officially a specialist in carefully observing from a safe distance. I find strangers a bit suspect – I admit I picked that up a little from my mom. She was, after all, firmly convinced that humans are very peculiar creatures. But I’m working on developing my own opinion. Right now, it goes something like this – you come in – I look at you – you look at me – I pretend I’m just here by coincidence. If you have patience and don’t try to immediately gather me in or coddle me – the chances are good that I’ll become curious over time. I am, after all, a clever little tomcat who just wants to check if everything is safe first. Outdoors, I know my way around better – I am, in fact, an outdoor cat and find it quite exciting to explore the world. Additionally, I have already been neutered – which I personally consider a very serious trait. It certainly fits with my name. My perfect home would be with people who understand that trust with me is a small project – not a sprint but more of a leisurely stroll. If you give me time, I can imagine that one day not only will I not be the mysterious observer – but also the tomcat who realizes that my people are actually pretty okay. In short – I am Dröber – black – young – cautious – but with potential to be a really good tomcat. Someone with patience could end up with a rather special roommate.

DE·Show original

Ich bin Räuber und ja der Name ist Programm. Ich bin ein kleiner schwarzer Kater etwa sechs Monate alt und offiziell Spezialist für vorsichtiges Beobachten aus sicherer Entfernung. Fremde Menschen finde ich noch etwas suspekt – das habe ich mir ehrlich gesagt ein bisschen bei meiner Mama abgeschaut. Die war nämlich der festen Überzeugung dass Menschen sehr merkwürdige Wesen sind. Ich arbeite aber daran meine eigene Meinung zu entwickeln. Im Moment läuft das ungefähr so ab – du kommst rein – ich schaue dich an – du schaust mich an – ich tue so als wäre ich eigentlich nur zufällig hier. Wenn du Geduld hast und nicht versuchst mich sofort einzusammeln oder zu betüddeln – stehen die Chancen gut dass ich mit der Zeit neugierig werde. Ich bin nämlich eigentlich ein schlauer kleiner Kater der nur erst mal prüfen möchte ob alles sicher ist. Draußen kenne ich mich schon besser aus – ich bin nämlich ein Freigänger und finde es ziemlich spannend die Welt zu erkunden. Außerdem bin ich schon kastriert – was ich persönlich für eine sehr seriöse Eigenschaft halte. Passt ja schließlich zu meinem Namen. Mein perfektes Zuhause wäre bei Menschen die verstehen dass Vertrauen bei mir ein kleines Projekt ist – kein Sprint sondern eher ein gemütlicher Spaziergang. Wenn man mir Zeit gibt – kann ich mir gut vorstellen dass ich irgendwann nicht nur der geheimnisvolle Beobachter bin – sondern auch der Kater der merkt dass seine Menschen eigentlich ganz in Ordnung sind. Kurz gesagt – ich bin Herr Dröber – schwarz – jung – vorsichtig – aber mit Potenzial zum richtig guten Kater. Wer Geduld hat könnte am Ende einen ziemlich besonderen Mitbewohner bekommen.

About Räuber

What life with Räuber looks like

Räuber is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marktoberdorf in Marktoberdorf.

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 Räuber, answered.

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