Evan

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Evan, an 8-10 year old mixed breed cat, has likely lived as a stray for many years and is now looking for a forever home. He came to our shelter with the scars of a tough life, but we hope he can start a new chapter. Evan is a shy cat who is initially cautious around strangers, but with patience and calmness, he allows himself to be touched and shows he wants to trust. We are confident that in a loving home, his gentle nature will shine through even more. Evan has been diagnosed with Calicivirus, which is likely to be permanent, so he cannot live with healthy cats. A home as a single cat or with another Calici-positive cat would be ideal for him. Evan also needs a dental procedure as he is suspected to have FORL and will likely have all his teeth removed. Cats usually cope very well with this and often gain significantly in quality of life. We are looking for understanding people who can give an older cat with a past the time to settle in and build trust. Those who give him this chance will be rewarded with a grateful and lovable companion who can finally experience what it feels like to have a safe home.

Viele Jahre hat Evan vermutlich als Streuner gelebt – jetzt wünscht er sich endlich ein sicheres Zuhause. Der etwa 8 bis 10 Jahre alte Fundkater kam mit den Spuren eines harten Lebens zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun soll für ihn ein neues Kapitel beginnen. Evan ist ein eher schüchterner Kater, der fremden Menschen zunächst vorsichtig begegnet. Mit Geduld und Ruhe lässt er sich jedoch bereits anfassen und zeigt, dass er gerne Vertrauen fassen möchte. Wir sind uns sicher, dass in einem liebevollen Zuhause noch viel mehr von seinem sanften Wesen zum Vorschein kommen wird. Bei Evan wurde das Calicivirus festgestellt. Er ist vermutlich dauerhaft ansteckend und kann deshalb nicht mit gesunden Katzen zusammenleben. Ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze oder gemeinsam mit einer ebenfalls Calici-positiven Katze wäre für ihn ideal. Außerdem steht Evan noch eine Zahnsanierung bevor, da der Verdacht auf FORL besteht und ihm voraussichtlich alle Zähne gezogen werden müssen. Katzen kommen damit in der Regel sehr gut zurecht und gewinnen dadurch oft deutlich an Lebensqualität. Für Evan suchen wir verständnisvolle Menschen, die einem älteren Kater mit Vergangenheit die Zeit geben, anzukommen und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wer ihm diese Chance schenkt, wird mit einem dankbaren und liebenswerten Begleiter belohnt, der endlich erfahren darf, wie sich ein behütetes Zuhause anfühlt.

About Evan

What life with Evan looks like

Evan is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

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 Evan, answered.

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