How do I contact the shelter about Peter?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Peter on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Peter if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen 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 Peter 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 Peter 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 Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Peter 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.

Peter

British Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

Peter is a circa 2020 born British Shorthair cat who needs some time to gain trust. He is rather reserved with strangers and doesn't want to be the center of attention right away. Once Peter has met someone and built trust, he shows his other side: He enjoys petting and can be a really cuddly fellow. Unfortunately, Peter doesn't get along well with other cats. Therefore, he would like to move into his future home as a single prince, where he can enjoy the undivided attention of his humans. We are looking for a quiet home for Peter in apartment living, without small children. People who give him the necessary time, let him settle in peace and respect his boundaries will find a wonderful companion in him. So if you want to get to know Peter, don't expect him to jump onto your lap right away at the first meeting. It's worth it to gain his trust - because when Peter has his human in his heart, he shows what a nice and cuddly fellow he is. If you want to get to know him, please click on the "Request cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way we receive all relevant information for an initial conversation in advance.

DE·Show original

Peter ist ein etwa 2020 geborener BKH-Kater, der zunächst ein wenig Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Bei fremden Menschen zeigt er sich eher zurückhaltend und möchte nicht sofort im Mittelpunkt stehen. Hat Peter einen Menschen aber erst einmal kennengelernt und Vertrauen aufgebaut, zeigt er seine ganz andere Seite: Dann genießt er Streicheleinheiten und kann ein richtig verschmuster Kerl sein. Mit anderen Katzen kann Peter leider nicht besonders viel anfangen. Deshalb möchte er sein zukünftiges Zuhause gerne als Einzelprinz beziehen, in dem er die ungeteilte Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen genießen darf. Für Peter suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, ohne kleine Kinder. Menschen, die ihm die nötige Zeit geben, ihn in Ruhe ankommen lassen und seine Grenzen respektieren, werden in ihm einen wunderbaren Begleiter finden. Wer Peter kennenlernen möchte, sollte also nicht erwarten, dass er beim ersten Treffen sofort auf den Schoß springt. Dafür lohnt es sich umso mehr, sein Vertrauen zu gewinnen – denn wenn Peter seinen Menschen ins Herz geschlossen hat, zeigt er, was für ein lieber und verschmuster Kerl in ihm steckt. Wenn Sie ihn kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Peter

What life with Peter looks like

Peter is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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.
