Adopt Sammy

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

– rüstiger Tenor auf Wohnungssuche Status: offen Name: Sammy Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: männlich/neutered Farbe: getigert Alter: 12 Jahre compatible mit: fellow animals Sammy is a rüstiger early-retirement cat at 12 years old, currently on the lookout for a new home…. The imposing tomcat was surrendered to us because he can still sing tenor-level tunes without a microphone, but we observe that his singing is mood-dependent, for example, when he feels lonely. Sammy has a hyperthyroid condition that is currently managed with medication, which he takes easily in a lickable snack or with a bit of food. His bad teeth are also being completely treated at the moment, so he can eat pain-free again. Otherwise, Sammy loves to be treated as a couch potato, with his belly being rubbed. But even a short walk to the balcony for some fresh air is highly favored…. In any case, to occasionally trill a tune! Wunschzuhause: We are looking for a quiet home for this loving cuddly early-retirement cat, one that appreciates an attached cuddly tomcat and where his occasional singing sessions do not disturb. A traffic-calmed roam would be great, but even a secure balcony would suit Sammy just fine. Kontakt:. This cat needs outdoor access.

– rüstiger Tenor auf Wohnungssuche Status: offen Name: Sammy Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Farbe: getigert Alter: 12 Jahre Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Sammy ist mit seinen 12 Jahren ein rüstiger Frührentner, der dringend auf der Suche nach einer neuen Wohnung ist…. Der stattliche Kater wurde bei uns abgegeben, weil er durchaus tenorgleich gesanglich überzeugen kann, und das völlig ohne Mikrofon. Wir beobachten jedoch, daß sein Gesang auf jeden Fall stimmungsabhängig ist, zB wenn er sich einsam fühlt. Sammy hat eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion, die derzeit medikamentös eingestellt wird, die Medikamente nimmt er problemlos in einem Schlecksnack oder mit etwas Futter. Seine schlimmen Zähne werden außerdem im Moment komplett saniert, so dass er auch wieder schmerzfrei fressen kann. Ansonsten liebt es Sammy, sich als Couch-Potatoe sich den Bauch kraulen zu lassen. Aber auch ein kurzer Spaziergang auf den Balkon zum frische Luft schnuppern steht hoch im Kurs…. Auf jeden Fall, um gelegentlich ein Liedchen zu trällern! Wunschzuhause: Wir suchen für diesen lieben verschmusten Frührentner ein ruhiges Zuhause, das einen anhänglichen verschmusten Kater absolut zu schätzen weiß und wo seine gelegentlichen Gesangseinlagen nicht stören. Verkehrsberuhigter Freigang wäre fein, aber auch mit einem gesicherten Balkon kommt Sammy gut zurecht. Kontakt: Kontakt über Anja Kalisch,

About Sammy

What life with Sammy looks like

Sammy is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof in Germany.

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 Sammy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sammy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sammy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sammy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Sammy 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 Sammy 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 Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sammy 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.
