How do I contact the shelter about Stefan?

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

Can I adopt Stefan if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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 Stefan 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 Stefan 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stefan 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.

Stefan

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Stefan Age: born 2025 Gender: male, neutered Character: friendly, social, very people-oriented Special feature: none! No single housing! Hello, I am Stefan! I learned early on how hard life on the streets can be. Everywhere there were dangers, and every day was a fight for food and a safe place to sleep. That was my everyday life - until someone found me one day and took me home. There I experienced for the first time what it means to be safe, and I began to learn how to behave properly in a home. Although I was allowed to experience this first sense of security, one thing is very important: a life on the streets is never an option for me again. The streets in Romania are too dangerous - there are hunger, diseases, traffic and many other risks that can end a young life quickly. That's why I'm looking for a safe home where I can stay forever and never be exposed to this danger again. I am a young, eager to learn cat who enjoys attention, patience and a loving environment. With some time, I will surely become a faithful and grateful companion. Maybe you are the person I can finally come to? I am already neutered and have received the first vaccinations (panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and rabies) and have been chipped. I also received spot-on and deworming treatment. You can read all of this in my EU pet passport. See you hopefully soon, your Stefan

Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Barlad, Rumänien Alter: geb. 2025 Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Charakter: freundlich, sozial, sehr menschenbezogen Besonderheit: keine! Keine Einzelhaltung! Hallo, ich bin Stefan! Ich habe schon früh gelernt, wie hart das Leben auf der Straße sein kann. Überall lauerten Gefahren, und jeder Tag war ein Kampf um Futter und einen sicheren Platz zum Schlafen. Das war mein Alltag – bis mich eines Tages ein Mensch gefunden und mit nach Hause genommen hat. Dort habe ich zum ersten Mal erfahren, wie es ist, in Sicherheit zu sein, und ich habe begonnen zu lernen, wie man sich in einem Zuhause richtig verhält. Auch wenn ich diese erste Geborgenheit kennenlernen durfte, ist eines ganz wichtig: Ein Leben auf der Straße kommt für mich niemals wieder in Frage. Die Straßen in Rumänien sind viel zu gefährlich – dort lauern Hunger, Krankheiten, Verkehr und viele andere Risiken, die ein so junges Leben schnell beenden können. Ich wünsche mir deshalb ein sicheres Zuhause, in dem ich für immer bleiben darf und nie wieder dieser Gefahr ausgesetzt bin. Ich bin ein junger, lernfreudiger Kater, der sich über Zuwendung, Geduld und ein liebevolles Umfeld freut. Mit etwas Zeit werde ich sicher ein treuer und dankbarer Begleiter. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, bei dem ich endlich ankommen darf? Ich bin bereits kastriert und habe die ersten Impfungen erhalten (Katzenseuche, Katzenschnupfen und Tollwut) und bin gechipt. Außerdem habe ich noch Spot on und Wurmkur bekommen. Das alles kannst du dann in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Bis hoffentlich bald, dein Stefan

About Stefan

What life with Stefan looks like

Stefan is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
