Lucky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Lucky the Cuddly Cat Lucky is in his prime; he was born around 2013. This magnificent, muscular tomcat with beautiful green eyes and a glossy coat has never been sick in his life. A blood test from April 2025 is completely unremarkable. In his previous home he had a large territory and even went for walks with his former owner. He does not miss going outdoors at all. In his foster home he is content with a secured balcony and windows, and we wish the same for him in his new home. Lucky was handed over to us because there was no money to provide for his care. This handsome fellow is a calm companion who loves spending time on a lap and enjoys every bit of petting. He is suitable for first-time cat owners, as he has no unpleasant traits whatsoever. A truly "carefree package in black"! For Lucky, we wish for a home with a family that has plenty of time for him. Other cats and dogs should not live there; sensible children aged 12 and up are great. Lucky is neutered, microchipped, and dewormed.

Lucky Schmusekater Lucky ist im besten Alter; er wurde ca. 2013 geboren. Der prächtige muskulöse Kater mit den wunderhübschen grünen Augen und glänzendem Fell war in seinem Leben noch nie krank. Ein Blutbild aus April 2025 ist völlig unauffällig. In seinem früheren Zuhause hatte er ein großes Revier und ist mit seiner ehemaligen Besitzerin sogar spazieren gegangen. Den Freigang vermisst er überhaupt nicht. In seiner Pflegestelle ist er mit einem abgesicherten Balkon und Fenstern zufrieden, was wir uns auch in seinem neuen Zuhause für ihn wünschen. Lucky wurde an uns übergeben, weil kein Geld für seine Versorgung vorhanden war. Der Hübsche ist ein ruhiger Geselle, der gerne die Zeit auf dem Schoß verbringt und jede Streicheleinheiten genießt. Er ist für Anfänger geeignet, da er keinerlei unangenehme Eigenschaften hat. Ein echtes „Sorglospaket in schwarz“! Für Lucky wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei einer Familie, in der man viel Zeit für ihn hat. Andere Katzen und Hunde sollten nicht dort leben; vernünftige Kinder ab 12 Jahren sind super. Lucky ist kastriert, gechipt und entwurmt.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a large senior mixed breed cat waiting at KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten in Bochum.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten 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 — KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten 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.
