Ostermann

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Ostermann - a very special cat is looking for his luck Ostermann is an approximately 3-5 year old male cat with a very special fate. As an outdoor cat, he had an accident in which he lost his right eye. He has since recovered well and copes wonderfully with his disability. Since his field of vision is permanently restricted, Ostermann can no longer be placed for outdoor access. However, he has arranged himself wonderfully with a secured balcony and enjoys observing the world from there. Ostermann is an exceptionally loving, affectionate and people-oriented cat. He loves attention and enjoys every caress. He also gets along well with other cats. The handsome male cat is neutered, tattooed, microchipped, vaccinated and dewormed and therefore ready for the move to his new home. We wish Ostermann loving people who will give him a safe home in apartment living with a networked balcony. Whoever gets to know him quickly realizes that his missing eye does not detract from his joie de vivre. Who would like to give this charming cat the chance for a fresh start?

DE·Show original

Ostermann – ein ganz besonderer Kater sucht sein Glück Ostermann ist ein etwa 3–5 Jahre alter Kater mit einem ganz besonderen Schicksal. Als Freigänger hatte er einen Unfall, bei dem er sein rechtes Auge verlor. Inzwischen hat er sich davon gut erholt und kommt mit seiner Einschränkung bestens zurecht. Da sein Gesichtsfeld dauerhaft eingeschränkt ist, kann Ostermann nicht mehr in den Freigang vermittelt werden. Mit einem gesicherten Balkon hat er sich jedoch wunderbar arrangiert und genießt es, die Welt von dort aus zu beobachten. Ostermann ist ein ausgesprochen lieber, anhänglicher und menschenbezogener Kater. Er liebt Aufmerksamkeit und freut sich über jede Streicheleinheit. Auch mit anderen Katzen ist er gut verträglich. Der hübsche Kater ist kastriert, tätowiert, gechippt, geimpft und entwurmt und somit bereit für den Umzug in sein neues Zuhause. Für Ostermann wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen, die ihm ein sicheres Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit vernetztem Balkon schenken. Wer ihn kennenlernt, merkt schnell, dass sein fehlendes Auge seiner Lebensfreude keinen Abbruch tut. Wer möchte diesem charmanten Kater die Chance auf einen Neuanfang geben?

About Ostermann

What life with Ostermann looks like

Ostermann is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V..

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 Ostermann, answered.

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