Adopt Dicker

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Dicker, a neutered tomcat born around early 2024, was an outdoor cat Dicker was long-term fed by a cat lover. His primary caregiver had already managed to groom him without any issues. At our shelter, he initially took a while to settle in. However, he has now learned that we mean him no harm and has become much more approachable. Even from his favorite people, he will let himself be picked up for a brief moment. Dicker is very social with fellow animals and would surely be happy with a friend or a companion in his new home. After the necessary adjustment period, Dicker should again have the opportunity for a free roam in a less busy area.

Dicker, Kater, kastriert, ca. Anf. 2024 geb., Freigänger Dicker wurde lange draußen von einem Katzenfreund mit Futter versorgt. Von seiner Bezugsperson ließ er sich bereits problemlos streicheln. Bei uns hat er zunächst eine ganze Weile gebraucht, um sich einzuleben. Mittlerweile hat er aber gelernt, dass wir ihm nichts Böses wollen und ist deutlich zugänglicher. Von seinen Lieblingsmenschen lässt er sich sogar kurz auf den Arm nehmen. Mit Artgenossen ist Dicker sehr sozial und würde sich bestimmt über einen Freund oder eine Freundin in seinem neuen Zuhause freuen. Nach der nötigen Eingewöhnungszeit sollte Dicker wieder die Möglichkeit auf Freigang in verkehrsberuhigtem Gebiet haben.

About Dicker

What life with Dicker looks like

Dicker is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 Dicker, answered.

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