Streunerkater

Mixed Breed · Male

A beautiful cat, who was a wild stray, is looking for a home. When he appeared a few months ago, he was shy, suspicious and lived by his own rules - a true little stray. But then he was neutered, and since then his nature has changed incredibly. He has gained trust and shows clearly how much he enjoys the closeness to people. Every day he waits for his feeder and runs right behind her - but not just because there is something to eat. Much more important to him now are caresses and lots of cuddling. He actively seeks closeness, wants to be on the arm or lap and even enjoys lying comfortably on the lap. It is clear to him: This cat does not want to be cared for outside anymore. He wants to belong. He wants his own home and people who love him. Therefore, we are looking for a loving home for him, where he can enjoy outdoor time after an adjustment period. His people should give him the time he needs to fully settle in and build trust - because his story shows how beautifully patience and love can pay off. From a wild, shy stray, he has become an incredibly affectionate cat. Now he just needs his own person. Who will give this special cat the chance to a home where he can finally arrive?

Vom wilden Streuner zum Schmusekater – wer schenkt ihm sein Zuhause? Als dieser hübsche Kater vor einigen Monaten auftauchte, war an Nähe überhaupt nicht zu denken. Er war scheu, misstrauisch und lebte ganz nach seinen eigenen Regeln – eben ein echter kleiner Streuner. Doch dann wurde er kastriert, und seitdem hat sich sein Wesen unglaublich verändert. Mittlerweile ist aus dem einst so scheuen Kater ein echtes Schmusemonster geworden! Er hat Vertrauen gefasst und zeigt ganz deutlich, wie sehr er die Nähe zu Menschen genießt. Jeden Tag wartet er auf seine Fütterin und läuft ihr regelrecht hinterher – allerdings nicht nur, weil es etwas zu essen gibt. Viel wichtiger sind ihm inzwischen Streicheleinheiten und ganz viel Kuscheln. Er sucht aktiv die Nähe, möchte auf den Arm bzw. Schoß und genießt es mittlerweile sogar, gemütlich auf dem Schoß zu liegen. Man merkt ihm einfach an: Dieser Kater möchte nicht länger nur draußen umsorgt werden. Er möchte dazugehören. Er möchte ein eigenes Zuhause und Menschen, die ihn liebhaben. Für ihn suchen wir deshalb ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit auch Freigang genießen darf. Seine Menschen sollten ihm die nötige Zeit geben, sich vollständig einzuleben und Vertrauen aufzubauen – denn seine Geschichte zeigt, wie wunderschön sich Geduld und Liebe auszahlen können. Aus einem wilden, scheuen Streuner ist ein unglaublich verschmuster Kater geworden. Jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch sein ganz eigener Mensch. Wer schenkt diesem besonderen Kater die Chance auf ein Zuhause, in dem er endlich ankommen darf?

About Streunerkater

What life with Streunerkater looks like

Streunerkater is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. in Ulm.

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 Streunerkater, answered.

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