Kitzo

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Ich bin Kitzo … ein besonderer Kater auf der Suche nach einem besonderen Zuhause. Das bin ich: Man sieht es sofort: Ich habe Probleme mit den Augen. Was so lustig aussieht, heißt für mich, dass ich fast gar nichts sehe. Allerdings bin ich sehr freiheitsliebend und das ist ein Problem, denn in den ungesicherten Freigang kann ich natürlich nicht – das wäre viel zu gefährlich für einen fast komplett blinden Kater. Ich bin sehr lebhaft und aktiv und möchte beschäftigt werden. Dabei kann ich allerdings auch ziemlich stürmisch werden. Manchmal verteile ich kleine Liebesbisse oder beiße meinen Menschen in die Beine. Auch Möbel sind vor mir nicht immer sicher. Und leider bin ich selbst bei viel Beschäftigung ausschließlich in der Wohnung nicht richtig happy – deshalb brauche ich gesicherten Freigang. Ich bin durchaus ein verschmuster Kater, brauche aber Menschen, die meine Körpersprache verstehen und wissen, wann es mir zu viel wird. Ich wünsche mir … ein liebevolles, katzenerfahrenes Zuhause, das auf meine Einschränkung und auch auf mein Temperament eingeht. Ich brauche viel Beschäftigung und Aufmerksamkeit, aber auch einen ruhigen Haushalt ohne Kleinkinder. Andere Katzen möchte ich nicht um mich haben. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Dann melde dich über das untenstehende Anfrageformular oder telefonisch im Samtpfötchen-Haus 1 unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Kitzo

What life with Kitzo looks like

Kitzo is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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 Kitzo, answered.

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