Pumuckel

Maine Coon · Male · Adult · 5 years

I am Pumuckel... I was seized for animal welfare reasons and hope for a new home with a cat-experienced owner. This is me: I am a handsome tomcat in my prime - but not a docile lap cat. I am confident and sometimes a bit skittish. I am also affectionate and cuddly - but of course (like a cat) only on my terms. I look forward to people who treat me responsibly and respect my boundaries. A delicate touch and experience are required. I wish for... a quiet home without children, where I can live as a single prince. A spacious apartment with a secure balcony is just right for me. What's important to me is people who can read me well, give me security and don't pressure me. Would you like to meet me? Then contact me via the application form below or by phone at Garfield House 2 (daily 13-16 except Saturdays).

Ich bin Pumuckel … wurde aus Tierschutzgründen sichergestellt und hoffe auf ein neues katzenerfahrenes Zuhause. Das bin ich: Ich bin ein schöner Kater im besten Alter – aber kein willenloser Schmusekater. Ich bin selbstbewusst und manchmal auch etwas schreckhaft. Auch zutraulich und schmusig bin ich – aber natürlich (ganz Katze) nur nach meinen Bedingungen. Ich freue mich auf Menschen, die verantwortungsvoll mit mir umgehen und meine Grenzen respektieren. Fingerspitzengefühl und Erfahrung sind gefragt. Ich wünsche mir … ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, in dem ich als Einzelprinz leben darf. Eine geräumige Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon ist genau das Richtige für mich. Wichtig sind mir Menschen, die mich gut lesen können, mir Sicherheit geben und mich nicht bedrängen. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Dann melde dich über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Garfield-Haus 2 unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Pumuckel

What life with Pumuckel looks like

Pumuckel is a adult maine coon cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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 Pumuckel, answered.

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