Shaky

Mixed Breed · Male

RESERVED – Shaky, neutered, ca. born end of 2024. Shaky came to us as a stray cat. He was unneutered and had no identifying markings that would have allowed us to locate his owner. Furthermore, no one has reported him missing so far. At first, Shaky was extremely intimidated and kept trembling, which is how he got his name—but nowadays, he no longer lives up to it at all. He’s affectionate and playful, though sometimes a bit finicky and may even give a little nip if he’s had enough petting. He gets along wonderfully with other cats and would certainly enjoy having a compatible playmate.

DE·Show original

Shaky kam als Fundkater zu uns. Er war unkastriert und hatte keinerlei Kennzeichnung, mit deren Hilfe wir einen Besitzer hätten finden können. Auch sonst wurde er bisher von niemandem vermisst. Anfangs zeigte sich Shaky extrem eingeschüchtert und war nur am Zittern, wodurch er seinen Namen bekam, welchem er inzwischen jedoch überhaupt nicht mehr gerecht wird. Er ist anhänglich und verspielt, manchmal jedoch auch etwas zickig und zwickt schonmal in die Hand, wenn er genug von Streicheleinheiten hat. Mit anderen Katzen kommt er bestens zurecht und würde sich sicher über einen verträglichen Spielgefährten freuen.

About Shaky

What life with Shaky looks like

Shaky is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 Shaky, answered.

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