Raku

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Raku is urgently in search of a new home. As he is extremely jealous and does not get along with other cats, he will be placed as a single prince. Outdoor access must be provided. Raku is a very moody but at the same time extremely cuddly cat. He loves to cuddle with familiar people, but if he has had enough, he can also give a paw. Therefore, he is not suitable for a household with children. The big guy enjoys his peace and quiet, but at the same time ensures with his voice that there is always someone to talk to. Raku was born in 2017, is already neutered and chipped, and is currently vaccinated. Katzenhaus Luga, Email:

DE·Show original

Raku ist dringend auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause. Da er extrem eifersüchtig ist und sich nicht mit anderen Katzen versteht, wird er als Einzelprinz vermittelt. Freigang muss gegeben sein. Raku ist ein sehr launischer, aber gleichzeitig extrem verkuschelter Kater. Mit vertrauten Personen kuschelt er sehr gerne, aber hat er die Nase voll, kann auch mal die Pfote geflogen kommen. Daher ist er nicht für einen Haushalt mit Kindern geeignet. Der große Kerl genießt gerne seine Ruhe, sorgt aber gleichzeitig mit seiner Stimme dafür, dass man immer jemanden zum Reden hat. Raku ist ca. 2017 geboren, bereits kastriert und gechipt und aktuell geimpft. Katzenhaus Luga, E-Mail:

About Raku

What life with Raku looks like

Raku is a large adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Dresden in Dresden.

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 Raku, answered.

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