Urmel &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Urmel was born on 15.06.2026. The little cat is very active, playful and curious. He attentively explores his surroundings, likes to play and frolic and is lively in a way appropriate for his age. After his active phases, he also likes to seek the company of his humans and shows himself affectionate. Urmel has been vaccinated and chipped once. We wish for Urmel a species-appropriate indoor living situation. Due to his young age and his pronounced need for play, he will not be placed in solitary housing. He should either move in with a suitable sibling (Lisi or Sams) or to an existing, age-appropriate and social cat. Urmel is looking for a loving home where he can grow up in a way appropriate for his age, receive sufficient attention and have a suitable cat partner for joint activities.

Urmel wurde am 15.06.2026 geboren. Der kleine Kater ist sehr aktiv, verspielt und neugierig. Er erkundet aufmerksam seine Umgebung, spielt und tobt gerne und ist dabei altersentsprechend lebhaft. Nach seinen aktiven Phasen sucht er auch gerne die Nähe seiner Menschen und zeigt sich verschmust. Urmel ist einmal geimpft und gechipt. Für Urmel wünschen wir uns eine artgerechte Wohnungshaltung. Aufgrund seines jungen Alters und seines ausgeprägten Spielbedürfnisses wird er nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt. Er sollte entweder gemeinsam mit einem passenden Geschwisterchen ( Lisi oder Sams ) oder zu einer bereits vorhandenen, altersgerechten und sozialen Katze ziehen. Urmel sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er altersgerecht aufwachsen kann, ausreichend Beschäftigung erhält und einen passenden Katzenpartner für gemeinsame Aktivitäten hat.

About Urmel &#8211

What life with Urmel &#8211 looks like

Urmel &#8211 is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. in Gangelt.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Urmel &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Urmel &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Urmel &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Urmel &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenrettung Gangelt 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 Urmel &#8211 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 Urmel &#8211 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 Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Urmel &#8211 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.
