Schoki

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 17 years

Schoki Schoki is a perfect cat for beginners! She is simply a dream of a cat and shows those who have never known what to do with cats how wonderful these animals can be. Schoki is looking for a new home as an indoor cat with secured windows where she can sniff some fresh air. She would also not say no to a secured balcony, but she doesn't need one to be happy. Schoki is a European Shorthair and was born around 2009. Although in her previous life she was only taken to a vet once, for neutering, and was never fed a high-quality diet, she is in wonderful condition after dental treatment in September 2023. Her blood values are completely unremarkable. In our foster home, we are now trying to switch her to species-appropriate food so that she has many good and healthy years ahead of her. One should not be fooled by Schoki's age – she is still delightfully playful and happy with every opportunity to romp around. She loves cuddling with her people just as much, and cozy TV time together on the couch. Schoki is a gem for people who don't want to commit to a cat for 20 years, but who love living with a velvet paw or want to learn to love it. Schoki is neutered, dewormed and microchipped. Due to her age, vaccination is no longer necessary. She spent her last years together with cat Laurie and could move with her to her new home. However, the two are not very attached to each other, so we can in good conscience also place her separately. Schoki is good with children. In her new home, however, older children should live there who will spend a lot of time with her but also give her her rest periods. Schoki has no experience with dogs.

Schoki Schoki ist eine perfekte Katze für Anfänger! Sie ist einfach nur ein Traum von Katze und lehrt diejenigen, die mit Katzen bislang nichts anzufangen wussten, wie toll diese Tiere sind. Schoki sucht ein neues Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit abgesicherten Fenstern, an denen sie frische Luft schnuppern kann. Zu einem abgesicherten Balkon würde sie auch nicht nein sagen, braucht den aber nicht zum Glücklichsein. Schoki ist eine Europäisch-Kurzhaar-Katze und wurde ca. 2009 geboren. Obwohl sie in ihrem vorherigen Leben nur einmal zur Kastration einem Tierarzt vorgestellt und nie hochwertig ernährt wurde, ist sie nach einer Zahnsanierung im September 2023 in einem supertollen Zustand. Ihre Blutwerte sind völlig unauffällig. In unserer Pflegestelle wird nun versucht sie auf artgerechtes Futter umzustellen, damit sie noch viele gute und gesunde Jahre vor sich hat. Man sollte sich von Schokis Alter nicht täuschen lassen – sie ist noch schön verspielt und freut sich über jedes Tobeangebot, das man ihr macht. Genauso sehr liebt sie das Kuscheln mit ihren Menschen und gemütliches Fernsehprogramm gemeinsam auf der Couch. Schoki ist ein Juwel für Menschen, die sich nicht für 20 Jahre an eine Katze binden wollen, das Zusammenleben mit einer Samtpfote aber lieben oder es lieben lernen wollen. Schoki ist kastriert, entwurmt und gechipt. Aufgrund ihres Alters ist Impfen nicht mehr notwendig. Sie hat ihre letzten Jahre zusammen mit Katze Laurie verbracht und könnte auch mit ihr in ihr neues Zuhause umziehen. Beide hängen aber nicht sehr aneinander, so dass wir sie guten Gewissens auch getrennt vermitteln. Schoki kennt Kinder. Im neuen Zuhause sollten aber schon ältere Kinder wohnen, die sich viel mit ihr beschäftigen, ihr aber auch ihre Ruhezeiten gönnen. Hunde kennt Schoki nicht.

About Schoki

What life with Schoki looks like

Schoki is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten in Bochum.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Schoki, answered.

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