Pino

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Pino This is PINO! He is looking for a new home. Unfortunately, his living circumstances have changed, and one of the children has developed an allergy. The beautiful "licorice nose" has to be rehomed, and it is with a very heavy heart that everyone hopes he will find a new family quickly. Pino is an absolute dream of a cat. He is a dedicated cuddler with adults and very gentle with children. He is athletic and active, and in his new home he would like to have outdoor access again in a quiet residential area. Pino is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated. Pino would prefer not to share his new people with other cats. He has no experience with dogs. Who will give Pino a loving home for the second half of his life?

About Pino

What life with Pino looks like

Pino is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten in Bochum.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pino, answered.

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