Adopt RÜDIGER- Unser

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Rüdiger came to us as a found animal. We suspect he was abandoned because Rüdiger is blind. He is a very friendly and totally sunburnt tomcat. Rüdiger is neutered and vaccinated, and he seems to be a bit older. He was microchipped, unfortunately not registered. Due to his blindness, we would place him in an apartment-friendly home. Who has a heart for our senior? Who would like to give him a new home?. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Rüdiger kam als Fundtier zu uns. Wir vermuten, dass er ausgesetzt wurde, denn Rüdiger ist blind und niemand scheint ihn zu vermissen. Er ist ein sehr freundlicher und total verschmuster Kater. Rüdiger ist kastriert und geimpft, er scheint auch schon etwas älter zu sein. Gechipt war er schon, leider aber nicht regiestriert. Rüdiger hat eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion, deshalb braucht er zweimal am Tag ein Medikament. Aufgrund seiner Blindheit würden wir ihn in die reine Wohnungshaltung vermitteln. Wer hat ein Herz für unseren Senior? Wer möchte ihm ein neues Zuhause geben?

About RÜDIGER- Unser

What life with RÜDIGER- Unser looks like

RÜDIGER- Unser is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ulm in Ulm.

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 RÜDIGER- Unser, answered.

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