Manuel

European Shorthair · Male

Hahaaa, I'm Manuel, the brave, the open-minded, and – if you're wondering why I already know everything about you: the curious Manuel! The one no one can match, but you can still give me some food, sure thing. But wait, where are my manners: I'm Manuel, in case you didn't hear it the first time: I'm a tomcat, and I like being stroked, except, uh, my rear end. But I always say exactly what I like and what I don't! I don't like small children. And I don't want other cats around me either.

Hahaaa, ich bin es, Manuel, der mutige, der aufgeschlossene und – wenn du dich fragst, warum ich schon alles über dich weiß: der neugierige Manuel! Der, dem keiner das Wasser reichen kann, aber das Futter, also du kannst mir gerne Futter reichen, jawohl. Aber warte, wo bleiben meine Manieren: Ich bin es, Manuel, für den Fall dass du es nicht gleich gehört hast: Ich bin ein Kater, lasse mich gerne streicheln, außer, äh, an meiner hinteren Hälfte. Aber ich sage immer genau, was ich mag und was nicht! Kleine Kinder, die mag ich nicht. Andere Katzen möchte ich auch nicht in meiner Nähe. Freigang,

About Manuel

What life with Manuel looks like

Manuel is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Manuel, answered.

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