Adopt August

Mixed Breed · Male

They call me August here. I am an older neutered tomcat. Since no one misses me, I am now searching for a new home with a yard. I am very easy to care for, quiet, and enjoy being petted. But I do need a lot of space, which is unfortunately not possible here at the animal shelter. And that makes me very, very sad. I would love to roam around outside again. Would you give me a new home?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Mich nennen sie hier August, ich bin ein älterer kastrierter Kater. Da mich niemand vermisst, suche ich nun ein neues Zuhause mit Freigang. Ich bin sehr pflegeleicht, ruhig und lass mich auch gerne streicheln. Aber ich brauche eben viel Freigang, das ist hier im Tierheim leider nicht möglich. Und das macht mich sehr, sehr traurig. So gerne würde ich wieder draußen herumstreunen. Würdest du mir ein neues Zuhause geben?

About August

What life with August looks like

August is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. in Gunzenhausen.

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 August, answered.

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