Adopt Taros

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Name: Taros Age: 5 months (as of October 2025) Gender: male, will be neutered soon Taros is a roughly 5-month-old, chipped, and vaccinated kitten – a curious, playful little treasure who will also be neutered soon. He is looking for a loving home as an indoor cat (no outdoor access), preferably with a feline companion to play and cuddle with. Taros has tested positive for Coronavirus (FCoV) – which is not uncommon among cats. Many house cats carry this virus without ever becoming ill. It's important to know that the virus is not transmissible to humans and generally does not affect Taros’s daily life. With good care, high-quality food, and a low-stress environment, he can lead a normal, happy cat life. 💛 Taros wishes for people who are not deterred but instead offer him a forever home with love, patience, and understanding.

Name: TarosAlter: 5 Monate (Stand Oktober 2025)Geschlecht: männlich, wird demnächst kastriert Taros ist ein etwa 5 Monate alter, gechipter und geimpfter Jungkater – ein neugieriger, verspielter kleiner Schatz, der bald auch noch kastriert wird. Er sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause als Wohnungskatze (kein Freigang), gerne mit einem Katzenkumpel zum Spielen und Kuscheln. Bei Taros wurde Corona (FCoV) festgestellt – das ist unter Katzen keine Seltenheit. Viele Stubentiger tragen diesen Virus in sich, ohne jemals krank zu werden. Wichtig zu wissen: Das Virus ist nicht auf Menschen übertragbar und bedeutet für Taros in der Regel keine Einschränkung im Alltag. Mit guter Pflege, hochwertigem Futter und stressarmem Umfeld kann er ein ganz normales, glückliches Katzenleben führen. 💛 Taros wünscht sich Menschen, die sich nicht abschrecken lassen, sondern ihm mit Herz, Geduld und Verständnis ein Zuhause für immer schenken.

About Taros

What life with Taros looks like

Taros is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Oellschuetz in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Taros, answered.

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