Keks

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Keks is a handsome, proud tomcat with a gentle disposition. He enjoys petting and loves to curl up on his human's lap. He shows his affection with nose kisses, head rubs, and vigorous milk kicks that are almost like a mini massage. If he gets too much attention, he shows it in his own way and retreats - because even a tomcat needs some quiet time. Eating is one of Keks' absolute favorite activities. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to the amount of food in his new home so that the handsome gentleman keeps his figure. Keks loves to observe the world outside from the window. Since he is already familiar with life outside his own four walls, he would like to go on an adventure and enjoy outdoor time after a proper adjustment.

DE·Show original

Keks ist ein stattlicher, stolzer Kater mit einem sanften Gemüt. Streicheleinheiten genießt er sehr und am liebsten macht er es sich auf dem Schoß seiner Menschen gemütlich. Dabei zeigt er seine Zuneigung gerne mit Nasenküssen, Köpfchenreiben und kräftigen Milchtritten, die fast einer kleinen Massage gleichkommen. Wird ihm die Aufmerksamkeit einmal zu viel, zeigt er das auf seine eigene Art und zieht sich zurück – denn auch ein Kater braucht manchmal seine Ruhe. Fressen gehört zu Keks' absoluten Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Deshalb sollte in seinem neuen Zuhause unbedingt auf die Futtermenge geachtet werden, damit der stattliche Herr seine Figur behält. Am liebsten beobachtet Keks die Welt draußen vom Fenster aus. Da er das Leben außerhalb der eigenen vier Wände bereits kennt, möchte er nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung auch wieder auf Entdeckungstour gehen und Freigang genießen.

About Keks

What life with Keks looks like

Keks is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Crailsheim in Germany.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Keks, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Keks?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Crailsheim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Keks on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Keks if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Crailsheim whether they will for Keks, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Keks already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Keks. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Crailsheim, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Keks isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Crailsheim about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Keks 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.
