How do I contact the shelter about Leo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelenkatzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Leo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Leo 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 Leo 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo 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.

Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Leo, a male, neutered cat, born around 2023/2024, is a calm and friendly cat who desires a quiet feline companion in his future home (no single-cat households). He is very people-oriented. Leo has a disability, having lost a leg, likely due to an accident on the street. He is not suitable for outdoor living. He is a pure indoor cat. I am Leo, the cat, and I have had a tough life. I was found on the street, already having lost a leg, and everything had healed. Something terrible must have happened to me in the past. I was found near a train station, which was very dangerous for a cat and suggests something bad happened to me. It's possible someone took me to a vet after the accident, as my stump seems well-healed. But I was then put back on the street, and as a disabled cat, it's even more dangerous. Now I have finally found some luck in my life, as someone noticed me and I am in a foster home. Here, I am well cared for and can finally breathe, finally rest, finally sleep deeply! That's so wonderful! But I can't stay here forever. So I'm looking for a real home where I can stay forever. I never want to go back to the street! With my three legs, I get along well. I can even climb onto a chair and get on the table, I find my way and don't give up. In my future home, I wish for a kind person or several, as I really love people and enjoy being petted and cuddled. It would be nice if you have a suitable cat or male cat as a partner, preferably someone calm. I can also bring someone from here. Then we could travel together to you. I have been neutered and have already received my initial vaccinations against cat flu and distemper, have been dewormed and de-fleaed, and if I travel to you, I will receive a microchip and a rabies vaccination. I will also be tested for FIV and FeLV. You can read all this in my EU pet passport. Then my caregiver will contact you and you can discuss everything further. This is Leo!

Standort: Rumänien, Orastie Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geboren: ca. 2023/2024 Charakter: total entspannt Artgenossen gegenüber. Wünscht sich einen ruhigen Katzenfreund im künftigen Zuhause (keine Einzelhaltung). Sehr menschenbezogen. Handicap: Dreibeinchen. Leo hat ein Bein verloren, vermutlich durch einen Unfall auf der Straße. Leo wird nicht in den Freigang vermittelt. Reine Wohnungshaltung. Ich bin der Kater Leo und ich muss in meinem bisherigen Leben schon einiges durchgemacht haben. Ich wurde auf der Straße gefunden, da hatte ich bereits ein Bein verloren und alles war verheilt. Irgendetwas Schreckliches muss mir in der Vergangenheit passiert sein. Gefunden wurde ich an einer Bahnstrecke an einem Bahnhof. Und dort war es wirklich zu gefährlich für eine Katze und lässt Schlimmes vermuten was mir passiert ist. Es könnte sein, dass mich damals (nach dem Unfall) jemand zu einem Tierarzt gebracht hat, denn mein Beinstumpf scheint gut verheilt zu sein. Aber leider wurde ich dann wieder auf die Straße gesetzt und als Handicap Kater ist das noch gefährlicher da draußen, als normalerweise. Nun habe ich endlich etwas Glück in meinem Leben, denn jemand wurde auf mich aufmerksam und nun befinde ich mich auf einer Pflegestelle. Hier werde ich gut versorgt und kann endlich durchatmen, endlich mal zur Ruhe kommen, endlich mal tief schlafen! Das ist so wunderbar! Aber für immer blieben kann ich hier nicht. Daher wünsche ich mir ein richtiges Zuhause, in dem ich dann für immer bleiben darf. Zurück auf die Straße möchte ich nie wieder! Mit meinen drei Beinen komme ich übrigens gut zurecht. Über einen Stuhl bringe ich auch gern mal auf den Tisch, ich finde meinen Weg und lasse mich nicht unterkriegen. In meinem künftigen Zuhause wünsche ich mir einen lieben Menschen oder auch mehrere, denn ich mag Menschen wirklich sehr und liebe es gestreichelt zu werden und zu kuscheln. Es wäre schön, wenn du eine passende Katze oder Kater für mich als Partner hast, gern jemanden Ruhiges. Ich kann auch wen von hier mitbringen. Dann könnten wir zusammen zu dir reisen. Ich wurde kastriert und habe schon meine Erstimpfungen gegen Katzenschnupfen und -seuche erhalten, bin entwurmt und entfloht und wenn ich zu dir reise erhalte ich noch einen Mikrochip und eine Tollwutimpfung. Auch werde ich noch auf FIV und FelV getestet. Das kannst du dann alles in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Dann wird sich meine Vermittlerin bei dir melden und ihr könnt alles Weitere besprechen. Dein Leo!

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
