How do I contact the shelter about Beat?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Tecklenburger Land handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Beat on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Beat if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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 Beat 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 Beat 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 Tecklenburger Land early rather than rehoming privately; they know Beat 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.

Beat

Male · Young · 1 year

A cuddly enthusiast is looking for a home with a full food bowl. Right. I had already found that. So the food bowl. And the home. Unfortunately, there were other cats there... you can get along with them... but you don't have to. They stress me. At least when they are right next to me. Then I grumble and if that's not enough to reduce the stress, I give them a paw. If the person is standing nearby or puts their fingers in between... that's their own fault. No, I'm not a beating monster that destroys everything. I just don't need (cat) gods next to me. Here at the shelter, I currently share an "apartment" with a girl who arrived at the shelter at the same time as me. Man, she really has control... she doesn't let herself be told anything. Everyone has their own cuddling den, we eat separately, then there are no misunderstandings... but it's not friendship. The caretakers say it's a truce with interruptions. Oh I see. Anyway, I wish for an apartment with nice people who don't hold back on cuddles, I really like that. But I also want my freedom and to be allowed outside when I need to. And most importantly: without other cats. Animal adoption is currently only possible by appointment. Therefore, we ask you to contact us by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email if you are interested in one of our animals. More information.

Kuschelbegeisterter Bengel sucht zuhause mit gut gefülltem Fressnapf Richtig. Den hatte ich auch schon gefunden. Also den Fressnapf. Und das zuhause. Dummerweise gab es da andere Katzen……man kann es mit denen aushalten….muss Mann aber nicht. Mich stressen die. Also zumindest wenn sie direkt in meiner Nähe sind. Dann grummele ich und wenn das nicht reicht um Stress abzubauen, gibst was auf die Pfoten. Wenn der Mensch daneben steht bzw. seine Finger dazwischen hält…..selber Schuld. Nein, ich bin kein prügelndes Monster, daß alles niedermetzelt. Ich brauche nur keine (Katzen)-Götter neben mir. Hier im Tierheim teile ich mir zur Zeit ein "Apartement" mit einem Mädel, daß zeitgleich mit mir im Tierheim eingetroffen ist. Mann, die hat aber die Hosen an….die lässt sich so gar nix sagen. Jeder hat seine Kuschelhöhle, gegessen wird getrennt, dann gibt`s auch keine Mißverständnisse….aber Freundschaft ist das nicht. Waffenstillstand mit Unterbrechungen sagen die Pfleger. Aha… Ich wünsche mir jedenfalls eine WG mit netten Menschen, die nicht mit Kuscheleinheiten geizen, die mag ich nämlich total gerne. Aber mir auch meine Freiheiten und auch Freigang nach draußen lassen, wenn ich sie brauche. Und vor allem: ohne andere Katzen. Tiervermittlungen finden zurzeit nur mit Termin statt. Wir bitten Sie daher, sich bei Interesse an einem unserer Tiere vorab telefonisch unter 05481 / 4146 oder per E-Mail mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Beat

What life with Beat looks like

Beat is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

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.
