Alfred

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Cat Alfred was found in Gronau back in February, and no one seemed to be missing him. When he came to us, he was severely limping on his left hind leg. Following X-rays and knee surgery, Alfred is now ready to look for suitable adopters. He’ll always have a slight limp in his left hind leg, but he won’t need any medication in the long run—Alfred is doing just fine with it now. We’re hoping Alfred will find a lovely new home with the possibility of eventually being allowed outside. Note: If you click on any of the links below, you’ll be redirected to the corresponding page.

Kater Alfred wurde bereits im Februar in Gronau aufgefunden und niemand schien ihn zu vermissen. Als er zu uns kam, humpelte er mit dem linken Hinterbein stark. Nach Röntgenuntersuchungen und einer Knie Operation darf Alfred nun Ausschau nach passenden Interessenten halten. Mit seinem linken Hinterbein wird er immer etwas humpeln, er benötigt aber auf Dauer keine Medikamente, Alfred kommt damit nun gut zurecht. Wir wünschen uns für Alfred ein schönes neues Zuhause, mit späterem Freigang. Hinweis: Wenn sie einen der nachfolgenden Links anklicken werden sie auf die entsprechende Seite weiter geleitet.

About Alfred

What life with Alfred looks like

Alfred is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus in Germany.

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 Alfred, answered.

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