Lucky (Wohnungshaltung)

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

“Siblings get along for a lifetime” is usually true, but there are exceptions—just like with the pair of cats Lucky and Sissi, born in 2021, who until recently lived happily and securely with a kind family. Tragically, however, when the husband passed away, so did the cat Lucky’s primary caregiver, after which Lucky began showing marked signs of inappropriate elimination. Although the owner tried everything possible over an extended period to ease Lucky’s grief, she ultimately could no longer cope with this type of feline protest and, with a heavy heart, handed the two cats over to our animal welfare association. Without going through the usual quarantine period, the impeccably vaccinated cat pair was immediately moved into one of the multi-cat rooms at the shelter. Despite the radically changed environment, Lucky’s inappropriate elimination surprisingly subsided within just a few days, and since then he has been dutifully using one of the litter boxes. Yet this didn’t solve all the problems, as Lucky started bullying his sister Sissi in a nasty way—a behavior he had never displayed in his previous home. Unfortunately, our hope that this problematic behavior would soon pass and that the two could move together into a new home proved futile. Therefore, we’ve now decided to place Lucky and Sissi in separate homes. Lucky is a very people-oriented fellow who is always seeking affection. He has previously lived exclusively indoors and is now looking for a new environment in a spacious apartment with secure access to the outdoors. Lucky tends to favor the more comfortable side of life; he loves long, cozy cuddles and a calm daily routine. The neutered tomcat no longer cares much about the presence of other cats. Given Lucky’s background, it would be ideal if his future adoptive family wouldn’t leave him alone all day, because this sensitive cat needs once again a human whom he can fully trust and who can devote plenty of time and attention to him.

"Geschwisterkatzen vertragen sich ein Leben lang" stimmt zwar meistens, aber es gibt auch Ausnahmen.So, wie beim 2021 geborenen Katzenpärchen Lucky und Sissi, das bis vor Kurzem noch wohlbehütet bei einer netten Familie lebte.Doch tragischerweise verstarb mit dem Ehemann auch die Bezugsperson von Kater Lucky, der daraufhin ausgeprägte Unsauberkeit zeigte. Obwohl die Besitzerin über längere Zeit noch alles Erdenkliche versuchte, Luckys Verlust zu mildern, konnte sie letztendlich nicht mehr mit dieser Art von kätzischem Protest umgehen und übereignete schweren Herzens die beiden Katzen unserem Tierschutzverein.Ohne Umweg über die sonst übliche Quarantäne konnte das vorbildlich gültig geimpfte Katzenpärchen gleich in einen der Mehrkatzenräume im Tierheim umziehen. Trotz der radikal veränderten Umgebung legte sich Luckys Unsauberkeit überraschenderweise bereits nach wenigen Tagen und er benutzt seitdem brav eines der Katzeklos.Doch damit waren nicht alle Probleme gelöst, denn Lucky begann, seine Schwester Sissi auf üble Weise zu mobben, ein Verhalten, das er in seinem alten Zuhause nicht zeigte. Die Hoffnung, dass sich auch dieses Fehlverhalten von Lucky schnell wieder geben würde und die beiden gemeinsam in ein neues Zuhause umziehen könnten, war leider vergebens.Deshalb haben wir uns inzwischen entschlossen, Lucky und Sissi getrennt voneinander zu vermitteln.Lucky ist ein sehr menschenbezogenes Kerlchen und immer auf der Suche nach Zuwendung.Er lebte bisher in reiner Innenhaltung und sucht nun einen neuen Wirkungskreis in einer geräumigen Wohnung mit gesichertem Freisitz. Lucky steht eher auf der gemütlichen Seite des Lebens, er schätzt ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten und einen ruhigen Tagesablauf.Auf die Anwesenheit von Artgenossen legt der kastrierte Kater inzwischen keinen Wert mehr.Wegen Luckys Vorgeschichte ist es wünschenswert, dass die künftige Besitzerfamilie ihn nicht den ganzen Tag alleine lassen wird, denn der sensible Kater braucht wieder einen Menschen, dem er voll und ganz vertrauen kann und der ihm viel Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit schenken kann.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lucky (Wohnungshaltung), answered.

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