Color: Gray tabby with white markings: 2016Location found: KeulosCategories: Male Cat, Cats, AnimalsDescriptionDescriptionWith Erwin, you can clearly see what life is like for a male cat who has never had a proper home—or who has been living without one for a long time. Apparently, no one has cared for him for quite some time. He’s thin, has had untreated feline upper respiratory infection for who knows how long, is infested with parasites, and has other diagnoses, including toxoplasmosis. For his estimated 10 years, that’s already a lot. Since he’s been with us, he’s been staying in a single cage for treatment—and he’ll probably have to remain there for quite some time yet. Therefore, we can’t say how he gets along with other cats, but he’s friendly toward people. In the future, he’d love a cozy little spot on the sofa where he could be pampered and cared for and enjoy a happy life again.Info: The animal descriptions are based on observations made at the animal shelter or on information provided by third parties and do not constitute guaranteed characteristics!Erwin11.06.2026.

About Erwin

What life with Erwin looks like

Erwin is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Fulda in Fulda.

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 Erwin, answered.

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