Adopt Oscar

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

You can't give this animal a home, but still want to do something good for them, come take a look at our wish list: 🍀 Hello, my name is Oscar. The reason I look like a little pirate is because I was hit by a car. Two women witnessed the car hitting me. The driver didn't even brake and just drove away. The women didn't look away and saved me by securing me and taking me to the vet right away. It was determined that my jaw was broken and my eye couldn't be saved. I underwent surgery. My wounds have now healed well, and I am looking for a new family that won't be deterred by my appearance. I am a young tomcat at around 2 years old. My caretakers love me very much, despite my injuries and the pain I endured, I was always friendly. I get along with other cats, but not if they are too pushy. With one eye missing, my field of vision is limited. Therefore, I should be considered more suitable as an apartment cat. An apartment with a fenced balcony would be a dream come true. Small children should not live with you, as I can be easily startled sometimes. Do you think I would be a good fit for you?

Sie könnt diesem Tier kein Zuhause schenken, möchten ihm dennoch etwas Gutes tun, schauen Sie doch gerne bei uns auf den Wunschlisten vorbei: 🍀 Hallo, ich heiße Oscar . Warum ich aussehe, wie ein kleiner Pirat, liegt daran, weil ich von einem Auto angefahren wurde. 2 Frauen haben beobachtet dass ein Auto mich angefahren hat. Der Fahrer hat nicht mal gebremst und ist einfach weitergefahren. Die Frauen haben nicht weggesehen und haben mich gerettet, denn sie haben mich gesichert und gleich zu einem Tierarzt gebracht. Dort wurde festgestellt, dass mein Kiefer gebrochen ist und mein Auge auch nicht mehr zu retten ist. Ich wurde operiert. Meine Wunden sind jetzt gut verheilt und somit suche ich eine neue Familie, die sich von meinem Aussehen nicht abschrecken lässt. Ich bin mit meinen ca. 2 Jahren noch ein junger Kater. Meine Pfleger mögen mich sehr, denn trotz meiner Verletzungen und den Schmerzen, die ich hatte, war ich immer freundlich. Ich vertrage mich mit anderen Katzen, wenn die nicht zu aufdringlich sind. Da mir ein Auge fehlt , ist mein Sichtfeld eingeschränkt. Somit sollte ich eher als Wohnungskater gehalten werden. Eine Wohnung mit eingenetztem Balkon wäre ein Träumchen . Kleine Kinder sollten nicht bei euch wohnen, denn manchmal bin ich schreckhaft. Ihr denkt ich passe zu euch? Dann meldet euch gerne unter der

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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 Oscar, answered.

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