Pietro

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Pietro zeigt sich bei uns als sehr zutraulicher und verschmuster Kater. Er sucht gerne die Nähe zu Menschen, genießt Aufmerksamkeit und lässt sich ausgiebig kraulen. Mit anderen Katzen kommt er gut zurecht und kann problemlos mit Artgenossen zusammenleben. Leider wurde Pietro positiv auf FIV getestet. FIV ist nicht auf Menschen oder andere Tierarten übertragbar, kann jedoch Katzen untereinander übertragen werden. Daher sucht Pedro ein Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung oder einen gesicherten Freigang, um andere Katzen nicht zu gefährden. Zusätzlich leidet Pietro an einer Pododermatitis, einer Entzündung der Fußballen. Diese kann sich durch verdickte, weichere oder leicht geschwollene Ballen zeigen. Aktuell beeinträchtigt ihn dies nicht wesentlich, dennoch sollten seine Pfoten regelmäßig kontrolliert und bei Veränderungen tierärztlich untersucht werden. Pietro ist ein freundlicher und unkomplizierter Kater, der sich über ein liebevolles Zuhause freut, in dem man seine gesundheitlichen Besonderheiten im Blick behält und ihm viele Kuschelstunden schenkt.

About Pietro

What life with Pietro looks like

Pietro is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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 Pietro, answered.

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