Tempo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Tempo is a slightly older gentleman, and sometimes you can tell. He is a quiet cat who likes it cozy, but at the same time he enjoys attention and petting very much. He also likes to tell you what's on his mind. However, there is one thing Tempo takes very seriously: his food. His daily meals should not be too late. Otherwise, you can expect a detailed discussion about why it's taking so long.

DE·Show original

EKH geboren ca. 2014 männlich, kastriert FIV und FelV negativ Wohnungshaltung (gesicherter Freigang) Tempo ist ein etwas älterer Herr und manchmal merkt man ihm das auch an. Er ist ein ruhiger Kater, der es gemütlich mag, gleichzeitig aber Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten sehr genießt. Dabei erzählt er auch gerne mal, was ihm gerade durch den Kopf geht. Eine Sache nimmt Tempo allerdings besonders ernst: sein Futter. Seine täglichen Mahlzeiten sollten besser nicht zu spät kommen. Sonst darf man sich auf eine ausführliche Diskussion darüber einstellen, warum das denn bitte so lange dauert.

About Tempo

What life with Tempo looks like

Tempo is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Speyer in Speyer.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Tempo, answered.

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