Pumba

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

The imposing Ragdoll tomcat Pumba is 3-4 years old. Since his mistress can no longer take care of him due to her age, he needs a new home. At first, he was completely overwhelmed by the new situation, hiding all day and only eating at night. In the meantime, he has thawed out and shows himself to be very self-assured. Loudly demanding his meals and wanting to cuddle, he has a confident companion in his fellow resident Zoey, who also is very self-assured. They tolerate each other but keep their distance. When the window is open, he observes his surroundings with great interest. His need to go outside is becoming increasingly apparent. He does not necessarily need another animal in his new home, but he does need free access. Small children should not live in the household. This cat needs outdoor access.

Der imposante Ragdoll-Kater Pumba ist 3-4 Jahre alt. Da sein Frauchen sich altersbedingt nicht mehr um ihn kümmern konnte, braucht er ein neues Zuhause. Anfangs war er ob der neuen Situation total überfordert, versteckte sich den ganzen Tag und aß nur nachts. In der Zwischenzeit ist er aufgetaut und zeigt sich sehr selbstbewusst. Lautstark fordert er seine Mahlzeiten und Streicheleinheiten ein. Seine ebenfalls selbstbewusste Mitbewohnerin Zoey und er tolerieren sich, halten aber Abstand voneinander. Bei geöffnetem Fenster beobachtet er sehr interessiert seine Umwelt. Sein Bedürfnis nach draußen zu gelangen, wird immer deutlicher sichtbar. Er braucht in seinem neuen Zuhause nicht unbedingt einen Artgenossen, aber auf alle Fälle Freigang. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben.

About Pumba

What life with Pumba looks like

Pumba is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierrechtsorganisation Einhorn e.V. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pumba, answered.

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