Ludwig

Male

Our Ludwig is now almost two months with us, as he came to us as a holdover animal from a Messiah household. Now he can finally look for a new home. Ludwig has already grown on all of us. The big tomcat runs right up when called and is simply ONLY friendly. Whether other cats or people, he wants to take a close look at everything. With other cats, he sometimes meets with resistance due to his direct nature but quickly learns and then becomes very popular with everyone. We could definitely introduce him to a social second cat, but he would also be very happy on his own. Children are no problem for Ludwig, but he doesn't need a lot of fuss. Ludwig is actually a total beginner kitten, but he will definitely also be happy with his release later. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Unser Ludwig ist nun schon bald 2 Monate bei uns, da er als Verwahrtier aus einem Messihaushalt zu uns kam. Jetzt darf er sich endlich nach einem neuen Zuhause umschauen. Ludwig ist uns allen bereits ans Herz gewachsen. Der große Kater kommt direkt angerannt wenn man ihn ruft und ist einfach NUR freundlich. Egal ob andere Katzen oder Menschen, alles will er ganz genau unter die Lupe nehmen. Bei anderen Katzen stößt er mit seiner direkten Art manchmal erst auf Abwehr, lernt aber schnelldazu und ist dann bei allen sehr beliebt. Wir können uns ihn durchaus mit einer sozialen 2. Katze vorstellen, er wäre aber auch alleine sehr glücklich. Kinder sind für Ludwig auch kein Problem, viel Trubel braucht er aber nicht. Ludwig ist eigentlich ein totaler Anfängerkater, freut sich später aber definitiv auch wieder auf seinen Freigang.

About Ludwig

What life with Ludwig looks like

Ludwig is a large adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 Ludwig, answered.

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