Robert

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Robert was very shy when he first came to us at our shelter. But if you take your time and move calmly around him, he will start to trust people. At our shelter, he really enjoys being in the secure outdoor enclosure. We are looking for a quiet home suitable for apartment living with a compatible companion, for people with the necessary understanding and patience. A secure outdoor enclosure would be perfect for him. Born 29.6.

Robert war am Anfang als er zu uns ins Tierheim kam sehr scheu. Doch wenn man sich für ihn Zeit nimmt und sich ruhig bewegt traut er sich schon zu den Menschen. Bei uns im Tierheim hält er sich sehr gerne im gesicherten Freigehege auf. Für ihn suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit einem passendem Gefährten, bei Menschen mit dem nötigen Verständnis und Geduld. Ein gesichertes Freigehege wäre für ihn perfekt. geb. 29.6.2021, kastriert

About Robert

What life with Robert looks like

Robert is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Robert, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Robert?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 — Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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.
