How do I contact the shelter about Finley?

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

Can I adopt Finley if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Finley 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 Finley 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Finley 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Ask about this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Ask about this cat now! Finley means "blonde warrior". For us, his name means something else: a golden, radiant warrior. A winner - not in battle against others, but in the battle for a better life. Finley lived in a yard where several cats were fed by a man. When he was found, he was in poor condition. A deep wound on his cheek required urgent medical care. He was treated, cared for and allowed to heal. With each day, he became stronger and showed more of his gentle, calm nature. Then came the diagnosis: Finley is FIV positive. But that doesn't change who he is. Finley is an exceptionally calm and relaxed tomcat. He loves being near people without imposing himself. His calmness touches immediately. He gets along with other cats. He has not yet met dogs. Outdoor access is not possible for him. FIV is a viral disease that can weaken the immune system. Nevertheless, FIV positive cats can reach the same age as cats that test negative. The virus is only transferable to other cats, humans and other animals cannot get infected. Transmission is only possible through severe bite wounds. An FIV positive and an FIV negative cat can live together without problems, sharing bowls and cuddling spots, provided they are socially compatible. Moreover, spaying eliminates a possible transmission through sexual contact. Outdoor access is not possible due to the illness. For his travel arrangements, Finley is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and treated for fleas. After a positive. Whoever gives Finley a home gives a quiet fighter safety, warmth and dignity - and in return gets a calm, loyal companion with a big heart. A heartfelt thank you to godmother Maike J, who has accompanied Finley and made his way into a new life possible. Date: 03.03.

Für uns bedeutet sein Name jedoch etwas anderes: ein goldener, strahlender Krieger. Ein Gewinner – nicht im Kampf gegen andere, sondern im Kampf für ein besseres Leben. Finley lebte in einem Hof, in dem mehrere Katzen von einem Mann gefüttert wurden. Als er entdeckt wurde, war er in einem schlechten Zustand. Eine tiefe Wunde an seiner Wange benötigte dringend medizinische Versorgung. Er wurde behandelt, versorgt und durfte heilen. Mit jedem Tag wurde er kräftiger und zeigte mehr von seinem sanften, ruhigen Wesen. Dann kam die Diagnose: Finley ist FIV-positiv. Doch das ändert nichts daran, wer er ist. Finley ist ein außergewöhnlich ruhiger und entspannter Kater. Er liebt es, in der Nähe von Menschen zu sein, ohne sich aufzudrängen. Seine Gelassenheit berührt sofort. Mit anderen Katzen ist er verträglich. Hunde kennt er bisher nicht. Freigang kommt für ihn nicht in Frage. FIV ist eine Viruserkrankung, die das Immunsystem schwächen kann. Dennoch können FIV-positive Katzen ein ebenso hohes Alter erreichen wie negativ getestete Katzen. Das Virus ist ausschließlich auf andere Katzen übertragbar, Menschen und andere Tiere können sich nicht anstecken. Eine Übertragung ist nur bei schweren Bissverletzungen möglich. Eine FIV-positive und eine FIV-negative Katze können problemlos zusammenleben, Näpfe und Kuschelplätze teilen, sofern sie sozial verträglich sind. Durch die Kastration entfällt zudem eine mögliche Übertragung über den Geschlechtsakt. Freigang kommt aufgrund der Erkrankung nicht in Frage. Bei seiner Ausreise ist Finley kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 250 Euro kann er in sein neues Zuhause ziehen. Wer Finley ein Zuhause schenkt, schenkt einem stillen Kämpfer Sicherheit, Wärme und Würde – und bekommt im Gegenzug einen ruhigen, treuen Begleiter mit großem Herzen. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Pate Maike J, die Finley begleitet und seinen Weg in ein neues Leben möglich macht. Stand: 03.03.2026
