Ketchup

Scottish Fold · Male · Young · 2 years

Ketchup, geboren ca. 2024, kam nach einer Notoperation als Abgabe zu uns ins Tierheim. Der liebe, gemütliche Kater ist ein echter Schmusefreund, der am liebsten entspannt mit seinen Menschen auf der Couch liegt. Er ist verträglich mit Artgenossen und wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er ankommen und Zuneigung genießen darf. Ketchup ist ein Scottish Fold. Diese Rasse leidet unter einer erblich bedingten Knorpel- und Skeletterkrankung (Osteochondrodysplasie), die zu Fehlbildungen, chronischen Schmerzen und Bewegungseinschränkungen führen kann. Auch wenn die Faltohren niedlich erscheinen, sind sie Ausdruck dieser Qualzucht. Langfristig können regelmäßige tierärztliche Kontrollen, Schmerzbehandlungen und weitere Behandlungskosten notwendig werden. Für Ketchup suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause als Zweitkatze, bei Menschen, die sich der gesundheitlichen Risiken und der möglichen langfristigen Kosten bewusst sind und ihm ein fürsorgliches Leben ermöglichen möchten.

About Ketchup

What life with Ketchup looks like

Ketchup is a young adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ketchup, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ketchup?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Köln handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ketchup on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ketchup if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Köln 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ketchup 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 Ketchup 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 Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ketchup 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.
