Smartie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

He is loving, but still a bit shy and primarily very curious. He now allows petting. Here, he simply needs people who will give him the time he needs. He should definitely have a compatible same-aged companion in his new home. Come on over to the animal shelter and get to know him better. Born 1.9.

DE·Show original

ist lieb, aber noch ein bißchen schüchtern und vor allem neugierig. Mittlerweile lässt er sich streicheln. Hier braucht es einfach Menschen die ihm einfach die Zeit lassen, die er braucht. Er sollte auf jeden Fall in seinem neuen Zuhause einen passenden gleichaltrigen Gefährten haben. Kommen Sie doch einfach im Tierheim vorbei und lernen Sie ihn näher kennen. geb. 1.9.2024

About Smartie

What life with Smartie looks like

Smartie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) in Germany.

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 Smartie, answered.

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