Tilo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

I am Thilo, the brave and curious little kitten, the fourth member of our sibling quartet. From the beginning, I was the most adventurous of all: always curious, open, and always the first to initiate cuddles! Only with strangers am I initially a bit unsure. That's why I'm looking for cat-experienced people who understand this and give me the time I need. I can promise you, whoever wins my trust will receive a particularly affectionate and loyal cuddle cat as a friend. The reason I'm initially unsure is that I had little human contact with my siblings during the imprinting phase. Our mom gave birth to us in a garden (that was last year around May/June) and initially hid us for safety. But we were all lucky to be rescued and our mom could now remain spayed. Of course, I am spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, and also ready for relocation. Since I am very drawn to the outdoors, I would absolutely need a home where this is possible without danger. Then my happiness would be complete. But of course, only after a thorough acclimation period. It would also be nice to have cat company, because I am very social and love contact with my fellow felines. I would be happy to bring one of the youngsters from the foster home or my sister Tammi along. Do you have a place in your heart for a little book cat? Then contact my foster mom and tell her a bit about yourself so she can assess whether we would be a good match.

Miau, ich bin der Bilderbuchtiger Thilo und das vierte Mitglied unserers Geschwisterquartetts. Von Anfang an, war ich der Mutigste von allen: immer neugierig, offen und stets der Erste in der Schmuserunde! Nur bei Fremden bin ich erstmal etwas unsicher. Deshalb suche ich katzenerfahrene Menschen, die dafür Verständnis haben und mir die Zeit geben, die ich brauche. Ich kann Ihnen versprechen, wer mein Vertrauen gewinnt, erhält einen besonders herzlichen und treuen Schmusekater als Freund. Warum ich erstmal unsicher bin, liegt daran, dass ich mit meinern Geschwistern in der Prägephase wenig Menschenkontakt hatte. Unsere Mama hat uns in einem Garten zur Welt gebracht (das war letztes Jahr ca. im Mai/Juni) und uns erstmal zur Sicherheit versteckt. Aber wir hatten alle das Glück, gerettet zu werden und unsere Mama konnte nun kastriert dort bleiben. Natürlich bin ich kastriert, gekennzeichnet und geimpft und auch bereit für den Umzug. Da es mich sehr nach draußen zieht, möchte ich unbedingt ein Zuhause, in dem das gefahrlos möglich ist. Dann wäre mein Glück perfekt. Aber das natürlich erst nach einer gründlichen Eingewöhnungszeit. Schön wäre auch Katzengesellschaft, denn ich bin sehr sozial und liebe den Kontakt zu Artgenossen. Ich kann gerne mit einem der Jungspunde von der Pflegestelle oder auch meine Schwester Tammi mitbringen. Haben Sie einen Platz in Ihrem Herzen für einen Bilderbuchtiger frei? Dann melden Sie sich bei meiner Pflegemama und erzählen ein bisschen über sich, damit sie einschätzen kann, ob wir gut zusammenpassen.

About Tilo

What life with Tilo looks like

Tilo is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Stuttgart e.V..

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tilo, answered.

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