Adopt Osaka

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Our Osaka playing with his friend Kairo - Video Our Osaka - Petting video Our Osaka playing and petting - Video Our Osaka is a curious and open-minded tomcat who readily comes down from the scratching post as soon as someone enters the room. He is particularly excited by playtime and shows his playful side. At the same time, he greatly enjoys cuddles and can then wonderfully calm down – a well-rounded companion. Osaka strongly relies on his friend Kairo and feels especially safe in his presence. Therefore, the two of them will only be rehomed together. For them, we wish a home with outdoor access where they can discover the world together and then relax afterward.

Unser Osaka mit seinem Freund Kairo beim Spielen - Video Unser Osaka - Streichelvideo Unser Osaka beim Spielen und Streicheln - Video Unser Osaka ist ein neugieriger und aufgeschlossener Kater, der gern vom Kratzbaum herunterkommt sobald man das Zimmer betritt. Besonders Spielangeln begeistern ihn und zeigen seine verspielte Seite. Gleichzeitig genießt er Streicheleinheiten sehr und kann danach wunderbar zur Ruhe kommen – ein rundum ausgeglichener Begleiter. Osaka orientiert sich stark an seinem Freund Kairo und fühlt sich in seiner Nähe besonders sicher. Deshalb werden die beiden nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Für sie wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem sie zusammen die Welt entdecken und anschließend entspannt zur Ruhe kommen können.

About Osaka

What life with Osaka looks like

Osaka is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kreistierheim Böblingen 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 Osaka, answered.

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