Wurzel

Male · Young · 3 years

Kastriert und gechipt: ja Farbe/Fell: schwarz-weiß Gesuchte Haltungsform: Freigang Still in der Ecke sitzen? Nicht mit Wurzel! Dieser Kater ist am liebsten mittendrin statt nur dabei. Kaum passiert irgendwo etwas, ist Wurzel zur Stelle, schließlich könnte man ja etwas verpassen. Er ist verspielt, neugierig und immer für eine Runde Action zu haben. Dabei geht es manchmal etwas temperamentvoll zu, denn Wurzel kann im Eifer des Gefechts auch mal etwas grob werden. Deshalb wünscht er sich Menschen, die Freude daran haben, ihn sinnvoll zu beschäftigen und ihm genügend Auslastung bieten. Mit anderen Katzen ist Wurzel sehr sozial und kommt in der Katzengesellschaft bestens zurecht. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit möchte der kleine Abenteurer unbedingt die Welt im Freigang erkunden. Wer einen fröhlichen, aufgeweckten Kater sucht, der jeden Tag Leben ins Haus bringt und mit seiner charmanten Art alle um die Pfote wickelt, sollte Wurzel unbedingt kennenlernen.

About Wurzel

What life with Wurzel looks like

Wurzel is a small young adult cat waiting at Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. in St. Ingbert.

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 Wurzel, answered.

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