Vorgemerkt

Male · Young · 3 years

Schröder is a cute fellow, but a typical red tomcat with a very strong character. In his early days at the animal shelter, he showed his doofness by hissing and striking when a human approached. With some time, calmness, and especially food, he also allowed for closeness. Nevertheless, caution is advised: Schröder also decides spontaneously and may suddenly want to strike. At the place of discovery, Schröder apparently stayed for a longer time and was probably much friendlier. We assume that he felt safe and not harassed outdoors, as he could always retreat. In the confines of the animal shelter, he chooses to fight back. However, if given his time and approached with treats, Schröder shows his open side. He is a young tomcat who still has a lot to learn about people not meaning him harm. We believe that with patience and under the care of experienced cat owners, he can develop well. For beginners and children, he is absolutely not suitable. To allow Schröder to exert himself and follow his freedom drive, we place him exclusively in a free roam. This should naturally only occur after a long period of getting used to his new home. Whether Schröder gets along with other cats is not known and cannot be tested at the moment. He is generally more self-assured and curious but also somewhat unpredictable, which could lead to problems in communication with fellow animals. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Schröder ist ein hübsches Kerlchen, aber typischer roter Kater sehr charakterstark. In seiner Anfangszeit im Tierheim hat er fauchend und schlagend gezeigt, wie doof er es findet, wenn sich ein Mensch nähert. Mit etwas Zeit, Ruhe und vor allem Futter hat er dann auch Nähe zugelassen. Dennoch ist Vorsicht geboten: Schröder entscheidet sich auch gerne spontan um und möchte doch plötzlich zuhauen. Am Fundort soll Schröder sich längere Zeit aufgehalten haben und war wohl um einiges freundlicher. Wir gehen davon aus, dass er sich draußen sicher und nicht bedrängt gefühlt hat, da er jederzeit den Rückzug hätte antreten können. In der Enge des Tierheims wählt er eben die Flucht nach vorne. Wenn man ihm aber das Tempo überlässt und sich vor allem mit Leckerchen nähert, zeigt uns Schröder seine offene Seite. Er ist ein junger Kater, der noch viel Zeit hat zu lernen, dass Menschen ihm nichts Böses wollen. Wir glauben, dass er mit Geduld und bei erfahrenen Katzenhalter:innen eine tolle Entwicklung hinlegen kann. Für Anfänger:innen und Kinder ist er absolut nicht geeignet. Damit Schröder sich auspowern und seinem Freiheitsdrang nachgehen kann, vermitteln wir ihn ausschließlich in Freigang. Dieser sollte natürlich erst nach einer langen Zeit der Eingewöhnung im neuen Zuhause erfolgen. Ob Schröder mit anderen Katzen zurecht kommt, ist nicht bekannt und können wir derzeit nicht austesten. Er ist grundsätzlich eher selbstbewusst und neugierig, aber eben auch etwas unvorhersehbar, sodass es zu Problemen in der Kommunikation mit Artgenossen kommen könnte.

About Vorgemerkt

What life with Vorgemerkt looks like

Vorgemerkt is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪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 Vorgemerkt, answered.

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