Schnuffel ( reserviert )

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Hoo-hoo! Here I am—Schnuffel—a super-lovely, 5-month-old male kitten with white fur and blue eyes. Just imagine—I was found all alone outside, completely by myself. It was really tough for me, especially since I probably don’t hear very well or might even be deaf. Luckily, I made quite a ruckus to get people’s attention, was quickly spotted, and then immediately taken to the animal shelter. Once I arrived here, I charmed everyone from day one with my kitten charm! My caregivers, my cuddle-aunts and uncles... no one can resist me. And it’s not just because I look so cute—no, it’s more because I’m so sweet, curious, playful, and open-minded. Life is exciting, too—and of course, I love to comment on that often and loudly with a big, hearty meow! And since I can hardly—or maybe not at all—hear my own meow, it comes out extra loud. Your neighbors should like that—or your apartment should be well soundproofed, hehe! What else do I need to be truly happy? Well, I’d absolutely love a feline buddy about my age. Then I’d also be thrilled to have a nice apartment—preferably with a secure balcony. Kids are welcome, too, and dogs don’t bother me at all—as long as they’re already familiar with cats and treat me kindly. You see—I’m a real family cat!

Huhu! Hier bin ich – Schnuffel – ein super-liebes, 5 Monate junges Katerkind mit weißem Fell und blauen Augen. Stellen Sie sich vor – ich wurde draußen mutterseelenallein gefunden. Das war echt schlimm für mich, zumal ich vermutlich nicht besonders gut hören kann oder sogar taub bin. Zum Glück habe ich richtig lautstark auf mich aufmerksam gemacht, wurde schnell entdeckt und dann sofort ins Tierheim gebracht. Hier angekommen verzauberte ich von Anfang an alle mit meinem Kitten-Charme! Mein Personal, meine Streicheltanten und Onkels … keiner kann mir widerstehen. Und das nicht, weil ich so niedlich aussehe – ne, vielmehr, weil ich so lieb, neugierig, verspielt und aufgeschlossen bin. Das Leben ist aber auch spannend. Und das kommentiere ich natürlich auch gern und oft mit einem kräftigen Miau! Und weil ich mein Miau selbst kaum oder nicht hören kann, fällt es wirklich laut aus. Ihre Nachbarn sollten das mögen – oder Ihre Wohnung gut gegen Schall isoliert sein, hehe! Was mir jetzt noch zu meinem Glück fehlt? Ein Katerkumpel in ungefähr meinem Alter, den brauche ich unbedingt. Dann würde ich mich über eine schöne Wohnung freuen – vorzugsweise mit einem gesicherten Balkon. Kinder sind mir auch willkommen und Hunde machen mir nix aus, wenn sie Katzen schon kennen und freundlich zu mir sind. Sie sehen – ich bin ein richtiger Familien-Kater.

About Schnuffel ( reserviert )

What life with Schnuffel ( reserviert ) looks like

Schnuffel ( reserviert ) is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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 Schnuffel ( reserviert ), answered.

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