Otto

Male · Kitten · 3 months

Elfie came to us as a found cat on 14.04.26, but she wasn't alone. She had Benjamin and Otto in tow, her two kittens who were just about 2 weeks old at the time of discovery. Benjamin & Otto would like to move out together. Otto is the more curious of the two, kitten-typically open-minded, cheeky and playful. Benjamin and Otto still need to be chipped and receive basic immunization (vaccination). All cats will be treated for endoparasites and ectoparasites at moving time (prophylaxis). General inquiries from interested parties:

Elfie kam am 14.04.26 als Fundkatze zu uns, allerdings war sie nicht alleine. Sie hatte Benjamin und Otto im Schlepptau, ihre beiden Kitten, die zum Fundzeitpunkt gerade mal ca. 2 Wochen alt gewesen sind. Benjamin & Otto möchten gerne zusammen ausziehen. Otto ist der Neugierigere von beiden, kitten-typisch aufgeschlossen, frech und verspielt. Benjamin und Otto müssen noch gechipt und grundimmunisiert (geimpft) werden. Beim Auszug sind alle Katzen gegen Endo- und Ektoparasiten behandelt (Prophylaxe). Allgemeine Interessentenanfrage:

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a small puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Otto, answered.

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