Monty

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 7 months

Update vom 11. 10. Nur Monty blieb zurück und wartet weiterhin, dass er auch bald eine liebe Familie findet, die ihn aufnimmt. Update vom 14. 09. 2026 Monty ist quasi das Hähnchen im Korb dieses Trios. Er zeigt sich auf der Pflegestelle aufgeschlossen, mag es jedoch nicht auf den Arm genommen zu werden. Montys Geschichte: Vom Pechvogel zum Glückskätzchen Der kleine Monty hatte keinen leichten Start ins Leben. Zusammen mit seinen Schwestern Mimi und Mila wurde er in Kroatien aufgefunden. Zum Glück wurden die drei rechtzeitig entdeckt und von einer liebevollen Pflegestelle vor Ort aufgenommen. Hier dürfen die Kätzchen nun behütet heranwachsen, den Ernst des Lebens vergessen und sich auf ihr großes Abenteuer vorbereiten: ein eigenes, sicheres Für-immer-Zuhause! Das ist der süße Monty Monty ist ein typisches, süßes Kätzchen. Da er behütet mit seinen Geschwistern aufwächst, bringt er die besten Voraussetzungen für eine tolle Familienkatze mit: Alterstypisch verspielt: Ob Wollmaus, Spielangel oder Verfolgungsjagd mit den Geschwistern – Monty ist für jeden Spaß zu haben und entdeckt neugierig die Welt. Bereit für die Welt: Bis zu seiner Ausreise im September wird er bestens medizinisch versorgt, damit er gesund und munter in sein neues Leben starten kann. Wichtiger Hinweis zur

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a large kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Alba for Animals e.V. in Oberhausen.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Monty, answered.

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