Adopt Krümelmonster

Female

Krümelmonster Breed: European Shorthair – Mix Sex: Female (neutered) Born: 2025 At the animal shelter since: 12.2025 (foster home) Housing: Suitable for apartment living, secured outdoor access Special Notes / Krümelmonster is a very human-oriented cat who loves attention from her people but also enjoys entertaining herself (much to the delight of her housemates—she’s a bit of a little troublemaker). Initially, she showed great interest and curiosity toward other cats—sometimes, unfortunately, too much curiosity. The resident cats (mostly older and calmer) didn’t always appreciate her overly eager approaches and often responded defensively, so Krümelmonster has since become more reserved in her social behavior within this household. She adores both playtime and cuddles alike. A wand toy can keep her happily occupied for a long time—chasing through the house or stealthily stalking some unfortunate "prey" brings her immense joy. She occasionally engages in playful "battles" with a hand but usually refrains from scratching or biting, making a clear effort to be gentle with her humans. Krümelmonster is looking for people with plenty of time, energy, willingness, or know-how to keep her thoroughly entertained. Due to her young age, she’d prefer younger caregivers. Her new home should be spacious and ideally offer secured(!) outdoor access. If you’re interested in our cats, please contact the animal shelter directly by phone (feel free to leave a message on the answering machine) or by email, including your phone number, so we can discuss further details and, if appropriate, arrange a meeting.

Krümelmonster Rasse Europäisch Kurzhaar – Mix Geschlecht weiblich (kastriert) Geboren *2025 Im Tierheim seit 12.2025 (Pflegestelle) Haltungsform Wohnungshaltung, gesicherter Freigang Besonderheit / Krümelmonster ist eine sehr menschenbezogene Kätzin, die die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen liebt, sich aber auch gerne selbst beschäftigt (zur Freude aller Mitbewohner – sie ist ein kleiner Troublemaker). Anderen Katzen gegenüber zeigte sie sich anfangs sehr zugewandt und neugierig – manchmal leider zu neugierig. Die Katzen im Haushalt (meist älter und eher ruhig) fanden ihre unvorsichtigen Annäherungsversuche nicht unbedingt passend und reagierten eher abwehrend, weshalb sich Krümel in Sachen Sozialverhalten in diesem Bestand nun eher zurückzieht. Desweiteren liebt sie sowohl Spiel- als auch Streicheleinheiten. Mit der Katzenangel kann man sie sehr lange beschäftigen – das Jagen durchs Haus oder Anpirschen an eine unglückliche Beute machen ihr eine riesen Freude. Kleine ‚Kämpfe‘ mit der Hand hält sie auch ab und zu ab, hält sich aber meistens mit Kratzen und Beißen zurück – sie bemüht sich zur Vorsicht gegenüber ihren Menschen. Krümelmonster wünscht sich Menschen mit viel Zeit und der nötigen Energie bzw Willen oder Know-How sie ausgiebig zu bespaßen. Aufgrund ihres jungen Alters lieber jüngere Dosenöffner. Ihr neues Zuhause sollte großräumig sein und gerne die Möglichkeit auf gesicherten(!) Freigang bieten. Wenn Sie Interesse an unseren Katzen haben, melden Sie sich bitte direkt telefonisch im Tierheim unter (gerne Nachricht auf AB hinterlassen) oder per Mail mit Angabe Ihrer Telefonnummer an , dann kann Näheres besprochen und gegebenenfalls ein Termin zum Kennenlernen ausgemacht werden.

About Krümelmonster

What life with Krümelmonster looks like

Krümelmonster is a large adult cat waiting at Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg in Homburg/Saar.

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 Krümelmonster, answered.

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