How do I contact the shelter about Luis?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Luis if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. 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 Luis 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 Luis 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 Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luis 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.

Luis

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello dear openers of cans, my name is Luis and I am a healthy, very scruffy, playful tomcat, already vaccinated and microchipped. I was born on June 26, 2025, with my two sisters on an abandoned farm, where I cried loudly for our mommy for three whole days, who never came back. I was picked up by kind people at 356g, almost starved, and later brought to our foster mom. There, we were lovingly fed solid food and medically cared for. We also knew right away what a kitten with a litter box was for and did our business there obediently. Since my adoptive mom is only looking for the very best home for me, I can only move out with one of my sisters or with tomcat Max, who has been here for a short while. Max and I like each other very much. It would also be possible for me to join an already existing feline family. I will only be rehomed in a sighted release, secured balcony, and suitable for apartment living. As I have many happy years of cat life ahead of me, please consider carefully if you are the right home for me and love me. If you would like to meet me, please call my home, I look forward to it. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Hallo liebe Dosenöffner, ich heiße Luis und bin ein kerngesunder, sehr verschmuster, verspielter Katzenbube, bereits einmal geimpft und gechippt. Geboren wurde ich am 26.6.25 mit meinen beiden Schwestern auf einem verlassenen Hof, wo ich ganze drei Tage laut nach unserer Mami geweint habe, die nicht mehr zurück kam. Ich wurde dann mit 356g mit meinen Geschwistern, fast verhungert, von lieben Menschen aufgesammelt und später zu unserer Pflegemama gebracht . Dort wurden wir liebevoll feste gepäppelt und medizinisch versorgt . Wir wussten auch gleich, zu was da ein Kisterl mit Streu stand und haben brav unsere Geschäfte dort erledigt. Da meine Adoptivmama nur das allerbeste Zuhause für mich sucht, darf ich nur mit einer meiner Schwestern oder mit Kater Max, der hier auch seit kurzem ist ausziehen. Max und ich mögen uns schon richtig. Es wäre aber auch möglich, dass ich zu einem bereits vorhandenen Katzenkind dazuziehe. Ich werde nur in einen gesichteten Freigang, gesicherter Balkon und Wohnungshaltung vermittelt. Da ich noch viele glückliche Katzenjahre vor mir habe, überlegt bitte genau, ob ihr für mich da seid und mich lieb habt. Wenn ihr mich kennenlernen möchtet, ruft bitte bei mir Zuhause an, ich freue mich. Euer Luis

About Luis

What life with Luis looks like

Luis is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. in Ulm.

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.
