Tierschützerin: Virginia Georgieva geboren: ca. September 2023 Geschlecht: männlich Aufenthaltsort: Bulgarien kastriert: ja FIV-Test: negativ FeLV-Test: negativ Handicaps: Augenveränderung nach früherer Verletzung verträglich mit: Kindern: nicht bekannt Katzen: ja Hunden: nicht bekannt Voraussetzungen: KEINE Einzelhaltung nur Wohnungshaltung, KEIN Freigang Balkon oder Terrasse wünschenswert (sofern vorhanden, ist die Sicherung erforderlich) Luca gehört zu den Katzen, die im Mai aus einer verlassenen Wohnung gerettet wurden. Ihr Besitzer hatte das Land verlassen und die Tiere einfach eingesperrt zurückgelassen – ohne Futter, ohne Wasser und ohne jede Chance, sich selbst zu helfen. Zum Glück wurde Virginia um Hilfe gebeten. Als sie die Wohnung betrat, bot sich ihr ein furchtbares Bild. Zwischen Schmutz und Verwahrlosung fand sie auch Luca. Seit diesem Tag lebt er bei Virginia im Tierheim, wo er versorgt wird und sicher ist. In der Zeit, die Luca in dieser Wohnung lebte, hat er sich eine Verletzung am Auge zugezogen, die bereits abgeheilt war, als er ins Tierheim kam. Zurückgeblieben sind eine leicht veränderte Pupille und eine dunklere Iris auf dieser Seite. Im Alltag beeinträchtigt ihn das jedoch nicht und er kommt damit bestens zurecht. Luca ist ein rundum lieber und unkomplizierter Kater, den man einfach gerne um sich hat. Er geht offen auf Menschen zu, freut sich über Aufmerksamkeit und zeigt sich dabei immer freundlich und entspannt. Spielen gehört für ihn genauso dazu wie gemeinsame Kuschelmomente. Auch mit anderen Katzen versteht Luca sich prima und genießt ihre Gesellschaft. Mit seiner niedlichen Art macht er es einem wirklich leicht, ihn ins Herz zu schließen. Für Luca beginnt nun die Suche nach jemandem, der sich in ihn verliebt und ihm die Chance auf ein neues Kapitel gibt. Das liebe Kerlchen freut sich darauf, wieder einen festen Platz im Leben zu haben und viele schöne Momente mit seinen Menschen zu teilen.

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein 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 Luca, answered.

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