Robby

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Robby is one of four cats we took in from a feeding station that had to be shut down. Allegedly, there were complaints because "vermin" were multiplying through the cat food there. Without words… the years of life on the street are arduous, and older cats suffer greatly from it. Robby not only arrived with a severe cat cold but also with a severely emaciated body. All four new arrivals were first treated for parasites and worms, and then they had an appointment with the vet. The blood test revealed that Robby is infected with FIV, an immune weakness, and thus cannot be housed with healthy cats. His liver values also look rather poor, and an ultrasound of the abdomen will need to be performed in the foreseeable future. But for now, Robby should have some time to recover from all the stress. He is now in safety and has moved into Corinna’s foster home. At Corinna’s, several FIV-infected cats live, so our handsome young tomcat doesn’t have to live alone. A good sign is that his appetite is very good.

Robby gehört zu den vier Katzen, die wir von einer Futterstelle, die aufgelöst werden musste, aufgenommen haben. Angeblich gab es Beschwerden, weil sich dort „Ungeziefer“ durch das Katzenfutter vermehrte. Ohne Worte… Das jahrelange Leben auf der Straße ist entbehrungsreich und gerade alte Tiere leiden sehr darunter. Robby kam nicht nur mit starkem Katzenschnupfen zu uns, auch war sein Körper regelrecht ausgemergelt. Als erstes wurden alle vier Neulinge gegen Parasiten und Würmer behandelt und dann folgte ein Termin beim Tierarzt. Der Bluttest ergab, dass Robby mit FIV, einer Immunschwäche, infiziert ist und somit nicht mit gesunden Katzen zusammen gehalten werden darf. Seine Leberwerte sehen auch ziemlich schlecht aus und in absehbarer Zeit wird eine Ultraschalluntersuchung vom Bauch erfolgen müssen. Doch erst einmal soll Robby sich ein wenig von all dem Stress erholen. Er ist jetzt in Sicherheit und durfte zu Corinna in die Pflegestelle ziehen. Bei Corinna leben mehrere mit FIV infizierte Katzen, so dass unser hübsches Katerchen auch nicht alleine leben muss. Ein gutes Zeichen ist, dass sein Appetit sehr gut ist. Letschow, im November 2023

About Robby

What life with Robby looks like

Robby is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

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 Robby, answered.

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