Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 2 months

🐾 Pumpkin – kleiner Kuschelkater mit frechen Flausen im Kopf 🎃❤️ Mit gerade einmal zehn Tagen kam Pumpkin im August gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern auf eine Pflegestelle. Inzwischen ist aus dem winzigen Katzenbaby ein munterer, kleiner Kater geworden, der sein Für-immer-Zuhause sucht. 🥹 Pumpkin ist anhänglich, verspielt und frech, liebt es zu kuscheln und sich an seine Menschen zu schmiegen – und wer nicht aufpasst, bekommt sogar eine kleine Gesichtswäsche mit seiner Zunge! 😽💕 Durch die frühe Trennung von seiner Mama hat Pumpkin das sogenannte Sibling Sucking entwickelt: er nuckelt gerne am Ohr seiner Geschwister, während diese sich manchmal seinen Bauch aussuchen. Dieses Verhalten sollte weiterhin aufmerksam beobachtet werden. Am liebsten zieht Pumpkin mit einem seiner Geschwister aus, alternativ zu einer passenden Katze ähnlichen Alters und Temperaments. Freigang kommt nur in einer ruhigen Umgebung infrage, ansonsten ist er auch mit Wohnungshaltung glücklich. 🐈❤️🐾 Pumpkin auf einen Blick * geboren: August 2026 * Charakter: anhänglich, verschmust, verspielt und frech * Besonderheit: „Sibling Sucking“ hinterm Ohr * Sozialkontakt: Geschwisterchen oder passende Katze ähnlichen Alters * Haltung: Wohnung möglich, Freigang nur in ruhiger Umgebung oder gesichert * Wunschzuhause: liebevoll und verständnisvoll ❤️

About Pumpkin

What life with Pumpkin looks like

Pumpkin is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Stendal in Stendal.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Pumpkin, answered.

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