Perlino

Male · Adult · 6 years

When we visited our helper, who lives near Bassacutena, she asked for help for this nice tomcat. Perlino, as she named him, is very unhappy in the cat group there because he is constantly bullied. He hides and is afraid to go back to the cat shelter where the food bowls and sleeping areas are. Our helper is now worried that he might run away or, because he doesn't go to the secure cat shelter at night, be killed by a fox. We would of course also like to prevent that, because Perlino is such a sweet little guy, and we sincerely hope he finds a family that will give him a home for life. Perlino has arrived in his German foster home. Perlino has quickly settled in with his foster family. He gets along well with the cats there. With people, he is very clingy and cuddly, and he would like to be close to them all the time. Perlino is a talkative little guy and likes to make his opinion known with purrs when he thinks it's time for the next meal. Perlino is looking for a home where the people have a lot of time for him. He wouldn't mind the company of a loving, social cat. Would you like to take Perlino into your family? Then we look forward to your message. For our cats, we generally prefer those suitable for apartment living with a cat-safe netted balcony or secured terrace.

Als wir unsere Helferin, die in der Nähe von Bassacutena lebt, besuchten, bat sie uns um Hilfe für diesen netten Kater. Perlino, wie sie ihn genannt hatte, ist in der Katzengruppe dort sehr unglücklich. weil er ständig gemobbt wird. Er verkriecht sich dann und hat Angst, wieder in das Katzenhaus zu gehen, wo die Futternäpfe stehen und die Schlafgelegenheiten sind.Unsere Helferin hat nun Sorge, dass er vielleicht wegläuft oder - weil er abends nicht in das sichere Katzenhaus geht - vom Fuchs getötet wird.Das möchten wir natürlich auch verhindern, denn Perlino ist ein so liebes Kerlchen, dem wir von Herzen wünschen, dass er eine Familie findet, die ihm ein Zuhause für immer schenkt. Perlino ist in seiner deutschen Pflegestelle angekommen. Perlino hat sich schnell bei seiner Pflegefamilie eingelebt. Mit den dort vorhandenen Katzen versteht er sich gut. Den Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich überaus anhänglich und verschmust, am liebsten wäre er immer in ihrer Nähe. Perlino ist ein gesprächiges Kerlchen, er macht auch gern mit Maunzen darauf aufmerksam, wenn es nach seiner Meinung Zeit für die nächste Mahlzeit ist. Der gemütliche Perlino sucht ein Zuhause, in dem die Menschen viel Zeit für ihn haben. Über die Gesellschaft von einer lieben, sozialen Katze würde er sich freuen. Möchten Sie Perlino in Ihre Familie aufnehmen? Dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre Nachricht. Für unsere Katzen bevorzugen wir generell die Wohnungshaltung mit vernetztem Balkon bzw. gesicherter Terrasse.

About Perlino

What life with Perlino looks like

Perlino is a adult cat waiting at ProTier e.V. 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 Perlino, answered.

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