Sprotte

Female · Adult · 8 years

Sprotte was found and no one came forward to claim her. After some time at the shelter she could be adopted but unfortunately she returned because due to a move her humans could not provide her with outdoor access anymore. Sprotte desperately wants to have that again. The somewhat shy female cat Sprotte needs some time to warm up to strangers but once she gets to know someone better she is affectionate and friendly. Of course Sprotte can also be a bit stubborn, but that's just how cats are. Sprotte suffers from a food allergy which means she requires special food and sometimes a pill. Sprotte wishes for a quiet home without young children. She wants to have outdoor access again because she is not a house cat.

DE·Show original

Sprotte wurde aufgefunden und es meldete sich niemand der sie vermisste. Nach einiger Zeit im Tierheim konnte sie vermittelt werden, doch leider kam sie nun wieder zurück weil sie bei ihren Menschen aufgrund eines Umzugs keinen Freigang mehr bekommen konnte. Diesen möchte Sprotte aber unbedingt wieder haben. Die etwas schüchterne Katzendame Sprotte braucht etwas Zeit um mit fremden Menschen warm zu werden. Kennt sie eine Person etwas besser ist sie aber verschmust und freundlich. Natürlich kann Sprotte auch etwas eigenwillig sein, aber so gehört es sich für eine Katze ja auch. Sprotte leidet an einer Futtermittelallergie und aufgrund dessen benötigt sie spezielles Futter und bei Bedarf auch einmal eine Tablette. Sprotte wünscht sich ein ruhiges zu Hause ohne kleine Kinder. Sie möchte unbeding wieder Freigang bekommen, denn sie ist kein reiner Stubenhocker.

About Sprotte

What life with Sprotte looks like

Sprotte is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

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 Sprotte, answered.

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