Fussel

Mixed Breed · Female

Fussel has had to cope with a major loss in her life. After the death of her owner, she suddenly had to adjust to a completely new situation. Luckily, she was allowed to move to a foster home she already knew from previous holiday stays. This is a big advantage for Fussel, because familiar people and a known environment can help her regain some security. Fussel is a very affectionate cat who enjoys the closeness of her person. With strangers, she can be quite skeptical at first and needs a moment to gain trust. Once she has someone in her heart, she shows her loving and affectionate side. However, Fussel also has health issues that her future people should know about. She suffers from IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. In this case, the gastrointestinal tract is permanently or recurrently inflamed, which can cause digestive problems, among other things. Stress also affects Fussel's stomach and can exacerbate her symptoms. She therefore needs regular cortisone injections. If the effect wears off, her IBD symptoms can return. Fortunately, her digestion works without problems with the right medication. She is also permanently dependent on a special sensitive food for the gastrointestinal tract. If a small mishap does happen, it's no disaster: Fussel can be easily cleaned by her trusted person. She is also familiar with regular grooming. Due to her fur, brushing is important to keep it clean and prevent it from becoming matted. Fussel is familiar with living with other cats and would certainly also be happy about friendly cat company in her new home. However, she can also be happy as a single cat if her people have enough time for her and give her a lot of attention and affection. We are looking for a loving, preferably stress-free home for Fussel with people who are willing to meet her special needs and reliably ensure her medical care. She doesn't need perfect circumstances, but people who accept her as she is - with her health issues, her initial caution and her great love for cuddling. Whoever gives Fussel a chance gets an affectionate and lovable cat who longs for security, security and a fixed place in her people's lives.

Fussel hat in ihrem Leben einen schweren Verlust verkraften müssen. Nach dem Tod ihrer Besitzerin musste sie sich plötzlich auf eine völlig neue Situation einstellen. Zum Glück durfte sie auf eine Pflegestelle ziehen, die sie bereits von früheren Urlaubsaufenthalten kannte. Das ist für Fussel ein großer Vorteil, denn vertraute Menschen und eine bekannte Umgebung können ihr helfen, wieder etwas Sicherheit zu gewinnen. Fussel ist eine sehr verschmuste Katze, die die Nähe ihrer Bezugsperson genießt. Bei fremden Menschen kann sie anfangs durchaus skeptisch sein und braucht einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat sie jemanden erst einmal in ihr Herz geschlossen, zeigt sie ihre liebevolle und anhängliche Seite. Fussel bringt allerdings auch gesundheitliche Besonderheiten mit, die ihre zukünftigen Menschen kennen sollten. Sie leidet an IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), einer chronischen entzündlichen Darmerkrankung. Dabei ist der Magen-Darm-Trakt dauerhaft oder wiederkehrend entzündet, was unter anderem Verdauungsbeschwerden verursachen kann. Stress schlägt Fussel zusätzlich auf den Magen und kann ihre Beschwerden verstärken. Sie benötigt deshalb regelmäßig Cortisonspritzen. Lässt die Wirkung nach, können ihre IBD-Symptome wieder auftreten. Mit der passenden Medikation funktioniert ihre Verdauung zum Glück problemlos. Außerdem ist sie dauerhaft auf ein spezielles Sensitivfutter für den Magen-Darm-Trakt angewiesen. Sollte doch einmal ein kleines Malheur passieren, ist das kein Weltuntergang: Bei ihrer vertrauten Bezugsperson lässt Fussel sich problemlos säubern. Auch die regelmäßige Fellpflege kennt sie bereits. Aufgrund ihres Fells ist Bürsten wichtig, damit es gepflegt bleibt und nicht verfilzt. Fussel kennt das Zusammenleben mit anderen Katzen und würde sich sicherlich auch in ihrem neuen Zuhause über freundliche Katzengesellschaft freuen. Sie kann aber ebenso als Einzelkatze glücklich werden, wenn ihre Menschen genügend Zeit für sie haben und ihr viel Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung schenken. Für Fussel suchen wir ein liebevolles, möglichst stressarmes Zuhause bei Menschen, die bereit sind, auf ihre besonderen Bedürfnisse einzugehen und ihre medizinische Versorgung zuverlässig sicherzustellen. Sie braucht keine perfekten Umstände, sondern Menschen, die sie so annehmen, wie sie ist – mit ihren gesundheitlichen Baustellen, ihrer anfänglichen Vorsicht und ihrer großen Liebe zum Kuscheln. Wer Fussel eine Chance gibt, bekommt eine anhängliche und liebenswerte Katze, die sich nach Sicherheit, Geborgenheit und einem festen Platz im Leben ihrer Menschen sehnt.

About Fussel

What life with Fussel looks like

Fussel is a small mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fussel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fussel?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fussel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fussel if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) whether they will for Fussel, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Fussel already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Fussel. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.), so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Fussel isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fussel 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.
