How do I contact the shelter about Tom?

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 Tom on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tom 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Tom 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 Tom 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 Tom 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.

Tom

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

We are looking for a forever home for Tom, a BestAger cat with a secure balcony or garden. Tom must take his thyroid medication on a 12-hour schedule, which is absolutely no problem for Tom. Tom is a very relaxed and reserved cat. He currently shares his room with Camy, Cindy, and Lilly, all of whom are also looking for a home through our website. Tom gets along just fine with the somewhat disrespectful Cindy, who is forgiven due to her young age, as well as the more mature Lilly, so other friendly cats can be in the new home. Since Tom is not a daredevil, but rather sensitive, it should be quiet in the new home. If Tom can spend a lot of time with his human or humans, he will surely enjoy a single prince's place - with his friendly and calm nature, he would be a good home office cat who probably won't climb on the PC keyboard and write strange emails. Tom is a 'real' cat - in terms of size. As a foster mom, I can only say he is a dream cat and also suitable for beginners. Tom is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you would like to meet Tom, please contact us via the contact form and tell us a bit about yourself and your daily life.

Für Tom suchen wir einen BestAger-Platz mit gesichertem Balkon oder Garten. Tom muss nämlich im 12-Stunden-Rhythmus zuverlässig seine Schilddrüsentropfen einnehmen, was von Seiten Toms absolut unproblematisch ist. Denn Tom ist ein sehr entspannter und zurückhaltender Kater. Aktuell teilt er sich sein Zimmer mit Camy und Cindy sowie Lilly, die alle derzeit über unsere Homepage ebenfalls ein Zuhause suchen. Mit der etwas respektlosen Cindy, der man das aufgrund ihres jungen Alters verzeiht, kommt Tom genauso gut zurecht wie mit der erwachseneren Lilly, so dass es im neuen Zuhause auch andere freundliche Katzen geben darf. Da Tom kein Draufgänger, sondern eher sensibel ist, sollte es im neuen Zuhause ruhig zugehen. Wenn Tom mit seinem Menschen oder mit seinen Menschen viel Zeit verbringen kann, wird er sicher auch ein Einzelprinz-Plätzchen genießen können - mit seiner freundlichen und ruhigen Art wäre er sicher ein guter Home-Office-Kater, der vermutlich nicht über die PC-Tastatur turnen und seltsame Mails verfassen wird. Tom ist ein 'richtiger' Kater - größenmäßig. Als Pflegemama kann ich nur sagen, er ist ein absoluter Traumkater und auch für Anfänger geeignet. Tom ist kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Wenn ihr Tom kennenlernen möchtet, meldet euch bitte über das Kontaktformular und erzählt etwas über euch und euren Alltag.

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
