How do I contact the shelter about Smoky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Smoky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Smoky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart 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 Smoky 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 Smoky 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 Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Smoky 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.

Adopt Smoky

British Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

You can't give this animal a home, but still want to do something good for them? Come take a look at our wish list: 🍀 I am Smoky, I am named so because I have a fur color called Black Smoke. I was dropped off at a veterinary clinic with a urinary tract blockage. However, my family could not afford the treatment, so they had to leave me there. At first, things didn't look good for me, as my kidney values were already very poor due to the urinary blockage. After treatment, I am doing much better. However, I must now get special food to keep my bladder healthy. AND DRY FOOD IS NOW PROHIBITED FOR ME. I am a very friendly and curious tomcat who loves being around people. I always want to see everything in detail and am always where my family is. I unfortunately do not get along with kittens. With female cats, it depends on how friendly they are to me. I don't need a free roam, but a room with a screened-in balcony would be great. Do you think we would be a good match?. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Sie könnt diesem Tier kein Zuhause schenken, möchten ihm dennoch etwas Gutes tun, schauen Sie doch gerne bei uns auf den Wunschlisten vorbei: 🍀 Ich bin Smoky, ich heiße so, weil ich eine Fellfarbe habe, die man Black smoke nennt. Ich wurde mit einem Harnwegsverschluss in einer Tierklinik abgegeben. Allerdings war meiner Familie die Behandlung zu teuer, deshalb haben die mich dort gelassen. Anfangs sah es nicht gut für mich aus, denn meine Nierenwerte waren durch den Harnstau schon sehr schlecht. Nach einer Behandlung geht es mir jetzt wieder gut. Allerdings muß ich ab sofort ein spezielles Futter bekommen, damit meine Blase gesund bleibt. UND TROCKENFUTTER IST AB SOFORT FÜR MICH VERBOTEN. Ich bin ein sehr freundlicher und neugieriger Kater, der gerne bei euch Menschen ist. Ich will immer alles ganz genau sehen und bin immer da wo meine Familie ist. Mit Katern verstehe ich mich leider nicht. Bei Katzendamen kommt es darauf an, wie sympathisch die mir sind. Ich brauche keinen Freigang. Allerdings wäre eine Wohnung mit eingenetztem Balkon eine super Sache. Du denkst wir passen zusammen? Dann melde dich gerne unter

About Smoky

What life with Smoky looks like

Smoky is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.
