Brutus

Persian · Male · Senior · 12 years

Brutus came to our shelter in very poor condition. He was heavily matted and had an inflamed abscess on his face. He had also not been neutered. He is now doing well and has really blossomed. He is initially uncertain around people and needs to gain trust. Since Brutus has probably lived outside for a long time, secure outdoor access would be nice.

Brutus kam in einem sehr schlechten Zustand zu uns ins Tierheim. Er war stark verfilzt und hatte einen entzündeten Abszess im Gesicht. Auch war er noch nicht kastriert. Mittlerweile geht es ihm gut und er ist richtig aufgeblüht. Menschen gegenüber ist er anfangs unsicher und muss erst Vertrauen fassen. Da Brutus wahrscheinlich schon länger draußen gelebt hat wäre gesicherter Freigang schön.

About Brutus

What life with Brutus looks like

Brutus is a small senior persian cat waiting at Tierheim Mülheim in Mülheim.

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 Brutus, answered.

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