Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Age: born May 2017 | Gender: male | Short description: outdoor cat - reserved | Hello, I am Kuckuck. Why the name, you ask? It's quite simple :-). I always hide and only peek out now and then. I wish I could find a new home where I could roam outside, but... well, cuddling or being petted... that's not my thing :-)

Alter: geboren Mai 2017 | Geschlecht: männlich | Kurztext: Freigänger - zurückhaltend | Hallo, ich bin Kuckuck. Warum der Name, fragt ihr euch? Ganz einfach :-). Ich verstecke mich immer und schaue nur ab und an mal raus. Ich wünschte mir, dass ich ein neues Zuhause finden würde, indem ich draussen rumlungern könnte, nur... also, kuscheln oder mich streicheln lassen... das ist mir nix :-)

About Kuckuck

What life with Kuckuck looks like

Kuckuck is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Meinerzhagen / Kierspe e.V. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kuckuck, answered.

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