Tarek

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 7 months

Hallo, ich bin Tarek! Geboren wurde ich ungefähr im März 2026 und ich habe jede Menge Unsinn im Kopf. 😸 Ich bin ein lieber, anhänglicher und verspielter Kerl, der neugierig die Welt entdeckt. Am liebsten bin ich überall dabei und möchte natürlich auch wissen, was meine Menschen gerade so treiben. Und weil ich nicht nur neugierig, sondern auch ziemlich gesprächig bin, habe ich euch bestimmt einiges zu erzählen. 😉 Was mir jetzt noch fehlt? Ein eigenes Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem ich meine Abenteuer erleben kann. Und weil das Leben zu zweit einfach schöner ist, wünsche ich mir einen etwa gleichaltrigen Katzenkumpel, mit dem ich spielen, toben und die Welt entdecken kann. Du suchst einen verschmusten, verspielten und unternehmungslustigen Mitbewohner? Dann könnte ich genau der Richtige für dich sein! ❤️ Wenn Sie ihn kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Tarek

What life with Tarek looks like

Tarek is a kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Tarek, answered.

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