Törtchen

Female · Adult · 6 years

Törtchen is still a closed door for us at the moment after her owner passed away. We're trying to find the right key, but the older lady makes herself relatively scarce. Probably that's also because she doesn't like moving around much due to her weight. Since she's already older, she should be supported in losing weight urgently as it hinders her joints and fur care. Sometimes the round Törtchen comes out of her box cheerfully meowing to inspect my food. But most of the time she just sits in a corner looking scared. She wouldn't need other cats in her new home or any commotion. Hopefully, in a quiet environment she can finally thaw out.

Törtchen ist nachdem ihr Besitzer verstorben ist, für uns im Moment noch ein verschlossene Tür. Wären wir versuchen den passenden Schlüssel zu finden, macht die ältere Dame sich relativ rar. Vermutlich liegt das aber auch daran, dass sie sich durch ihr Übergewicht nicht so gerne bewegt. Da sie schon älter ist sollte sie dringend bei der Abnahme unterstützt werden, da ihr Gewicht vor allem für ihre Gelenke und die Fellpflege hinderlich ist. Manchmal kommt das runde Törtchen fröhlich krächzend aus ihrer Box, um mir Essen zu begutachten. Doch meistens sitzt sie nur verschüchtert in der Ecke. Andere Katzen bräuchte sie eher nicht in ihrem neuen Zuhause und auch keinen Trubel. Sie wird in einer ruhigen Umgebung hoffentlich endlich auftauen können.

About Törtchen

What life with Törtchen looks like

Törtchen is a adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Törtchen, answered.

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