Ulf

Male · Young · 2 years

Ulf has been spotted roaming around Ulmen for several weeks. Unfortunately, the previous owner search was unsuccessful, so the red cat is now looking for a new home. Ulf from Ulmen is a young, neutered, unfortunately unmarked tomcat. He still needs to gain some weight as he's really thin and has a huge appetite. He is playful, loves cuddling and we could imagine him getting along with another well-socialized cat in the new home. Since Ulf is in foster care, interested parties are asked to call the animal shelter first.

DE·Show original

Ulf wurde schon seit mehrere Wochen herumstreunernd in Ulmen gesichtet. Leider gestaltete sich die bisherige Besitzersuche erfolglos, sodass der rote Kater nun auf die Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause geht. Ulf aus Ulmen ist ein noch junger, kastrierter, leider nicht gekennzeichneter Kater. Aktuell hat er noch einiges zuzusetzen, denn er ist wirklich dünn und hat einen mordsmäßigen Appetit. Er ist verspielt, schmust gerne und wir könnten uns auch vorstellen, dass er mit einer weiteren gut sozialisierten Katze im neuen Zuhause zurechtkommen würde. Da sich Ulf in einer Pflegestelle befindet, bitten wir Interessenten vorab im Tierheim anzurufen.

About Ulf

What life with Ulf looks like

Ulf is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Ulf, answered.

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