Oskar

Male · Senior · 11 years

ängstlich und scheu - zurückhaltend - braucht ein ruhiges Zuhause - stubenrein Oskar kam als Sicherstellung in unsere Obhut. Nun suchen wir ein fürsorgliches Zuhause für den kleinen Kerl. Hier zeigt sich Oskar als sehr ängstlicher und zurückhaltender Kater. Es fällt ihm noch schwer, Vertrauen zu uns Menschen aufzubauen, weshalb er sich zurzeit auch noch nicht gerne anfassen lässt. Außerdem braucht Oskar ein Spezialfutter, das er problemlos zu sich nimmt. Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Trubel und andere Katzen ist genau das Richtige für Oskar. Auch über einen gemütlichen Kratzbaum würde er sich riesig freuen.

About Oskar

What life with Oskar looks like

Oskar is an extra-large senior cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Oskar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Oskar?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Oskar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Oskar if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hamburg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Oskar 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 Oskar 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 Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Oskar 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.
