Samba (Wohnungshaltung)

Unknown · Senior · 11 years

I came to the shelter as a found cat and am a very sweet and friendly cat. I enjoy the closeness to people, love to cuddle and am happy when someone spends time with me. I especially like to have my humans nearby, then I feel secure and content. I also love to eat and never miss a meal. Unfortunately, I have a suspected tumor in my belly. Currently, I don't need medication and have no complaints. Unfortunately, no one can say how long this good condition will last. Therefore, I wish for a nice, quiet home where I can experience a lot of love, warmth and affection, even if there may not be many years left for me. Due to my condition, I would like to live in an apartment. I would be very happy with a secure balcony, where I could breathe fresh air, enjoy the sun and observe the world in peace. I am conditionally compatible with other cats. Therefore, a gentle introduction should take place to see if I get along with a fellow cat. I would prefer a home where my humans respect my needs and boundaries and give me the time I need to get used to a possible new companion. If you would like to give me a loving home despite my uncertain future, I would be very grateful. I don't need any big adventures anymore, but people who take me as I am and show me how beautiful security can be. We are happy that you are interested in Samba. Please send us a direct inquiry. Then you will become a sponsor for Samba. Of course, Samba is also happy about individual money and material donations.

Ich kam als Fundkater ins Tierheim und bin ein ganz lieber und freundlicher Kater. Ich genieße die Nähe zu Menschen sehr, schmuse gerne und freue mich, wenn jemand Zeit mit mir verbringt. Am liebsten habe ich meine Menschen in meiner Nähe dann fühle ich mich geborgen und zufrieden. Außerdem esse ich für mein Leben gerne und lasse mir keine Mahlzeit entgehen. Leider besteht bei mir der Verdacht auf einen Tumor im Bauch. Im Moment benötige ich keine Medikamente und habe auch keine Beschwerden. Wie lange dieser gute Zustand anhält, kann leider niemand sagen. Deshalb wünsche ich mir ein schönes, ruhiges Zuhause, in dem ich noch einmal ganz viel Liebe, Wärme und Zuneigung erfahren darf auch wenn vielleicht nicht mehr viele Jahre vor mir liegen. Wegen meinem Zustand möchte ich in Wohnungshaltung leben. Über einen gesicherten Balkon würde ich mich sehr freuen, denn dort könnte ich frische Luft schnappen, die Sonne genießen und entspannt die Welt beobachten. Mit anderen Katzen bin ich bedingt verträglich. Ob ich mich mit einem Artgenossen verstehe, sollte daher ganz in Ruhe und mit einer behutsamen Zusammenführung stattfinden. Am liebsten wäre mir ein Zuhause, in dem meine Menschen meine Bedürfnisse und meine Grenzen respektieren und mir die nötige Zeit geben, mich an eine mögliche neue Gesellschaft zu gewöhnen. Wenn ihr mir trotz meiner ungewissen Zukunft ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchtet, würde ich mich sehr freuen. Ich brauche keine großen Abenteuer mehr, sondern Menschen, die mich so nehmen wie ich bin und mir zeigen wie schön Geborgenheit sein kann. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Samba interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Samba. Natürlich freut sich Samba auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Samba (Wohnungshaltung)

What life with Samba (Wohnungshaltung) looks like

Samba (Wohnungshaltung) is a large senior cat waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Samba (Wohnungshaltung), answered.

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