Update

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Pünktchen is one of our oldest shelter residents. He's almost 20 years old, and recently, he's been plagued by kidney, dental, and digestive issues. However, he still enjoys life, so we tactfully overlook his age-related "accidents." Pünktchen is as much a part of us as the apple is to the sine, and we will do everything we can to make his life as pleasant as possible until the end. Anyone who wants to help us can do so with a monthly donation through a sponsorship or/and by donating his special food.

Pünktchen ist einer unserer ältesten Tierheimbewohner. Er hat schon fast 20 Jahre auf dem Buckel und gerade in letzter Zeit, plagen ihn Nieren, Zähne und die Verdauung. Noch hat er aber Freude am Leben, so dass wir seine altersbedingten „Unsauberkeiten“ taktvoll übersehen. Pünktchen gehört zu uns wie der Apfel zur Sine und wir werden ihm bis zum Schluß sein Leben so angenehm wie möglich bereiten. Wer uns dabei helfen möchte , kann dies mit einer monatlichen Spende mittels einer Patenschaft oder/und mit einer Spende seines Spezialfutters. Paten gesucht, Tierheimbewohner

About Update

What life with Update looks like

Update is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wertheim e.V. in Wertheim.

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 Update, answered.

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