Piet

Male · Kitten

The cat is a European Shorthair male, approximately 2 years old, gray in color. He was brought to the shelter on February 13th, 2026 as a found animal from Neckarsulm. Upon arrival, he had open, crusty spots on his head and neck area, as well as acne on his chin. Examinations suggest an allergy-related skin inflammation with severe itching. Piet is currently being treated, receiving hypoallergenic food and eating from a ceramic bowl. The open skin lesions have since healed. Piet is a sweet and affectionate cat. He loves climbing into his humans' jackets and enjoying their company. He also likes to lie contentedly in the basket next to the computer while they work - as long as he can be there. Piet does not get along well with other cats, which is why we are looking for him a home as a single cat in apartment living. Outdoor access should be avoided at first, as his skin condition may worsen.

Rasse: Europäisch Kurzhaar Geschlecht: männlich Geburtsdatum: ca. 2020 Farbe: grauDer Kater kam am 13.02.2026 als Fundtier aus Neckarsulm zu uns. Bei seiner Ankunft hatte er offene, krustige Stellen im Kopf- und Nackenbereich sowie Kinnakne. Die Untersuchungen deuten darauf hin, dass es sich um eine allergiebedingte Hautentzündung mit starkem Juckreiz handelt. Piet wird aktuell behandelt, bekommt ein allergenarmes Futter und frisst aus einem Keramiknapf. Inzwischen sind die offenen Hautstellen abgeheilt. Piet ist ein lieber und verschmuster Kater. Am liebsten klettert er in die Jacke seiner Menschn und genießt die Nähe. Er liegt auch gerne zufrieden im Körbchen neben dem Computer, während man arbeitet – Hauptsache, er ist dabei. Mit anderen Katzen kommt Piet nicht gut zurecht, weshalb wir für ihn ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze in Wohungshaltung suchen. Auf Freigang sollte vorerst verzichtet werden, da sich seine Hautproblematik möglicherweise verschlechtern könnte.

About Piet

What life with Piet looks like

Piet is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

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 Piet, answered.

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