Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021)

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Hello, we’re the cats Pummel and Pirate. We were stuffed together into a cardboard box and simply abandoned outside in 40-degree Celsius heat. The shelter staff were totally shocked when they opened the box and found us inside. But they also fell head over heels for us—because we’re such sweet guys! Now we’re looking for a new home together—just the two of us. 🐱🐱 That’s because we’re incredibly attached to each other. We cuddle often and groom each other. We simply can’t live without one another. Our caregivers say it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack—but we believe there’s someone out there who’s just waiting for us, someone we can enchant with our love 💘 and charm 🥰. I’m Pummel, and I’m always in a great mood! 🥳 I’m always ready for petting and a little snack. That’s why, when I first arrived at the shelter, I was a bit chubby. Pirate is also a super cuddler—but he has some health issues. First, he has a heart condition 💔 that needs to be managed with medication. But he takes his pills 💊 without any trouble. Second, he was born with a small, underdeveloped eye 👁, and his other eye 👁👁 isn’t perfect either. That’s why he needs to get eye drops 👀-💧💧 several times a day. Third, because of his weak heart, Pirate can’t be neutered. So he received a hormone chip instead, which makes him permanently infertile. However, this chip needs to be renewed every few months. Fourth, both of us have struvite crystals in our urine, so we need to eat a special diet. And here’s the good news: you don’t have to feed us separately! 👍 So even though having a disadvantage might sound like a drawback, it actually turns out to be an advantage. 😉 We don’t need outdoor access, but an apartment with a screened-in balcony would be perfect. Kids who know how to handle cats are more than welcome to join your family! Curious? Then quickly schedule a meet-and-greet appointment at the shelter. Just send us an email and tell us a bit about yourself! See you soon! Your dream duo, Pummel and Pirate

Hallo, wir sind die Kater Pummel und Pirat Wir wurden bei 40 Grad Außentemperatur zusammen in einen Karton gestopft, und einfach ausgesetzt. Die Pfleger im Tierheim waren total geschockt als sie den Karton öffneten und uns darin sahen. Aber die waren auch schockverliebt weil wir so liebe Burschen sind. Nun suchen wir nur gemeinsam ein neues Zuhause.🐱🐱 Denn wir hängen sehr aneinander. Wir kuscheln oft miteinander und putzen uns gegenseitig. Wir können nicht ohneeinander. Unsere Pfleger sagen zwar, das ist wie die Suche nach einer Nadel im Heuhaufen. Aber wir glauben, da draußen wartet irgendjemand, den wir mit unserer Liebe 💘 und unserem Charme 🥰 verzaubern dürfen. Ich der Pummel bin immer gut gelaunt,🥳 für Streicheleinheiten und einen kleinen Snack immer zu haben. Deshalb war ich , als ich im Tierheim ankam ein wenig dick. Pirat ist auch ein super Kuschler. Allerdings hat er einige gesundheitliche Probleme. 1. Er hat eine Herzerkrankung 💔, die mit Tabletten behandelt werden muss. Die Tabletten 💊 nimmt er aber ohne Probleme ein. 2. Von Geburt an hat er ein verkümmertes Auge 👁 und das andere Auge 👁👁 ist auch nicht perfekt. Deshalb muss er mehrmals täglich Augentropfen 👀-💧💧bekommen. 3.Wegen dem schlechten Herz kann man Pirat nicht kastrieren. Deshalb bekam er einen Hormonchip gesetzt und ist dadurch nicht mehr zeugungsfähig. Dieser Chip muss allerdings alle paar Monate erneuert werden. 4. Struvitkristalle haben wir beide im Urin. Deshalb müssen wir ein spezielles Futter bekommen. Deshalb muss man uns auch nicht getrennt füttern.👍 Somit kann ein Nachteil ein Vorteil sein.😉 Wir brauchen keinen Freigang aber eine Wohnung mit eingenetztem Balkon wäre super. Kinder, die wissen wie man mit Katzen umgeht, dürfen schon gerne bei euch wohnen Neugierig geworden? Dann macht ganz schnell einen Kennenlerntermin im Tierheim aus. Meldet euch gerne mit einer Email unter und erzählt uns darin schonmal etwas über euch! Bis ganz bald! Euer Traumduo Pummel und Pirat

Frequently asked

Adopting Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart 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 Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021) 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 Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021) 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 Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pummel (ca.2022) und Pirat (ca.2021) 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.
