Adopt Mucky

Male · Kitten

Mucky Breed: European Shorthair – Mix Sex: Male (neutered) Born: 2020 At the animal shelter since: March 20, 2026 Housing: Outdoor access Special note: Mucky is a quiet, rather reserved tomcat who can enjoy cuddles but generally doesn’t feel comfortable in the daily routine of the shelter. He tends to retreat to elevated lookout spots and plays the invisible cat. (As of May 6, 2026) If you are interested in our cats, please contact the animal shelter directly by phone (feel free to leave a message on the answering machine) or by email, providing your phone number, so that further details can be discussed and, if appropriate, an appointment arranged for you to meet the cat.

About Mucky

What life with Mucky looks like

Mucky is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg in Homburg/Saar.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Mucky, answered.

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