Peterchen

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

We received an appeal that many cats were in distress on an abandoned property. As the animals were not tame, an accommodation in the animal shelter would have been a hardship for them, as all could have continued their lives in freedom. After an adjustment phase in our cat house, the four tomcats and the kitten can now enjoy their freedom in our garden. Whether they will ever be adoptable is still uncertain at this point.

Wir erhielten einen Hilferuf, dass auf einem verlassenen Grundstück viele Katzen in Not sind. Da die Tiere nicht zahm waren, wäre eine Unterbringung im Tierheim eine Qual für sie geworden, da alle ihr bisheriges Leben in Freiheit verbringen konnten. Nach einer Eingewöhnungsphase in unserem Katzenhaus können nun die vier Kater und das Kätzchen ihre Freiheit bei uns im Garten genießen. Ob sie je vermittelbar werden, kann man im Moment noch nicht abschätzen. Letschow, im Mai 2013

About Peterchen

What life with Peterchen looks like

Peterchen is a medium-sized senior mixed breed cat waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

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. 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 Peterchen, answered.

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