Walter

Unknown · Adult · 8 years

I am a striking cat with my two-tone eyes and white fur. Unfortunately, I have a genetic defect that makes me deaf. This does not limit my joy in life at all! What I am missing is a loving, quiet home where my special needs are met. Since I cannot hear, I must live indoors. A secure outdoor area, such as a cat-proof balcony or a secure garden, would be a dream for me! I love to safely explore my surroundings and enjoy fresh air. I especially need a social, friendly feline companion. Since my deafness limits my perception, I need a companion to orient myself with, to communicate with, and to keep me company. Maybe a suitable furry friend is waiting for me with you? Alternatively, I could bring a feline friend from my current environment. My humans should know that I communicate differently: With gestures, facial expressions, and vibrations, you can convey a lot to me. It is important that you do not approach me from behind or touch me unexpectedly - it startles me very much. Some cat experience and empathy would be wonderful.

FR·Show original

"Mit meinen zweifarbigen Augen und meinem weißen Fell bin ich ein echter Hingucker. Leider steckt dahinter auch ein Gendefekt : Ich bin taub. Das schränkt meine Lebensfreude aber keineswegs ein ! Was mir zu meinem Glück noch fehlt, ist ein liebevolles, ruhiges Zuhause, in dem man auf meine besonderen Bedürfnisse eingeht. Da ich Geräusche nicht wahrnehmen kann, muss ich dauerhaft in Wohnungshaltung leben. Ein gesicherter Außenbereich, zum Beispiel ein katzensicherer Balkon oder ein gesicherter Garten, wäre für mich ein ganz großer Traum ! Ich liebe es, meine Umgebung sicher erkunden und frische Luft genießen zu können. Besonders wichtig ist mir außerdem ein sozialer, freundlicher Katzenkumpel. Da ich durch meine Taubheit in meiner Wahrnehmung eingeschränkt bin, brauche ich unbedingt einen Artgenossen, an dem ich mich orientieren kann, mit dem ich kommunizieren und der mir Gesellschaft leisten kann. Vielleicht wartet ja schon eine passende Samtpfote bei dir auf mich ? Alternativ könnte ich auch einen Katzenfreund aus meiner jetzigen Umgebung mitbringen. Meine Menschen sollten wissen, dass ich auf andere Weise kommuniziere : Mit Gestik, Mimik und Vibrationen kann man mir vieles vermitteln. Wichtig ist, dass man sich mir nicht unbemerkt von hinten nähert oder mich überraschend anfasst – das erschreckt mich sehr. Etwas Katzenerfahrung und Einfühlungsvermögen wären deshalb wunderbar."

About Walter

What life with Walter looks like

Walter is an adult cat waiting at SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg in Dudelange.

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 Luxembourg

Shelters often complete vaccinations, microchipping, and a pet passport before adoption, but this varies. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Walter, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Walter?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Walter on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Walter if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg whether they will for Walter, what they require (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 Walter already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Walter. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Walter isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPAD Chats et Chiens Luxembourg about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Walter 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
