How do I contact the shelter about Enso?

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

Can I adopt Enso if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. 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 Enso 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 Enso 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 Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Enso and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Enso

Male · Adult · 8 years

Enso, a beautiful white and tiger-striped cat, was born around 2018. He is neutered and microchipped. Enso is looking for a home with outdoor access, either as a single cat or with a compatible feline companion. Sometimes, luck just needs a little boost. Enso had to leave his home reluctantly because his owner could no longer care for him. It's understandable that this change threw him off initially. At first, the handsome cat preferred the typical "keep your distance" approach, including hissing. However, it's now clear that the real Enso is emerging. With some patience, kind words, and the secret weapon of treats, his heart was quickly won over. Once the ice was broken, Enso thoroughly enjoyed petting and developed into a real cuddly cat. Therefore, don't let his initial shyness deter you. Behind the cautious facade is a very nice guy who will later thank his humans with lots of affection. Enso does not know how to deal with small children and would therefore prefer to move to a quiet home without offspring. He gets along well with other cats, but Enso can also be a bit dominant. Enso can also be happy alone, but he should have outdoor access after his adjustment to prevent boredom. Who will give this sensitive cat the time he needs to settle in? Enso will thank you with trust, cuddles, and lots of cat love. 🐾 If you would like to give Enso a home, we would be happy if you could make an appointment to meet him. Email:

Kastriert und gechipt: ja Alter: geboren ca. 2018 Farbe/Fell: weiß getigert Gesuchte Haltungsform: Freigang Einzelkatze oder auch mit passender Katzengesellschaft Manchmal braucht das Glück einfach ein bisschen Anlauf. Enso musste sein Zuhause schweren Herzens verlassen, weil sein Besitzer sich nicht mehr um ihn kümmern konnte. Dass ihn diese Veränderung erst einmal aus der Bahn geworfen hat, kann man ihm wohl kaum verübeln. Anfangs zeigte der hübsche Kater lieber die typische „Bitte Abstand halten“-Variante – inklusive Fauchen. Doch inzwischen merkt man , wie der wahre Enso zum Vorschein kommt. Mit etwas Geduld, lieben Worten und der Geheimwaffe Leckerlis hat man sein Herz schnell erobert. Und wenn das Eis erst einmal gebrochen ist, genießt Enso Streicheleinheiten in vollen Zügen und entwickelt sich zu einem echten Schmusekater. Deshalb gilt: Lasst euch von seiner eventuellen, anfänglichen Schüchternheit nicht abschrecken. Hinter der vorsichtigen Fassade steckt ein ganz lieber Kerl, der seinen Menschen später mit viel Zuneigung danken wird. Enso kennt keine kleinen Kinder und möchte deshalb lieber in ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Nachwuchs ziehen. Mit einer netten Samtpfote kommt er gut zurecht, jedoch kann Enso auch etwas dominant werden. Enso kann aber auch alleine glücklich sein – dann sollte er nach seiner Eingewöhnung jedoch Freigang bekommen, damit ihm nicht langweilig wird. Wer schenkt diesem sensiblen Kater die Zeit, die er braucht, um anzukommen? Enso wird es euch mit Vertrauen, Schmuseeinheiten und ganz viel Katzenliebe danken. 🐾 Wenn Sie Enso ein Zuhause schenken möchten, freuen wir uns, wenn Sie einen Termin zum Kennenlernen vereinbaren.
