Woody

Male

Woody was allowed to stay with us after his neutering surgery and has shown a small increase in bravery every day since then. While he is still reserved, he is beginning to cautiously sniff hands—a wonderful sign that he is building trust. We are confident: With patience, time, and a lot of love, Woody will become a real snuggle cat. Woody is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. He was born around 2022. As a very social tomcat, he lives with us in a group of cats and gets along well with fellow animals. For his future home, he wishes for either cat company or people who can give him a lot of attention. Additionally, it is important that Woody can eventually have free roam again. Now, this special tomcat is searching for his favorite humans who can give him the time to settle in at his own pace. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Woody durfte nach seiner Kastrationsaktion bei uns bleiben und zeigt sich seitdem jeden Tag ein kleines Stückchen mutiger. Noch ist er zurückhaltend, aber er beginnt bereits vorsichtig an Händen zu schnuppern – ein wunderschönes Zeichen dafür, dass er Vertrauen fasst. Wir sind uns sicher: Mit Geduld, Zeit und ganz viel Liebe wird aus Woody ein richtiger Schmusekater. Woody ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und entwurmt. Er wurde etwa 2022 geboren. Als sehr sozialer Kater lebt er bei uns in einer Katzengruppe und kommt gut mit Artgenossen zurecht. Für sein zukünftiges Zuhause wünscht er sich daher entweder Katzengesellschaft oder Menschen, die ihm viel Nähe schenken. Wichtig ist außerdem, dass Woody später wieder Freigang genießen darf. Nun sucht dieser besondere Kater seine Lieblingsmenschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen.

About Woody

What life with Woody looks like

Woody is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Woody, answered.

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