Hannes

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

The young tomcat found his way to us as a stray. Due to noticeably bald patches on his skin, further examinations were conducted. These revealed that he is highly allergic to fleas and pollen. Therefore, we are looking for a home for him where he will be kept exclusively indoors. When interacting with other cats, he still seems somewhat uncertain around them, but he is by no means incompatible. With a very sociable companion cat, along with sufficient time and patience, there is definitely a good chance that he can make up for any missed socialization experiences and gain more confidence in interacting with other cats. Children should not be a problem for him. Because of his breed and the associated risk of OCD (osteochondrodysplasia), he has undergone an X-ray examination. So far, no abnormalities have been detected. Nevertheless, depending on his development and needs, follow-up X-rays should continue to be performed as necessary. Hannes is a remarkably people-oriented tomcat who thoroughly enjoys being petted and actively seeks out these affectionate moments. With his open and loving nature, he quickly wins the hearts of his human companions 🥰

DE·Show original

Der junge Kater fand seinen Weg als Fundkatze zu uns. Aufgrund auffällig kahler Hautstellen wurden weitere Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Dabei stellte sich heraus, dass er hochgradig allergisch auf Flöhe und Pollen reagiert. Daher suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung. Im Umgang mit Artgenossen zeigt er sich bei uns noch etwas unsicher, ist jedoch keineswegs unverträglich. Mit einem sehr sozialen Artgenossen sowie der nötigen Zeit und Geduld besteht durchaus die Chance, dass er versäumtes Sozialverhalten nachholen und mehr Sicherheit im Umgang mit anderen Katzen gewinnen kann. Kinder sollten für ihn kein Problem sein. Aufgrund seiner Rasse und des damit verbundenen Risikos für OCD (Osteochondrodysplasie) wurde er geröntgt. Bisher zeigen sich keine Auffälligkeiten. Dennoch sollten, je nach Entwicklung und Bedarf, auch zukünftig entsprechende Kontrollröntgen durchgeführt werden. Hannes ist ein ausgesprochen menschenbezogener Kater, der Streicheleinheiten in vollen Zügen genießt und diese auch aktiv einfordert. Mit seiner offenen und liebevollen Art erobert er die Herzen seiner Menschen im Handumdrehen 🥰

About Hannes

What life with Hannes looks like

Hannes is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Neuwied in Neuwied.

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 Hannes, answered.

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