How do I contact the shelter about Monty?

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

Can I adopt Monty if I live in another country?

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

Monty

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Monty is a 2022-born male neutered cat with a social and people-oriented calm personality. He is currently living in an apartment with other cats in Barlad, Romania. Unfortunately, his owner, who is 84 years old, was recently hit by a car and has been trying to recover but can no longer care for so many animals. She and her sister have decided to find a new home for all of them. Monty is looking for a loving home with a cat friend of similar age and character. He would also appreciate a nice window seat or secure balcony, as he is used to living indoors and does not know the dangers on the street well. If you already have another suitable cat at home, please contact my caretaker to ask who I can move in with. Monty has been neutered, received his first vaccinations (distemper, rhinotracheitis, and rabies), is microchipped, and has spot-on treatment and deworming medication. He tested negative for FIV and FeLV via a rapid test. You can find all this information in my EU pet passport. See you soon, Monty

Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Barlad, Rumänien Alter: geb. 2022 Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Charakter: sozial, menschenbezogen, ruhig Besonderheit: keins Keine Einzelhaltung! Hallo ihr lieben Katzenfreunde! Ich bin der Kater Monty und bin auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause. Zur Zeit lebe ich in einer Wohnung gemeinsam mit anderen Katzen. Ich bin sozial und mag auch Menschen gern. Leider können wir alle nicht hierbleiben. Unsere Besitzerin ist 84 Jahre alt und wurde vor kurzem von einem Auto angefahren. Seitdem versucht sie wieder auf die Beine zu kommen, aber die Versorgung so vieler Tiere schafft sie einfach nicht mehr. Schweren Herzens und gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester hat sie nun die Entscheidung getroffen, für uns alle ein schönes, neues Zuhause zu suchen. Ich wünsche mir in meinem neuen Zuhause einen Katzenfreund der zu mir passt, also ähnliches Alter und ähnlicher Charakter. Außerdem würde ich mich über einen schönen Fensterplatz oder sicheren Balkon freuen. Da wir all die Jahre Wohnungshaltung gewohnt sind und deshalb die Gefahren auf der Straße nicht gut kennen, wäre das für uns am sichersten. Wenn bei dir noch keine weitere passende Katze wohnt, dann schreib meine Vermittlerin an und frag, mit wem ich gemeinsam zu dir ziehen kann. Ich bin bereits kastriert und habe die ersten Impfungen erhalten (Katzenseuche, Katzenschnupfen und Tollwut) und bin gechipt. Außerdem habe ich noch Spot on und Wurmkur bekommen. Auf FIV und FeLV wurde ich per Schnelltest negativ getestet. Das alles kannst du in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Bis hoffentlich bald, dein Monty

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
