Ferdinand

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Ferdinand kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim. Unserem Ferdinand musste leider ein Bein amputiert werden. ... Näheres folgt. Je nach Tier und Größe kommen monatlich zwischen 30 und 120 Euro zusammen — dazu Näpfe, Körbchen, Leinen oder ein Kratzbaum. Impfungen, Wurmkuren und Prophylaxe sind planbar. Eine Operation oder eine Zahnbehandlung ist es nicht. Für Hunde kommen Hundesteuer und Haftpflichtversicherung dazu. Beides ist Pflicht, beides ist überschaubar — aber es sollte eingeplant sein. Schreib uns eine E-Mail an oder ruf uns an unter . Wir freuen uns, von dir zu hören.

About Ferdinand

What life with Ferdinand looks like

Ferdinand is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Wipperfürth in Wipperfürth.

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 Ferdinand, answered.

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