How do I contact the shelter about Eisenherz &#8211?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Gütersloh handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eisenherz &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Eisenherz &#8211 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Gütersloh 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 Eisenherz &#8211 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 Eisenherz &#8211 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 Tierschutzverein Gütersloh early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eisenherz &#8211 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Eisenherz &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

The handsome tomcat Eisenherz – Paten gesucht ! was found in November 2020 in a closed transport box. In December 2020, Eisenherz – Paten gesucht ! was allowed to move into a new home for the first time, but had to return in January 2021 because he kept challenging and attacking his then owner. Since April 2021, Eisenherz – Paten gesucht ! has been living in a foster home where he will stay for the rest of his life. There, he can finally enjoy his life. He is now playful and gets along well with his new partner Ellie. He also likes to snuggle and sleeps in bed with his "new mom." New people and visitors still scare him, but that is getting better. Due to kidney insufficiency, he often has to visit the vet and needs special food (which is not exactly cheap), we are now looking for a food guardian for the little man. The food for him is Royal Canin Renal (for cats with kidney insufficiency) and costs around 80€ per month. Do you have an interest in becoming a food guardian for Eisenherz – Paten gesucht !? Then please contact the animal shelter Gütersloh by email at: or fill out a sponsorship application directly on our homepage ( ).

Der hübsche Kater Eisenherz wurde im November 2020 ausgesetzt in einer geschlossenen Transportbox gefunden. Im Dezember 2020 durfte Eisenherz erstmals in ein neues Zuhause ziehen, aus dem er allerdings im Januar 2021 schon zurückkam, da er seine damalige Besitzerin immer wieder gestellt und angegriffen hat. Er lebt seit April 2021 in einer Pflegestelle in der er für den Rest seines Lebens bleiben darf. Dort kann er nun endlich sein Leben genießen. Er ist inzwischen verspielt und versteht sich gut mit seiner neuen Partnerin Ellie. Auch kuscheln tut er inzwischen für sein Leben gerne und schläft bei seiner „neuen Mama“ mit im Bett. Neue Menschen und Besuch findet er immer noch sehr gruselig, aber auch das wird immer besser. Dadurch das er an einer Niereninsuffizienz leidet und somit des Öfteren zum Tierarzt muss und auch ein spezielles Futter braucht (& auch diesen nur verträgt), welches nicht gerade günstig ist, suchen wir nun für den kleinen Mann einen Futterpaten. Das Futter für ihn ist das Royal Canin Renal (für Katzen mit Niereninsuffizienz) und beläuft sich pro Monat auf ca. 80€. Haben Sie Interesse für Eisenherz eine Futterpatenschaft zu übernehmen, dann melden Sie sich bitte im Tierheim Gütersloh per Email unter der: oder füllen Sie direkt auf unserer Homepage einen Patenschaftsantrag ( ) aus.
