Adopt Lucas

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Lucas is a very shy tomcat. He came to us as a found kitten and still doesn't quite know how to behave around people. He likes to hide a lot and will need time to get used to people. The handsome tomcat is looking for people who can give him time to build trust, understand his shy nature, and accept him as he is. Since Lucas tested positive for FIV, he can only be rehomed as a house cat. Additionally, Lucas has kidney disease and high blood pressure, and he gets special food and blood pressure pills. For Lucas, we hope he can find a quiet home away from the shelter stress, despite his illness and shy nature. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Lucas ist ein sehr schüchterner Kater. Er kam als Fundkater zu uns und weiß noch gar nicht so richtig wie ihm geschieht. Er versteckt sich viel und wird noch Zeit brauchen, um sich an Menschen zu gewöhnen. Der stattliche Kater sucht Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben vertrauen aufzubauen, Verständnis haben für seine schüchterne Art und ihn akzeptieren wie er ist. Da Lucas FIV-positiv getestet wurde, wird er ausschließlich als Wohnungskatze vermittelt. Zusätzlich bringt Lucas eine Nierenerkrankung und zu hohen Blutdruck mit und bekommt Spezialfutter und Blutdrucktabletten. Für Lucas wünschen wir uns, dass er in einem ruhigen Zuhause abseits vom Tierheimstress zur Ruhe kommen darf, trotz seiner Erkrankung und seiner schüchternen Art. Ein katzensicherer Balkon oder ähnliches ist Voraussetzung für eine

About Lucas

What life with Lucas looks like

Lucas is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr 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 Lucas, answered.

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