Lysander

Male · Adult · 10 years

Here comes Lysander... Where is he? The heavy cat is not easy to miss, but he's making himself invisible at the shelter. If you find him, you'll have a huge cuddly cat who just wants a quiet home. Of course, you should help him lose weight in his new home. Lysander knows how to live with a dog and 2 older female cats. We don't know how he reacts to other cats, but he won't mind a quiet female cat. Lysander can move out alone or with his girlfriend Louie.

DE·Show original

Hier kommt Lysander… Na wo bleibt er denn? Eigentlich ist der schwere Kater nicht zu übersehen, jedoch macht er sich im Tierheim gerade unsichtbar. Findet man ihn, hat man einen riesigen Schmusekater, der sich einfach wieder ein ruhiges Zuhause wünscht. Natürlich sollte man ihn beim Abnehmen in seinem neuen Zuhause kräftig unterstützen. Lysander kennt das Zusammenleben mit einem Hund und 2 älteren Kätzinnen. Wie er auf fremde Katzen reagiert, wissen wir noch nicht, gegen eine ruhige Kätzin wird er nichts einzuwenden haben. Lysander kann alleine oder mit seiner Freundin Louie ausziehen.

About Lysander

What life with Lysander looks like

Lysander is a 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 Lysander, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lysander?
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 Lysander on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lysander 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 Lysander 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 Lysander 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 Lysander 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.
