Hotzenplotz

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

The tomcat Hotzenplotz was found in Blomberg around mid-May. Unfortunately, he is missing a tail, perhaps that's why he was abandoned. Hotzenplotz manages with his handicap quite well. He is friendly and affectionate, though he can still be a bit unsure at times. The little robber baron would feel comfortable in a more tranquil environment and would enjoy a free roam in a traffic-free area after settling in. Shelter account: Tierschutz der Tat e.V. This cat needs outdoor access.

Der Kater Hotzenplotz wurde Mitte Mai in Blomberg gefunden. Leider fehlte ihm der Schwanz, vielleicht wurde er deshalb im Stich gelassen. Hotzenplotz kommt mit seinem Handikap gut zurecht. Er zeigt sich lieb und freundlich und ist nur manchmal noch etwas unsicher. Der kleine Räuberhauptmann würde sich in einem eher ruhigen Umfeld wohlfühlen und hätte nach der Eingewöhnung gern Freigang in möglichst verkehrsarmer Umgebung.

About Hotzenplotz

What life with Hotzenplotz looks like

Hotzenplotz is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Detmold in Detmold.

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 Hotzenplotz, answered.

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