Peterle

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Peterle is a male black and gray cat with a little gray, who was found alone in a forest by a dog while on a walk. He was very small, only 320g, and his life was in danger. He was taken to a foster home, where he was cared for and grew stronger. He was eventually adopted by a family and has learned to play and get along with other cats. He still enjoys cuddling with his human mom and purrs loudly when he wants attention. He is now 14-16 months old, still a bit small for his age, but is healthy and ready to be adopted. He has been dewormed and has had two vaccinations. He is looking for a forever home, where he can be part of a family and enjoy the outdoors. He would also love to have a younger cat to play with.

Hallo, ich bin Peterle, ich hatte einen ganz schlechten Start ins Leben: Ein Hund hat mich bei Gassi-Gehen in einem Waldstück aufgefunden. Dort lag ich ganz allein im nassen Gras, von meiner Mutter oder weiteren Geschwisterchen gab es leider keine Spur (trotz mehrtägiger Suche). Ich wurde zu meiner Pflegemutti gebracht, ich wog nur 320 g und mein Leben hing an einem seidenen Faden. Aber als kleiner Kämpfer habe ich es geschafft. Am Anfang war ich ganz allein mit meinem Menschen aber dann kamen zum Glück weitere Kitten dazu. Ich habe gelernt mit ihnen zu toben und verstehe mich gut mit ihnen. Von Zeit zu Zeit brauche ich aber immer noch meine Menschenmutti für mich ganz allein zum kuscheln, dann schnurre ich ganz laut und bin zufrieden. Mittlerweile bin ich 14-16 Monate alt, immer noch ein bisschen zart für mein Alter aber OHO! Ich wurde entwurmt und bin schon 2 x geimpft und bereit in meine Familie umzuziehen. Mein Fell ist ganz schwarz mit ein bisschen grau und es glänzt in der Sonne graugetigert. Die Tierärztin hat gesagt, ich sei ein hübsches Kerlchen. Ich kann allein oder zu zweit ausziehen und würde mich auch über eine vorhandene jüngere Katze sehr freuen. Zu zweit macht alles mehr Spaß! Gerne hätte ich auch einen Garten. Wer sich für mich interessiert, melde sich bitte direkt bei meiner Pflegestelle unter .

About Peterle

What life with Peterle looks like

Peterle is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at TSV Tierhilfe Stade 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Peterle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Peterle?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TSV Tierhilfe Stade e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Peterle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Peterle if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TSV Tierhilfe Stade 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Peterle 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 Peterle 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 TSV Tierhilfe Stade e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Peterle 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.
