Adopt Theo

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 10 months

You can't give this animal a home, but still want to do something good, come and check out our wish list: 🍀 At the animal shelter, I got the name Theo, because I am a found kitten. For a while, I roamed around a residential area, trying to settle in with a family. They feed me because they felt sorry for me, but they didn't want to keep me. So, I was given to the animal shelter. Now, I wait here for my family. I am inquisitive, very affectionate, and playful. My caretakers affectionately call me little heartbreaker. I like other cats, so there should already be another loving cat in your home. Although I am lively, I don't necessarily need free roam. However, you should spend a lot of time with me to keep me from getting bored. Children who don't constantly chase after me can already live in your home. A apartment with a balcony would suit me well. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Sie könnt diesem Tier kein Zuhause schenken, möchten ihm dennoch etwas Gutes tun, schauen Sie doch gerne bei uns auf den Wunschlisten vorbei: 🍀 Im Tierheim bekam ich den Namen Theo, Denn ich bin ein Findelkater. Ich trieb mich längere Zeit in einem Wohngebiet herum und versuchte bei einer Familie einzuziehen. Die füttern mich zwar, weil ich denen leid tat, aber behalten wollten die mich nicht. Somit wurde ich im Tierheim abgegeben. Nun warte ich hier auf meine Familie. Ich bin ein neugieriger, sehr lieber, verspielter Kater. Meine Pfleger nennen mich liebevoll, kleiner Herzensbrecher. Ich mag andere Katzen gerne, somit sollte schon eine andere, liebe Katze bei euch wohnen. Ich bin zwar lebhaft , brauche jedoch nicht unbedingt Freigang Allerdings solltet ihr euch viel mit mir beschäftigen, damit mir nicht langweilig wird. Größere Kinder, die nicht ständig hinter mir herjagen, dürfen schon bei euch wohnen. Eine Wohnung mit Balkon würde mir gut gefallen. Neugierig geworden, dann meldet euch unter

About Theo

What life with Theo looks like

Theo is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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. 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 Theo, answered.

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