Rupert & Ludgar

Male · Adult · 8 years

Rupert and Ludgar came into our care as a precautionary measure at the end of September. We are now looking for a loving home for them. Initially, Rupert and Ludgar are still a bit reserved. However, once they have settled in, they reveal themselves to be loving and affectionate cats. Since the two get along super well, we only place them together. A quiet home without a lot of hustle and bustle would be just right for Rupert and Ludgar. They would also be thrilled with a cozy apartment with a nice scratching post. Would you like to give Rupert and Ludgar a caring home? Then please send your completed self-assessment (enable JavaScript for the address). 02.11.2026 (kb)

Rupert und Ludgar kamen Ende September als Sicherstellung in unsere Obhut. Nun suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause für sie. Anfangs zeigen sich Rupert und Ludgar noch etwas zurückhaltend. Haben sie sich jedoch erstmal eingewöhnt, entpuppen sie sich als liebe und verschmuste Kater. Da die beiden sich super miteinander verstehen, vermitteln wir sie nur gemeinsam. Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Trubel wäre genau das Richtige für Rupert und Ludgar. Auch über eine gemütliche Wohnung mit einem schönen Kratzbaum würden sie sich riesig freuen. Möchten Sie Rupert und Ludgar ein fürsorgliches Zuhause schenken? Dann schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 02.11.2026 (kb)

About Rupert & Ludgar

What life with Rupert & Ludgar looks like

Rupert & Ludgar is an extra-large adult cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rupert & Ludgar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rupert & Ludgar?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hamburger Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rupert & Ludgar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rupert & Ludgar if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rupert & Ludgar 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 Rupert & Ludgar 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rupert & Ludgar 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.
