Karuso

Scottish Fold · Male · Young · 3 years

Our Karuso was found and unfortunately not reported missing. The Scottish Fold cat is now fully treated by a veterinarian and is ready to find a home. Karuso is very relaxed and rather laid-back. The cat is friendly and people-oriented, but also knows what he wants and what he doesn't. Unfortunately, he suffers from the OCD gene due to his breed and his X-ray already shows symptoms. He is not currently in pain and is not receiving pain medication.

Unser Karuso wurde gefunden und leider nicht vermisst. Mittlerweile ist der Scottish Fold Kater tierärztlich fertig und darf sich auf die Suche nach einem Zuhause begeben. Karuso zeigt sich sehr entspannt und eher gemütlich. Der Kater zeigt sich freundlich und menschenbezogen, weiß aber auch was er will und was nicht. Rassebedingt leidet er leider an dem OCD Gen und sein Röntgenbild zeigt bereits Symptome. Aktuell zeigt er sich noch nicht schmerzhaft und bekommt noch kein Schmerzmittel.

About Karuso

What life with Karuso looks like

Karuso is a young adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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 Karuso, answered.

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