Spatz

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

I came to the shelter like this: a sparrow flew in - or something like that. My foster mom always says a peregrine falcon would have been a better fit for me than a sparrow, because I can outrun the fastest bird in the world when I chase my toys. I'm a super cute girl, but I drive my foster mom crazy sometimes because I have so much energy and when I'm in the zone, I can't be stopped. Currently, I live (04/2026 born) at the shelter with little Hilde, who I sometimes overwhelm. For this reason, I would like to move to another young kitten my age, especially one with my energy level, or I could move in alone with outdoor access in a very quiet environment - because my humans are the most important thing to me - once I've overcome my initial shyness. That's why I think children from 8 years old who play and wrestle with me would be just right. I love action, but I can also cuddle, so I'm a sweet, silly kitten! I will be spayed and microchipped when I'm adopted - I will be adopted either in an apartment with a connected balcony or in outdoor access in a very rural, quiet environment, preferably with secured outdoor access.

Kommt ein Spatz geflogen- so oder so ähnlich könnte die Geschichte zu mir beginnen. Meine Pflegemama sagt immer Wanderfalke hätte eigentlich besser zu mir gepasst als Spatz, denn so schnell wie ich um die Ecken fliege wenn ich mein Spielzeug jage könnte ich es glatt mit dem schnellsten Vogel der Welt aufnehmen. Eigentlich bin ich ein super süßes Mädel, aber ich treibe meine Pflegemama manchmal fast in den Wahnsinn, weil ich so eine überschießende Energie habe und mal im „Flow“ kein Halten mehr kenne. Momentan lebe ich (04/2026 geb.) auf der Pflegestelle mit der kleinen Hilde zusammen die ich manchmal auch komplett überfordere. Aus diesem Grund möchte ich entweder zu einem anderen jungen Kätzchen in meinem Alter; vor allem mit meinem Energielevel umziehen, oder aber bei Freigang in sehr ruhiger Umgebung könnte ich auch alleine einziehen- denn meine Menschen sind das allergrößte für mich- wenn ich meine anfängliche Scheu abgelegt habe. Daher denke ich auch dass Kinder ab 8 Jahren die mit mir toben und spielen genau das Richtige wären. Am liebsten hätte ich immer Action- aber ich kann auch schmusen somit bin ich also eine zuckersüße Knalltüte! Bei Abgabe werde ich kastriert und gechippt sein- vermittelt werde ich entweder in Wohnungshaltung mit vernetztem Balkon oder aber in Freigang in sehr ländlicher, ruhiger Umgebung, gerne auch in gesicherten Freigang.

About Spatz

What life with Spatz looks like

Spatz is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V..

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Spatz, answered.

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