Robert

European Shorthair · Male

A male tiger-white EKH cat named Robert was surrendered to Robert's shelter in 2018. It is unclear whether he was abandoned or simply left behind, as he was found eating at a food station and was microchipped. Unfortunately, he is not registered, so his previous owner cannot be located. The anxious cat, who does not allow petting or handling, prefers to retreat to his hutch and avoids contact with the other cats in the room. Due to his mild heart problems, Robert requires regular medication, so a foster home is being sought for the next six months. Whether he will be allowed outdoor access later or if indoor-only care is better for him will need to be determined in the long term.

2018männlichgetigert-weißEKHFreigang/WohnungBei Robert wissen wir nicht, ob er zurückgelassen oder einfach nur ausgesetzt wurde, da er gechippt an einer Futterstelle seinen Hunger stillte. Leider ist er nicht registriert und somit kann sein Vorbesitzer nicht ausfindig gemacht werden. Der ängstliche Kater, der sich weder streicheln noch anfassen lässt, zieht sich am liebsten in sein Häuschen zurück und meidet den Kontakt zu den anderen Katzen im Raum. Da Robert aufgrund seiner leichten Herzprobleme auf eine regelmäßige Medikamentengabe angewiesen ist, suchen wir für ihn für die kommenden sechs Monate eine Pflegestelle. Ob später Freigang ermöglicht wird oder eine reine Wohnungshaltung für ihn besser ist, müsste langfristig geklärt werden.

About Robert

What life with Robert looks like

Robert is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Katzenschutz Göppingen-Donzdorf in Donzdorf.

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 Robert, answered.

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