Colin

Male

This little cat is named Colin. Colin came to the shelter as a found animal in July. He gets along great with his fellow cats, likes to lie with them and cuddle. He doesn't seek direct contact with people. However, he occasionally lets himself be touched. Colin shows himself to be a very curious and lively fellow. His curiosity must be satisfied by great wanderings through a beautiful territory.

Dieser kleine Kater heißt Colin. Colin ist im Juli als Fundtier ins Tierheim gekommen. Mit Artgenossen versteht er sich super, liegt gerne mit ihnen zusammen und kuschelt dann gerne. Den direkten Kontakt zu Menschen sucht er nicht. Ab und zu lässt er sich jedoch auch mal anfassen. Colin zeigt sich als sehr neugieriger und aufgeweckter Zeitgenosse. Seine Neugier muss er auf tollen Streifzügen durch ein schönes Revier stillen können.

About Colin

What life with Colin looks like

Colin is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Münster in Münster.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Colin, answered.

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