Äuglein

Male · Senior · 16 years

The dear Äuglein came into our care as a precaution. Now we are searching for a caring home for the cuddly Samtpfote. Due to some health issues and the medications he requires, Äuglein must live as an apartment cat – but he would like to be able to catch some fresh air and enjoy the sun on a secure balcony. The loving tomcat suffers from high blood pressure and the beginning of graying fur. His heart sounds currently do not require any treatment. Future owners must have these checked by a veterinarian regularly.

- lieb, schmusig - freundlich - lässt sich gerne anfassen - stubenrein Der liebe Äuglein kam als Sicherstellung in unsere Obhut. Nun suchen wir ein fürsorgliches Zuhause für die verschmuste Samtpfote. Aufgrund einiger gesundheitlicher Baustellen und seiner benötigten Medikamente muss Äuglein als Wohnungskatze leben - möchte aber auf einem gesicherten Balkon frische Luft schnappen und Sonne genießen können. Der liebe Kater leidet unter Bluthochdruck und einem beginnendem Grauen Star. Seine Herzgeräusche bedürfen zurzeit noch keiner Behandlung. Äugleins zukünftige Menschen müssen diese aber regelmäßig tierärztlich kontrollieren lassen.

About Äuglein

What life with Äuglein looks like

Äuglein is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Äuglein, answered.

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