Jack

Mixed Breed · Male

Hokus Pokus, 3 x black tomcat – no, just one – the sweet Jack…. The young tomcat is one of our Christmas kittens. Fallen from the sky and sprightly! The little savvy man lives with an adult Feltnase in his foster family at the moment. The Big One is his role model and he tries to imitate him in all situations – a sight for gods! Jackie is a typical young plush kitten, clever, cuddly, playful, always on the move, and of course, utterly adorable. Only with strangers sometimes his courage wanes, so he will first peek around the corner cautiously. Our little chocolate bar wishes for a loving home, not too turbulent and maybe with a garden or terrace/balcony in the countryside, because we can imagine that he might also want to experience a little adventure. Experience has shown that the Blacks have it a bit harder, but they know: Whether a black cat brings bad luck depends on whether you are a human or a mouse!

Hokus Pokus, 3 x schwarzer Kater – nein, nur einer – der süße Jack…. Das Katerchen ist einer unserer Weihnachts-Kätzchen. Vom Himmel gefallen und putzmunter! Der kleine gewiefte Mann lebt zurzeit bei seiner Pflegefamilie mit einer erwachsenen Fellnase zusammen. Der Große ist sein Vorbild und er versucht ihn in sämtlichen Situationen zu imitieren – ein Bild für Götter! Jackie ist ein typisches junges Samtpfötchen, pfiffig, verschmust, verspielt, immer in Bewegung und natürlich allerliebst. Nur bei Fremden verlässt ihn manchmal der Mut, da wird erst mal vorsichtig um die Ecke gelugt. Unser kleiner Schokoriegel wünscht sich ein liebevolles Zuhause, nicht allzu turbulent und eventuell mit Garten oder Terrasse/ Balkon in ländlicher Gegend, denn wir können uns vorstellen, dass er auch mal ein kleines Abenteuer erleben möchte. Erfahrungsgemäß haben es die Schwarzen etwas schwer, aber sie wissen doch: Ob eine schwarze Katze Unglück bringt, hängt davon ab, ob man ein Mensch oder eine Maus ist!

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Jack, answered.

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