Prinz

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Prinz is a former stray tomcat who had to survive on the streets for a long time with no care. He was caught, neutered, and treated for his inflamed eyes (entropion). After a successful operation and intensive treatment, he is doing much better today. Prinz is a sensitive character who has learned to look after himself. For this reason, he needs people with a good understanding of cats. He now shows genuine affection toward his primary caregiver and enjoys being stroked. Overall, however, he remains a cat who needs clear communication and does not always trust right away—it is important to learn to read his signals. He enjoys playing with his ball track, reliably uses scratching options, and shows great interest in his surroundings. He finds other cats fascinating but currently lives alone, and this should remain the case, as he is FIV positive. When Prinz is stressed, he tends to become litter-box shy. This is something that must be taken seriously and understood. In a stable, calm home with at least two large litter boxes filled with his favorite litter, this happens very rarely. Cleanliness in the litter box is very important to him. Prinz reacts much more relaxed and friendly toward women—including unfamiliar women. With men, however, he may react insecurely or negatively. A household with women would therefore be ideal, and children should not live in the household or be planned for. We are looking for people with experience, patience, and a big heart—someone who gives him time, understands him, and respects his pace. Someone who keeps an eye on his health, since he is FIV positive. Anyone who gives Prinz this chance will be rewarded with a special, sensitive, and loyal companion.

Prinz ist ein ehemaliger Streunerkater, der lange Zeit unversorgt auf der Straße überleben musste. Er wurde eingefangen, kastriert und seine entzündeten Augen behandelt (Rolllid/ Entropium). Nach einer erfolgreichen Operation und intensiver Behandlung geht es ihm heute viel besser. Prinz ist ein feinfühliger Charakter, der gelernt hat, für sich selbst zu sorgen. Deshalb benötigt er Menschen mit einem guten Maß an Katzenverständnis. Bei seiner Bezugsperson zeigt er inzwischen echte Zuneigung und lässt sich gern streicheln. Insgesamt bleibt er aber ein Kater, der klare Kommunikation braucht und nicht immer sofort vertraut – seine Signale zu lesen ist wichtig. Er spielt gern mit seiner Kullerbahn, nutzt Kratzmöglichkeiten zuverlässig und zeigt großes Interesse an seiner Umgebung. Andere Katzen findet er spannend, lebt aber derzeit allein und das sollte auch so bleiben, denn er ist FIV positiv. Wenn Prinz gestresst ist, neigt er dazu, unsauber zu werden. Das ist ein Punkt, den man ernst nehmen und verstehen muss. In einem stabilen, ruhigen Zuhause mit mindestens zwei großen Klos mit seinem Lieblingsstreu passiert dies äußerst selten. Sauberkeit im Klo ist ihm dabei sehr wichtig. Prinz reagiert auf Frauen deutlich entspannter und zutraulicher - auch auf fremde Frauen. Bei Männern kann er dagegen unsicher oder negativ reagieren. Ein Frauenhaushalt wäre daher ideal, Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben oder noch geplant sein. Wir suchen Menschen mit Erfahrung, Geduld und einem großen Herzen. Jemand, der ihm Zeit lässt, ihn versteht und sein Tempo respektiert. Ein Auge auf seine Gesundheit hat, da er FIV positiv ist. Wer Prinz diese Chance gibt, wird mit einem besonderen, sensiblen und treuen Gefährten belohnt.

About Prinz

What life with Prinz looks like

Prinz is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Münster in Münster.

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 Prinz, answered.

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