Orlando

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 1 year

lieb, verspielt, sehr gut verträglich mit Artgenossen - weiter unten lesen Sie mehr Über Orlando Der junge Kater Orlando kennt das Zusammenleben mit Kindern und mit Hunden hat er ebenfalls keine Problem. Genauso gut verträglich ist er mit Artgenossen, was ihn zu einem idealen Zweitkater macht. Im Zimmer sitzt er mit Kater Zazou zusammen, mit dem er sich sehr gut versteht und auch mit ihm ausziehen könnte. Da Orlando den Freigang bereits kennt, sollte er diesen nach der Eingewöhnung auch wieder bekommen.

About Orlando

What life with Orlando looks like

Orlando is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Orlando, answered.

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