Red Grande

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Red Grande was found several months ago with an old fracture in his right hind leg, which has led to a disability of the tomcat. He can no longer properly load the leg. Red's magnificent appearance should not be misleading that a delicate soul is hiding in him, which can hardly endure being locked in a cage. Red suffers and does not show it. Colleagues are concerned that he may develop FIP due to the stress. Therefore, Red is now one of our big emergency kittens. His impressive cat head with the thick cheeks is also impressive. They testify that Red has marched through life uncastrated until his discovery, as a son of the harsh freedom on Sardinia. Red is estimated to be about eight years old. Red Grande needs a home with secure outdoor access, a cat-proof garden would be very nice for the dear cat, at least a large netted balcony or a (roof) terrace, so that he can continue to hold his nose in the wind and enjoy the view of a piece of nature. Colleagues on Sardinia rate him as socially compatible, as Red really has a calm temperament. With sufficient attention and time, Red can also be kept as a single cat. Who has a place free for the affectionate, loving handicapped tomcat? He should not have to wait too long for his luck. A final home would be the greatest happiness for him, but I would also be happy about a foster place for Red Grande. Red is chipped, neutered, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and vaccinated against rabies and cat flu/cat distemper before departure. Before departure, he receives a parasite prophylaxis. I look forward to an email or a call!

Red Grande wurde schon vor einigen Monaten gefunden, mit einem alten Bruch im rechten Hinterlauf, der zu einer Behinderung des Katers geführt hat . Er kann das Bein nicht mehr richtig belasten. Reds prachtvolle Erscheinung sollte nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass sich eine zarte Seele in ihm verbirgt, die es kaum aushalten kann in einem Käfig eingesperrt zu sein. Red leidet und er zeigt es nicht. Die Kollegen haben Sorge, dass er durch den Stress eine FIP entwickeln könnte. Daher ist Red nun einer unserer großen Notfellchen. Groß ist auch sein beeindruckender Katerkopf mit den dicken Bäckchen. Sie zeugen davon, dass Red bis zu seinem Auffinden unkastriert durchs Leben marschiert ist, als Sohn der rauen Freiheit auf Sardinien. Red wird auf ca. acht Jahre geschätzt. Red Grande braucht ein Zuhause mit gesichertem Freigang, ein katzensicherer Garten wäre sehr schön f ür den lieben Kater, mindestens aber ein großer eingenetzter Balkon oder eine (Dach-)Terrasse, damit er weiterhin sein Näschen in den Wind halten kann und die Aussicht auf ein Stück Natur geniessen kann. Die Kollegen auf Sardinien schätzen ihn als sozialverträglich ein, da Red wirklich ein ruhiges Gemüt hat. Bei ausreichender Zuwendung und Zeit kann Red aber auch als Einzelkater gehalten werden. Wer hat einen Platz frei für den zutraulichen, lieben Handicap-Kater? Er sollte nicht mehr allzu lange auf sein Glück warten müssen. Ein Endzuhause wäre für ihn das höchste Glück, aber ich würde mich auch über einen Pflegeplatz für Red Grande freuen. Red ist gechippt, kastriert, negativ auf FIV und FeLV getestet, und bei Ausreise gegen Tollwut und Katzenschnupfen/Katzenseuche geimpft. Vor der Ausreise erhält er noch eine Parasiten-Prophylaxe. Ich freue mich über eine Mail oder einen Anruf!

About Red Grande

What life with Red Grande looks like

Red Grande is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at PfotenFreunde Sardinien e.V. in Germany.

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 Red Grande, answered.

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