How do I contact the shelter about EKH Hannes?

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

Can I adopt EKH Hannes if I live in another country?

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

EKH Hannes

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

My name is Hannes. I am male, neutered, and born around 2016. I have been waiting since April 2021 for a new home. This is what my caretakers say about me. Hannes is one of two adopted Fellschnutes from a supported feeding station that must be dissolved, and he was taken in by a friendly association. At first, he was shy and understandably overwhelmed by the situation. Despite this, Hannes was easily handled, and now he is a shy snuggler who is gaining more and more trust in us every day. In recent days, he even asks for cuddles when he feels the stroking hand of a biped. He would certainly make a good second cat, and a secure roam would be nice, but it is not a condition. If there are children present, they should bring the necessary understanding for an initially reserved cat, especially at the beginning. Patience is required for his adjustment period, and then Hannes will surely become a cuddly family member when he feels safe. Who would like to give our Hannes a safe and loving home?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Mein Name ist Hannes. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2016 geboren. Ich warte seit April 2021 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich. Hannes ist einer von zwei übernommenen Fellschnuten aus einer betreuten Futterstelle, die aufgelöst werden muss und ist von einem befreundeten Verein übernommen worden. Anfänglich war er schüchtern und mit der Situation verständlicherweise überfordert. Trotzdem war Hannes gut händelbar, inzwischen ist er ein schüchterner Schmuser und bekommt täglich mehr und mehr Vertrauen zu uns. Seit wenigen Tagen fordert er sogar Streicheleinheiten ein, spürt er die streichelnde Hand eines Zweibeiners. Er würde sich sicher gut als Zweitkatze eignen, gesicherter Freigang wär schön, ist aber nicht Bedingung. Sind Kinder vorhanden, sollten diese, besonders zu Beginn, das nötige Verständnis für eine anfänglich zurückhaltende Katze mitbringen. Für seine Eingewöhnungszeit ist Geduld erforderlich, dann wird auch Hannes bestimmt schnell zu einem verschmusten Familienmitglied, wenn er sich sicher fühlt. Wer möchte unserem Hannes ein behütetes und sicheres Zuhause schenken?
