Valentino

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Unser kleiner Valentino ist auf der Suche nach seinem neuen Zuhause. Er liebt es, zu spielen, seine Umgebung zu erkunden und immer mittendrin zu sein. Besonders wichtig ist ihm dabei die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Er genießt ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten, kuschelt gerne auf dem Schoß und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit. Unser kleiner Charmeur hat allerdings auch seinen eigenen Kopf. Er versteht sich zwar grundsätzlich gut mit anderen Katzen, möchte die Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen aber am liebsten nicht teilen. Bekommt Valentino zu wenig Zuwendung, läuft etwas nicht nach seinen Vorstellungen oder gerät er unter Stress, reagiert er gelegentlich mit Unsauberkeit. Körperliche Ursachen wurden bereits tierärztlich ausgeschlossen.Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn ein liebevolles, möglichst stressfreies Zuhause, in dem er als kleiner Einzelprinz leben darf. Ideal wären Menschen, die viel Zeit für ihn haben, gerne mit ihm spielen und ihm mit Zuwendung, Geduld und liebevoller Konsequenz begegnen.Auch eine Familie mit schon etwas älteren Kindern können wir uns gut vorstellen. Nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit sollte er außerdem die Möglichkeit bekommen, bei Freigang in einer sicheren Umgebung die Welt zu entdecken.Er hat jede Menge Zuneigung zu verschenken und wartet nur noch auf die richtigen Menschen!

About Valentino

What life with Valentino looks like

Valentino is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ransbach-Baumbach in Germany.

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 Valentino, answered.

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