Vlassis

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Vlassis was found on the street by an animal rescuer with rotten teeth, severe gum inflammation, and skin problems. Life as a stray took its toll: At the vet clinic, he was diagnosed with FIV and had to have all his teeth removed except for two corner teeth. Fortunately, since receiving special food, Vlassis has not experienced any more health issues. Due to his FIV condition, Vlassis cannot return to the streets. However, human contact still scares him very much. If someone speaks to him or pays him attention, he hides and spits out of fear, though he does not attack people nor react aggressively. It will likely take a lot of patience and time for Vlassis to develop trust in humans. He desperately needs understanding and experienced cat owners who give him space without pressuring him. And who knows, maybe the anxious tomcat will eventually become a cuddly kitty. Vlassis gets along well with other cats. He is a quiet tomcat who enjoys eating and spends most of his day relaxed. He does not know dogs or children yet. We are looking for a peaceful home for Vlassis with understanding and experienced people. Ideally, there are already confident cats living there that can provide him some security. Vlassis comes treated for fleas, dewormed, vaccinated, and neutered into his new home. Due to his FIV condition, he is strictly an indoor cat. A cat-safe balcony would make him very happy. Possible at a nominal fee of 180 Euros (including transport box). FIV positive, only has two corner teeth left, requires special food. Look-animal welfare association Deutschland e.V.

DE·Show original

Vlassis wurde von einer Tierschützerin mit faulen Zähnen, einer starken Zahnfleischentzündung und Hautproblemen auf der Straße gefunden. Das Leben als Streuner forderte seinen Tribut: In der Tierklinik wurde bei ihm FIV festgestellt und es mussten bis auf zwei Eckzähne alle Zähne gezogen werden. Doch zum Glück hat der weiß-braun-getigerte Kater seitdem er Spezialfutter bekommt keine gesundheitlichen Probleme mehr. Vlassis kann aufgrund seiner FIV Erkrankung nicht zurück auf die Straße. Doch der Kontakt mit Menschen ängstigt ihn immer noch sehr. Spricht man ihn an oder schenkt ihm Aufmerksamkeit, versteckt er sich und faucht vor Angst. Dabei greift Vlassis Menschen jedoch nicht an und reagiert auch nicht aggressiv. Es wird vermutlich sehr viel Geduld und Zeit brauchen, bis Vlassis Vertrauen zu Menschen entwickeln kann. Dazu braucht er unbedingt katzenerfahrene und verständnisvolle Menschen, die ihm die Möglichkeit geben, sich zurückziehen und die ihn nicht bedrängen. Und wer weiß, vielleicht wird der ängstliche Kater irgendwann sogar eine Schmusekatze. Vlassis verträgt sich gut mit anderen Katzen. Er ist ein ruhiger Kater, der gern frisst und den Tag am liebsten ganz entspannt verbringt. Hunde und Kinder kennt er noch nicht. Wir suchen für Vlassis ein ruhiges Zuhause mit verständnisvollen und erfahrenen Menschen. Idealerweise leben hier bereits souveräne Katzen, die ihm etwas Sicherheit geben können. Vlassis zieht entfloht, entwurmt, geimpft und kastriert in sein neues Zuhause. Aufgrund seiner FIV Erkrankung ist er eine reine Wohnungskatze. Über einen katzensicher vernetzten Balkon würde er sich sehr freuen. möglich zum Selbstkostenpreis 180 Euro (inklusive Transportbox) FIV positiv, hat nur noch zwei Eckzähne, benötigt Spezialfutter Alle mit * markierten Felder sind Pflichtfelder.

About Vlassis

What life with Vlassis looks like

Vlassis is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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 Vlassis, answered.

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