Alwin

European Shorthair · Male

Alwin is not at the shelter. If you are interested, please contact me directly at 491734573917. Unfortunately, I have to give up my sweet Alwin. Alwin is 6 years old and a very affectionate cat. Unfortunately, he does not get along with other animals in the household and tends to aggressive behavior. Many attempts with behavioral therapy and veterinary care have failed. However, he is extremely affectionate and loving towards humans. Alwin is very sensitive, which is why he is also stressed by other pets. Therefore, I am looking for a home where he can be the sole ruler. Alwin has lived in an apartment, is rather sedentary. He is neutered and healthy.

!!! Alwin lebt nicht im Tierheim !!! Wer Interesse an ihm hat kann sich gerne bei mir direkt melden 491734573917 Leider muss ich mich von meinem süßen Alwin trennen. Alwin ist 6 Jahre und ein sehr Verschmusster lieber Kater. Leider ist er nicht mit anderen Tieren im Haushalt einverstanden und neigt zu sehr aggressiven Verhalten. Viele versuche mit Verhaltenstherapie und Tierarzt sind gescheitert. Allerdings zum Menschen ist er extrem Verschmusst und liebevoll, Alwin ist sehr sensibel, deshalb ist er auch von anderen Haustieren zu gestresst. Deshalb suche ich für ihn ein zu Hause wo er allein Herrscher sein kann. Alwin lebt bisher in der Wohnung, ist eher gemütlich unterwegs. Er ist kastriert und gesund.

About Alwin

What life with Alwin looks like

Alwin is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheimverein Erfurt 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 Alwin, answered.

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