Adopt Luigi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

animal rescuer: Desislava Bogdanova born: approximately April 2025 Gender: male Location: Bulgaria neutered: yes FIV test: negative FeLV test: negative Disabilities: no Compatible with: Children: yes Cats: yes Dogs: not known Requirements: NONE Single housing only suitable for apartment living, NO outdoor access Balcony or terrace desired (if available, the safety is required) The little Luigi was born in an office. His mother, a shy stray, was smart enough to find a protected place for the birth and the following weeks. She only knows life outdoors and does not trust humans. Yet there she found a safe place to raise her son in peace until he was old enough. When our animal rescuer Desi heard about the little tomcat, she took Luigi in so that he could have a chance at a secure life - away from the harsh daily life on the street. Luigi is a quiet, balanced little tomcat. He is not at all shy towards strangers, but curious and open - and when someone sits down next to him, it usually does not take long before he seeks closeness. He likes cuddling very much and enjoys every caress to the fullest. He also gets along well with other cats. He is social, friendly and gets along very well with his fellow animals. Overall, he is simply a kind, pleasant companion who values human company as much as harmonious coexistence with other cats. Now the little Luigi is looking for his forever home. Very important: He doesn't want to be alone. If there is no other cat of his age in the future home, Luigi would gladly bring a playmate from his foster home. Maybe he will soon be able to pack his suitcase and start his new life.

Tierschützerin: Desislava Bogdanova geboren: ca. April 2025 Geschlecht: männlich Aufenthaltsort: Bulgarien kastriert: ja FIV-Test: negativ FeLV-Test: negativ Handicaps: nein verträglich mit: Kindern: ja Katzen: ja Hunden: nicht bekannt Voraussetzungen: KEINE Einzelhaltung nur Wohnungshaltung, KEIN Freigang Balkon oder Terrasse wünschenswert (sofern vorhanden, ist die Sicherung erforderlich) Der kleine Luigi kam in einem Büro zur Welt. Seine Mama, eine scheue Streunerin, war klug genug, sich für die Geburt und die folgenden Wochen einen geschützten Ort zu suchen. Sie kennt nur das Leben draußen und vertraut den Menschen nicht. Doch dort hatte sie einen sicheren Platz gefunden, um ihren Sohn in Ruhe großzuziehen, bis er alt genug war. Als unsere Tierschützerin Desi von dem kleinen Kater erfuhr, nahm sie Luigi bei sich auf, damit er die Chance auf ein behütetes Leben bekommt – fern vom harten Alltag auf der Straße. Luigi ist ein ruhiger, ausgeglichener kleiner Kater. Er ist überhaupt nicht schüchtern gegenüber fremden Menschen, sondern neugierig und offen – und wenn man sich zu ihm setzt, dauert es meist nicht lange, bis er die Nähe sucht. Kuscheln findet er nämlich richtig toll und genießt jede Streicheleinheit in vollen Zügen. Auch mit anderen Katzen versteht sich Luigi gut. Er ist sozial, freundlich und kommt sehr gut mit seinen Artgenossen zurecht. Insgesamt ist er einfach ein lieber, angenehmer Begleiter, der die Nähe zum Menschen ebenso schätzt wie das harmonische Miteinander mit anderen Katzen. Jetzt sucht der kleine Luigi sein Für-immer-Zuhause. Ganz wichtig: Er möchte nicht allein bleiben. Wenn im zukünftigen Zuhause noch keine Samtpfote in seinem Alter wohnt, bringt Luigi gerne einen Spielpartner aus seiner Pflegestelle mit. Vielleicht darf er schon bald sein Köfferchen packen und sein neues Leben beginnen.

About Luigi

What life with Luigi looks like

Luigi is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein 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 Luigi, answered.

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