Adopt Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Leo (about 1.5 years old), who we took in as part of a rescue operation in the AS district, is – just like his brother Lu – a real dream cat. Leo loves to cuddle, play, and romp around joyfully with the other fellow animals in our foster home in Pegnitz. Whether small or large cats – Leo really gets along with everyone. He would love to move into his new home together with Lu. The charming Leo has only one tiny weakness: he's a bit of a glutton and would sell his grandmother for a tasty treat. We are happy to receive inquiries at our shelter.

Leo (ca. 1,5 Jahre), den wir im Rahmen einer Einfangaktion im Landkreis AS aufgenommen haben, ist – wie sein Bruder Lu – ein echter Traumkater. Leo kuschelt für sein Leben gern, spielt und tollt ausgelassen mit den anderen Artgenossen unserer Pflegestelle in Pegnitz umher. Ob kleine oder große Katzen – Leo ist wirklich mit allen kompatibel.Am liebsten wäre es ihm daher, wenn er zusammen mit Lu in sein neues Zuhause umziehen könnte. Der charmante Leo hat nur eine klitzekleine Schwäche: er ist etwas verfressen und würde für ein feines Leckerli wohl seine Großmutter verkaufen. Anfragen nehmen wir gerne unter entgegen.

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierhilfe Weidenberg und Umgebung 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. 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 Leo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Weidenberg und Umgebung 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 — Tierhilfe Weidenberg und Umgebung 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 Tierhilfe Weidenberg und Umgebung 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.
