Arthas

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

At 12 weeks old, the little tomcat Arthas has plenty of energy and can’t wait to finally explore the world outside our animal shelter. Arthas is an absolutely lively and curious young cat who’s always up for a game and longs for his own family. At the shelter, he’s already found a close buddy: the little tomcat Erik. The two boys are currently living together and get along wonderfully, which is why they’d be thrilled to pack their bags together and move into their new home as a pair. However, this isn’t mandatory—Arthas can also be rehomed separately from Erik, provided that his new home already has a playmate of roughly the same age waiting for him, since he will not be placed in solitary confinement. If you’d like to give the charming Arthas (and perhaps also Erik) a loving forever home, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

Mit seinen 12 Wochen hat der kleine Kater Arthas jede Menge Energie und möchte endlich die Welt außerhalb unseres Tierheims entdecken. Arthas ist ein absolut aufgeweckter, neugieriger Jungkater, der für jedes Spiel zu haben ist und sich nach einer eigenen Familie sehnt. Im Tierheim hat er bereits einen dicken Kumpel gefunden: den kleinen Kater Erik. Die beiden Jungs wohnen aktuell zusammen und verstehen sich prächtig, weshalb sie sich riesig freuen würden, gemeinsam die Koffer zu packen und zusammen in ihr neues Zuhause zu ziehen. Dies ist jedoch kein Muss – Arthas kann auch getrennt von Erik vermittelt werden, sofern im neuen Zuhause bereits ein etwa gleichaltriger Spielgefährte auf ihn wartet, da er nicht in Einzelhaltung abgegeben wird. Wenn Sie dem charmanten Arthas (und vielleicht auch Erik) ein liebevolles Körbchen schenken möchten, freuen wir uns über Ihre Kontaktaufnahme.

About Arthas

What life with Arthas looks like

Arthas is a extra-large 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 Arthas, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Arthas?
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 Arthas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Arthas 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 Arthas 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 Arthas 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 Arthas 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.
