How do I contact the shelter about Biscuit?

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

Can I adopt Biscuit if I live in another country?

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

Biscuit

British Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Biscuit - a young, playful and friendly black cat is looking for a home. 🖤🏡 Biscuit is currently living with other cats in a group at our cat shelter. 🐱🐱 And that's exactly what she likes: Biscuit doesn't want to live as a single cat in her new home either. ❤️ She would therefore like to move out with a suitable cat from her current group. Alternatively, a suitable furry friend should be waiting for her in the new home. The new home should also have a secure balcony where Biscuit can breathe fresh air and observe her surroundings. 🐾🌿 As a typical young cat, she can of course be played with, discovered and a bit silly. 😄🐾 Smaller children are also welcome to join the new family. So if you still have room for a small black British Shorthair - and maybe directly for one of her friends or one of her friends - Biscuit should definitely get to know you. 🖤🥰

🐾Biscuit – kleine schwarze Schönheit sucht ihr Zuhause.🖤🏡 Biscuit ist eine junge, verspielte und verträgliche Katzendame, die aktuell gemeinsam mit anderen Katzen in einer Gruppe in unserem Katzenhaus lebt.🐱🐱 Und genau das gefällt ihr ziemlich gut: Biscuit möchte auch in ihrem neuen Zuhause nicht als Einzelkatze leben.❤️ Am liebsten würde sie deshalb gemeinsam mit einer passenden Katze aus ihrer jetzigen Gruppe ausziehen. Alternativ sollte im neuen Zuhause bereits eine passende Samtpfote auf sie warten. Im neuen Zuhause sollte außerdem ein gesicherter Balkon vorhanden sein, auf dem Biscuit frische Luft schnuppern und ihre Umgebung beobachten kann. 🐾🌿 Typisch junge Katze darf natürlich auch gespielt, entdeckt und ein bisschen Unsinn gemacht werden.😄🐾 Auch kleinere Kinder dürfen gerne zur neuen Familie gehören. Wer also noch Platz für eine kleine schwarze BKH-Dame – und vielleicht direkt für eine ihrer Freundinnen oder einen ihrer Freunde – hat, sollte Biscuit unbedingt kennenlernen.🖤🥰

About Biscuit

What life with Biscuit looks like

Biscuit is a puppy/kitten british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Gelsenkirchen in Gelsenkirchen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
