Lucky

Male · Adult · 7 years

Mädi, Lucky, and Bubi had to leave their previous home with heavy hearts, as they couldn't adjust to the new family situation and the arrival of the newborn baby. For many years, they had been the undisputed princes and princesses of their home. The changes—the increased noise levels and the altered daily routine—caused great stress for the three cats, eventually leading them to become unclean and feel increasingly uncomfortable. In the meantime, all three have been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, and now eagerly await people who would like to offer them a loving and understanding home. At our facility, Mädi and Bubi are still a bit shy, yet at the same time they’re very cuddly and exceptionally affectionate. Once they’ve gained trust, they thoroughly enjoy being close to their humans and love being pampered. Lucky is currently having a bit more difficulty adjusting to the unfamiliar daily routine of the animal shelter. The hustle and bustle and the many new impressions make him feel insecure, which is why he’s still somewhat reserved and occasionally hisses. However, we know from his previous home that he too is a friendly and lovable cat. With a little time, patience, and understanding, he’ll surely soon reveal his gentle side. Since this charming trio already has several years of life experience under their belts, we’d like to find people who are willing to give older cats a second chance. Mädi, Lucky, and Bubi are fit, endearing, and deserve to spend their golden years in a calm, loving home. Anyone who falls in love with these special velvet paws will gain loyal and grateful companions.

Mädi, Lucky und Bubi mussten ihr bisheriges Zuhause schweren Herzens verlassen, da sie mit der neuen Familiensituation, mit dem neugeborenen Baby nicht zurechtkamen. Viele Jahre lang waren sie die unangefochtenen Prinzen und Prinzessinnen ihres Zuhauses. Die Veränderungen, die neue Lautstärke und der veränderte Alltag bedeuteten für die drei Katzen großen Stress, sodass sie schließlich unsauber wurden und sich nicht mehr wohlfühlten. Inzwischen sind alle drei kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt und gechippt und warten nun sehnsüchtig auf Menschen, die ihnen ein liebevolles und verständnisvolles Zuhause schenken möchten. Bei uns zeigen sich Mädi und Bubi noch etwas schüchtern, sind aber gleichzeitig sehr verschmust und ausgesprochen lieb. Haben sie erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, genießen sie die Nähe ihrer Menschen und lassen sich gerne verwöhnen. Lucky tut sich mit dem ungewohnten Tierheimalltag derzeit noch etwas schwer. Der Trubel und die vielen neuen Eindrücke verunsichern ihn, weshalb er sich momentan noch zurückhaltend zeigt und gelegentlich faucht. Aus seinem früheren Zuhause wissen wir jedoch, dass auch er ein freundlicher und liebenswerter Kater ist. Mit etwas Zeit, Geduld und Verständnis wird er sicherlich bald seine sanfte Seite zeigen. Da dieses sympathische Trio bereits einige Jahre Lebenserfahrung mitbringt, wünschen wir uns Menschen, die auch älteren Katzen eine Chance geben. Mädi, Lucky und Bubi sind fit, liebenswert und haben es verdient, ihren Lebensabend in einem ruhigen, liebevollen Zuhause zu verbringen. Wer sein Herz an diese drei besonderen Samtpfoten verliert, wird treue und dankbare Begleiter gewinnen.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a large adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Lucky, answered.

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