Hugo &amp

British Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 8 months

Two brothers are typical BKH; carefree, affectionate and up for anything. While Gunther has had a carefree life so far, Hugo hasn't been as lucky. Unfortunately he has had repeated hospital stays since his 3rd month of life due to FLUTD / urinary problems. He is currently on medication but needs 2-3 times daily tablets which he takes without any issues thankfully. At the moment we don't know how it will go with him, as he still always has a too full bladder. We hope for both of them for a miracle, they are very attached to each other and additionally Hugo will need regular check-ups. Unfortunately we don't know how long we can enable Hugo a pain free and worthwhile life. Therefore the brothers urgently seek a home with cat experienced people who are aware of their responsibility even if we have to make a final decision for Hugo at some point. Since Hugo is probably only going to find a home as a foster cat regarding his pee problems, his new home should not be too far from Reutlingen in order to ensure further care by our veterinarians.

Die beiden Brüder sind typisch BKH; unbeschwert, verschmust und für jeden Blödsinn zu haben. Während Gunther ein bisher unbeschwertes Leben hatte, hatte Hugo nicht so viel Glück. Leider hat er seit seinem 3. Lebensmonat immer wieder Klinikaufenthalte wegen FLUDT / Harnproblemen. Aktuell ist er medikamentös eingestellt, braucht aber 2-3x täglich Tabletten, die er zum Glück unkompliziert nimmt. Im Moment wissen wir nicht wie es mit ihm weitergehen wird, da er trotzdem immer wieder eine zu volle Blase hat. Wir hoffen für die beiden auf ein Wunder, den sie hängen sehr aneinander und zusätzlich wird Hugo regelmäßige Check-Ups brauchen. Wir wissen leider nicht wie lange wir Hugo ein schmerzfreies und lebenswertes Leben ermöglichen können. Daher suchen die Brüder dringend ein Zuhause bei katzenerfahrenen Menschen, die sich der Verantwortung bewusst sind, auch falls wir für Hugo irgendwann eine finale Entscheidung treffen müssen. Da Hugo bezüglich seiner Pipi-Problematik vermutlich nur als Pflegestellenkatze ein Zuhause findet, sollte sein neues Heim nicht zu weit von Reutlingen entfernt sein, um eine weitere Versorgung durch unsere Tierärzte gewährleisten zu können.

About Hugo &amp

What life with Hugo &amp looks like

Hugo &amp is a puppy/kitten british shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Hugo &amp, answered.

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