Adoption Requirements | Adoption Process | Request Information About This Animal Now! Adoption Requirements | Adoption Process | Request Information About This Cat Now! A story straight out of a nightmare: The stunningly beautiful, red tiger was discovered by our caregivers purely by chance. Spirit was stuffed into a bag by cruel people who had tied his paws together and abandoned him near a forest. Completely exhausted, starving, and dehydrated, we feared for his life. Yet he fought valiantly—and now he’s ready to set off in search of his safe haven. Despite all the cruelty he’s endured, Spirit has never lost his trust in humans. He’s sweet, gentle, loves attention, and happily curls up on his two-legged caregiver’s lap for cuddles. Spirit longs for a safe home where he can finally experience the security and love he so richly deserves. Ideally, there would already be another cat waiting for him in this home—or he’d be allowed to move in with one, as he gets along wonderfully with other cats and doesn’t like being alone. Additionally, this little rascal would still love to enjoy outdoor access, which is why we can only place him in a home located in a safe, low-traffic, quiet neighborhood. Due to his past, he shows a very slight restriction in movement—but it’s hardly noticeable and doesn’t bother him at all. When he leaves us, for a protection fee, he’ll be microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, flea-treated, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Spirit also comes with an EU pet passport. If you’d like to finally give him the well-deserved, secure little spot he deserves, we’d love to hear from you! A big thank you to Daniela B.—thanks to you, Spirit has received his wonderful name and thus the chance at happiness. As of June 25, 2026.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diese Katze anfragen! Eine Geschichte wie aus einem Albtraum: Der wunderhübsche, rote Tiger wurde von unseren Pflegern durch Zufall entdeckt. Spirit wurde von grausamen Menschen mit zusammen gebundenen Pfoten in eine Tasche gesteckt und in der Nähe eines Waldes ausgesetzt. Völlig entkräftet, ausgehungert und dehydriert bangten wir um sein Leben. Doch er kämpfte und ist bereit sich nun auf die Suche nach seinem sicheren Hafen zu machen. Spirit hat trotz all der Grausamkeiten, die er erfahren musste sein Vertrauen in die Menschen nicht verloren. Er ist lieb, sanft, genießt die Aufmerksamkeit und kuschelt sich auch auf dem Schoß seiner Zweibeiner zusammen. Spirit sehnt sich nach einem sicheren Zuhause, in dem er endlich die Geborgenheit und Liebe erfährt, die er verdient hat. In diesem Zuhause sollte auch bereits eine weitere Katze auf ihn warten oder gemeinsam mit ihm einziehen dürfen, da er auch mit seinen Artgenossen bestens klar kommt und nicht alleine sein möchte. Außerdem möchte der kleine Strolch gerne weiterhin den Freigang genießen, weshalb wir ihn nur in ein Zuhause in einer sicheren, verkehrsarmen, ruhigen Gegend vermitteln können. Aufgrund seiner Vorgeschichte, zeigt er eine ganz leichte Bewegungseinschränkung, die aber kaum auffällt und ihn vor allem nicht belastet. Bei seiner Ausreise, die er gegen eine Schutzgebühr antreten darf, ist er gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, entfloht und negativ auf FiV und FelV getestet. Spirit ist außerdem in Besitz eines EU-Heimtierausweises. Wenn du ihm endlich sein wohlverdientes und sicheres Plätzchen geben möchtest, freuen wir uns auf deine Nachricht! Lieben Dank an Daniela B. – dank dir hat Spirit seinen großartigen Namen und somit die Chance auf Glück erhalten. Stand: 25.06.2026 Weitere Informationen zum Thema Vorkontrolle und Schutzgebühr

About Spirit

What life with Spirit looks like

Spirit is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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 Spirit, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Spirit?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Spirit on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Spirit if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Spirit 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 Spirit 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Spirit 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.
