European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 6 months

Xaver kam als Fundtier zu uns. Er war ein paar Monate vermittelt, leider musste er jetzt unverschuldet wieder zurück zu uns. Xaver ist noch etwas zurückhaltend, taut aber schnell auf und ist dann sehr verspielt. Mit anderen Katzen hat er keine Probleme. Xaver ist 6 Monate alt, geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Die Kastration steht noch an. Nach der Eingewöhnungszeit braucht er eine Freigangmöglichkeit. Wer hat ein Plätzchen frei? Wer möchte ihm ein neues Zuhause geben?

About Xaver

What life with Xaver looks like

Xaver is a kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ulm in Ulm.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Xaver, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Xaver?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ulm handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Xaver on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Xaver if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ulm 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Xaver 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 Xaver 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 Ulm early rather than rehoming privately; they know Xaver 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.
