Pumba

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The handsome gray tabby cat Pumba (approx. 12 weeks) was born with cataracts. It is not yet clear how his eyesight will develop - but he is already managing his little life wonderfully! At first, Pumba is a bit shy and needs some time. Once he has gained trust, he enjoys gentle cuddles very much. To ensure Pumba can grow up safely, he needs a home with indoor living and a secured balcony or outdoor enclosure. Unfortunately, unsecured outdoor access is not possible later due to potential blindness. Pumba does not want to be alone: he would love to bring one of his siblings along or join an existing first cat. We are looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack for this special treasure: heart people with patience and a protected place. Puma is vaccinated and microchipped.

DE·Show original

Der hübsche grautiger Kater Pumba (ca. 12 Wochen) kam mit dem grauen Star zur Welt. Wie sich seine Sehkraft entwickelt, lässt sich noch nicht genau sagen – doch er meistert sein kleines Leben schon jetzt ganz wunderbar!​Anfangs ist Pumba noch etwas schüchtern und braucht etwas Zeit. Hat er erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, genießt er sanfte Kuscheleinheiten sehr.​Damit Pumba sicher aufwachsen kann, wünscht er sich ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon oder Freigehege. Ungesicherter Freigang ist aufgrund einer eventuellen Erblindung später leider nicht möglich.​Pumba soll nicht alleine bleiben: Er bringt gerne eines seiner Geschwisterchen mit oder zieht zu einer bereits vorhandenen Erstkatze.​Wir suchen für diesen besonderen Schatz die sprichwörtliche Nadel im Heuhaufen: Herzensmenschen mit Geduld und einem geschützten Plätzchen.​Puma ziehen geimpft und gechippt aus.

About Pumba

What life with Pumba looks like

Pumba is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Haßloch 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 Pumba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pumba?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Haßloch 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 — Tierschutzverein Haßloch 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 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 Tierschutzverein Haßloch 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
