Adopt Dimitri

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

The tomcat Dimitri was found in location in mid-October. He was not neutered and had not been missed anywhere, showing very reserved and fearful behavior and wanted to go back outside immediately after castration. Therefore, we have released him on our premises, and Dmitri has decided to stay as a farm cat with us. Patrons can support Dimitri with a sponsorship. Animal shelter account: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

Der Kater Dimitri wurde Mitte Oktober in Lage gefunden. Er war nicht kastriert und wurde nirgends vermisst, zeigte sich sehr zurückhaltend und ängstlich und wollte nach der Kastration unbedingt wieder nach draußen. Deshalb haben wir ihn auf unserem Gelände freigelassen, und Dimitri hat sich entschieden, zunächst als Hofkater bei uns zu bleiben. Ein eigenes Zuhause würde ihm aber noch viel besser gefallen. Gern kann man Dimitri auch mit einer Patenschaft unterstützen. Tierheimkonto: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

About Dimitri

What life with Dimitri looks like

Dimitri is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Detmold in Detmold.

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 Dimitri, answered.

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