Rossi

Male · Young · 1 year

For Rossi as well as another tomcat, we were asked for help by tourists, and our partner near Olbia was willing to take the two in. While the other, slightly older tomcat was not in good health and also had a problem with one of his eyes, Rossi was in pretty good shape. Of course, he was scruffy and unkempt and also quite thin, but that could be worked on. Now, Rossi has become a handsome tomcat; he loves cuddles and the big dog at the foster home. He doesn't particularly like other cats and would prefer to be the sole prince. Rossi probably wouldn't mind having a cat-friendly dog as a buddy. If you would like to adopt Rossi, we would be happy to hear from you. Generally, we prefer cats that are suitable for apartment living with a cat-safe netted balcony or a secured terrace for our cats.

Für Rossi sowie einen weiteren Kater wurden wir von Touristen um Hilfe gebeten, und unsere Partnerin in der Nähe von Olbia war bereit, die beiden aufzunehmen. Während der andere, schon etwas ältere Kater in keinem guten gesundheitlichen Zustand war und auch ein Problem mit einem seiner Augen hatte, war Rossi recht gut beisammen. Natürlich struppig und ungepflegt und auch recht dürr, aber daran konnte ja gearbeitet werden. Inzwischen ist Rossi ein bildschöner Kater geworden, er liebt Streicheleinheiten und den großen Hund der Pflegestelle. Andere Katzen mag er nicht besonders, er möchte Einzelprinz sein. Gegen einen katzenfreundlichen Hund als Kumpel hätte Rossi wahrscheinlich nichts einzuwenden. Wenn Sie Rossi adoptieren möchten, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht. Für unsere Katzen bevorzugen wir generell die Wohnungshaltung mit vernetztem Balkon bzw. gesicherter Terrasse. Ihr Ansprechpartner für diese

About Rossi

What life with Rossi looks like

Rossi is a large young adult cat waiting at ProTier 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 Rossi, answered.

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