Roy

Mixed Breed · Male

Roy grew up at a foster home together with three other cats. He now lives at our animal shelter and is looking for a loving home. He is very reserved. Although Roy is curious, enjoys observing things, and will come over to play or to collect treats, he doesn't allow himself to be touched. Roy needs plenty of time to adjust and requires people who are patient and understanding. He would prefer to move in with his brother Bruno. Please note that we like to place our kittens in pairs or with an already existing companion of roughly the same age. Especially if the cat is intended to live exclusively indoors, young cats urgently need a playmate and social partner who understands their language.

DE·Show original

Roy ist gemeinsam mit 3 weiteren Katzen auf einer Pflegestelle groß geworden. Mittlerweile lebt er bei uns im Tierheim und sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause. Er ist sehr zurückhaltend. Zwar ist Roy neugierig, beobachtet gern und kommt zum Spielen oder um sich Leckerlies abzuholen, aber anfassen lässt er sich nicht. Roy braucht viel Eingewöhnungszeit und Menschen mit viel Geduld und Verständnis. Er möchte am liebsten mit seinem Bruder Bruno ausziehen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir unsere Kätzchen paarweise oder zu einem bereits vorhandenen , etwa gleichaltrigen Artgenossen vermitteln möchten. Insbesondere wenn die reine Wohnungshaltung vorgesehen ist, brauchen Katzenkinder dringend einen Spiel -und Sozialpartner, der ihre Sprache spricht.

About Roy

What life with Roy looks like

Roy is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Stendal in Stendal.

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 Roy, answered.

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