Rupert

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Rupert, whom we named the tomcat, was found in Glashofen. He has been at the animal shelter since April 28, 2026. We estimate that the young tomcat was born around May 2024. Rupert is now neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. During routine examinations, the veterinarian confirmed that he is FIV positive. He currently shows no symptoms, and this can potentially remain the case for many years (maybe even indefinitely). Rupert is looking for a home with lots of love and peace.

Rupert, wie wir den Kater genannt haben, wurde in Glashofen gefunden. Er ist seit dem 28. April 2026 im Tierheim. Wir schätzen, dass der junge Kater ca. Mai 2024 geboren ist. Rupert ist mittlerweile kastriert, geimpft und gechipt, bei den Routineuntersuchungen hat die Tierärztin festgestellt, dass er FIV positiv ist. Er zeigt aktuell keinerlei Symptome und das kann noch viele Jahre (vielleicht immer) so bleiben. Rupert sucht ein Zuhause mit viel Liebe und Ruhe.

About Rupert

What life with Rupert looks like

Rupert is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Dallau in Elztal.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Rupert, answered.

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