About Castle

What life with Castle looks like

Castle is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Schwerte in Schwerte.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Castle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Castle?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Schwerte handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Castle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Castle if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Schwerte whether they will for Castle, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Castle already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Castle. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Schwerte, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Castle isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Schwerte about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Castle 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.
