How do I contact the shelter about Burrito?

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

Can I adopt Burrito if I live in another country?

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

I am Burrito 🥰 My mom is a feral house cat. I was born in a horse stable and it took a really long time for me to get caught in a live trap 🫣 I was crazy about spinning... Mom had taught me that people are really scary... Now I've realized that it's nice when you get petted 😍 I'm a rather quiet guy and would like a kitten buddy who matches my temperament 😊 Here at the shelter, we'll probably find someone suitable, or maybe a kitten already lives with you? I would like to live in an apartment 🏡🥰 Who has the right spot, write an email: we'll then arrange a meeting ❤️🍀 Hope to see you soon, your Burrito ❤️ (The description from us is just a snapshot from shelter life.

About Burrito

What life with Burrito looks like

Burrito is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Wetzlar in Wetzlar.

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.
