Enrico

European Shorthair · Male

Enrico ist ein frecher, junger Kater und möchte nun endlich sein Zuhause finden. Gemeinsam mit seinen vier Brüdern wurde Enrico aufgefunden und zu uns gebracht. Die fünf schienen Menschenkontakt nicht zu kennen, weshalb einige sehr Skeptisch sind. Aber nicht so Enrico. Er ist so neugierig, dass er seine Angst schnell überwindet und Streicheinheiten richtig genießen und sogar einfordern kann. Dabei ist er natürlich noch etwas vorsichtig, aber in einem richtigen Zuhause wird sich das schnell legen. Enrico versteht sich hervorragend mit anderen Katzen und braucht diese auch. In seinem neuen Zuhause sollte also bereits eine Katze auf ihn warten oder er nimmt einen Stubenkumpel aus dem Tierheim mit. Enrico ist wichtig, dass er, nach seiner Eingewöhnungsphase Freigang in verkehrsberuhigter Lage bekommt. Fragebogen zum Download: Fragebogen zur Aufnahme von Katzen

About Enrico

What life with Enrico looks like

Enrico is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Gütersloh in Gütersloh.

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 Enrico, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Enrico?
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 Enrico on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Enrico 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 Enrico 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 Enrico 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 Enrico 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.
