Manu

Male · Young · 1 year

In early September 2024, our partner Paola received an urgent call: In the nearby village of Pozzo San Nicola, someone had rescued a kitten that had almost been killed by a large tomcat. With great difficulty, they managed to take the tiny kitten away from the tomcat, which naturally did not like it at all and fought back fiercely. But eventually, they held the blood-covered kitten in their hands. The baby had a large wound on its neck; the tomcat had apparently tried to bite its throat out... Paola immediately set off to fetch the severely injured kitten and brought it home, where she promptly provided veterinary care. Then they had to wait and see if the little one—a young tomcat—would make it, as his condition was very poor. We were all very relieved when, after a few days, the danger passed: The little guy fought his way back to life, started to feed independently, and made his first attempts to groom himself. By now, Manu has grown into a beautiful young tomcat. He is very close with Paola and Pierpaolo, but he is initially very cautious around strangers and needs time and patience before he approaches. Many animals live in the house with our partners. We now wish for Manu to soon have the chance to travel to Germany to find his own family here. October 4, 2025: Manu has arrived in his German foster home and is now waiting here for kind people who would like to adopt him. If you would like to give the handsome Manu a loving home, we look forward to your message. He will not be placed in a single-animal home. Generally, we prefer homes that are suitable for apartment living with a cat-safe netted balcony or secure terrace for our cats.

Anfang September 2024 erhielt unsere Partnerin Paola einen Hilferuf: Im nahegelegenen Dörfchen Pozzo San Nicola hatte jemand ein Katzenbaby gerettet, das beinahe von einem großen Kater totgebissen worden wäre. Mit Mühe hatte man das winzige Kätzchen dem Kater weggenommen, was der natürlich ganz und gar nicht gut fand und sich heftig zur Wehr setzte. Aber schließlich hielten sie das blutüberströmte Katzenbaby in Händen. Am Hals des Babys klaffte eine große Wunde, der Kater hatte wohl versucht, ihm die Kehle durchzubeißen … Paola machte sich natürlich sofort auf den Weg und holte das schwer verletzte Katzenbaby nach Hause, wo sie es umgehend tierärztlich versorgte. Und dann musste abgewartet werden, ob der Kleine – es war auch ein Katerchen – es schaffen würde, denn es ging ihm sehr schlecht. Wir alle waren dann sehr glücklich, als nach ein paar Tagen die Entwarnung kam: Das kleine Kerlchen hatte sich ins Leben zurückgekämpft, fing an, selbstständig zu futtern, und unternahm erste Versuche, sich zu putzen. Inzwischen ist Manu zu einem schönen Jungkater herangewachsen. Er ist sehr vertraut mit Paola und Pierpaolo, bei Fremden ist er erst mal sehr vorsichtig und es braucht Zeit und Geduld, bis er sich nähert. Bei unseren Partnern leben viele Tiere im Haus. Für Manu wünschen wir uns nun, dass er bald die Chance bekommt, nach Deutschland reisen zu können, um hier seine eigene Familie zu finden. 04. Oktober 2025Manu ist in seiner deutschen Pflegestelle angekommen und wartet nun hier auf nette Menschen, die ihn adoptieren möchten. Wenn Sie dem hübschen Manu ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchten, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht. In Einzelhaltung wird er nicht vergeben. Für unsere Katzen bevorzugen wir generell die Wohnungshaltung mit vernetztem Balkon bzw. gesicherter Terrasse.

About Manu

What life with Manu looks like

Manu is a large young adult cat waiting at ProTier e.V. 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 Manu, answered.

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