Pilly

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Pilly is approximately 5 years old. He is a free-roaming, neutered and friendly cat, except when playing, as he can be somewhat uncontrolled and rough. Unfortunately, his owner has moved to a nursing home and cannot take care of him anymore. Pilly has been living alone in his owner's house for three months now. This is not a permanent situation. Therefore, we are looking for a new home for him. Interested parties please contact us, we will then forward it to the family for further contact. 😻💖🙏

DE·Show original

Kater Pilly ist circa 5 Jahre alt. Er ist ein Freigänger, kastriert und freundlich, außer beim spielen, da ist er etwas unkontrolliert und grob. Sein Herrchen ist leider ins Pflegeheim gekommen und kann sich nicht mehr kümmern. Pilly ist jetzt schon seit drei Monaten „Alleingänger“ noch im Haus seines Herrchens. Das ist natürlich kein Dauerzustand. Deshalb suchen wir für ihn ein neues Zuhause. Interessenten melden sich bitte bei uns, wir leiten es dann an die Familie weiter zur Kontaktaufnahme. 😻💖🙏

About Pilly

What life with Pilly looks like

Pilly is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Quedlinburg 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. 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 Pilly, answered.

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