Adopt Garfield

Mixed Breed · Male

Garfield was given to us by a loving family who, due to a pet hair allergy and moving to another state, could no longer ensure his care. Keeping him became unfortunately no longer possible. Therefore, the family, with a heavy heart, decided to entrust him to our shelter. Garfield is a charming, scarred May tomcat. He is used to apartment living, so he is not an outdoor cat and tends to be more of a loner. He is not enthusiastic about children and does not want to be constantly picked up. Garfield is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Contact person: Annegret Drell 0511 - 51 79 167 This pretty red one named Garfield has come to us. Now, Garfield needs some time to settle down.

Garfield wurde uns von einer lieben Familie übergeben, die aufgrund von Tierhaarallergie und Umzug in ein anderes Bundesland die Versorgung leider nicht mehr gewährleisten konnte. Ihn weiter zu behalten, war leider nicht mehr möglich. Somit hat sich die Familie schweren Herzens dazu entschieden, ihn in unsere Obhut zu übergeben. Garfield ist ein liebenswürdiger verschmuster Mai-Kater. Er ist nur die Wohnungshaltung gewohnt, also kein Freigänger und eher auch ein Einzelgänger. Von Kindern ist er nicht begeistert und ständig auf den Arm möchte er auch nicht genommen werden. Garfield ist kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Ansprechpartnerin: Annegret Drell 0511 - 51 79 167 Dieser hübsche Rote namens Garfield ist zu uns gekommen. Nun muss Garfield erst einmal zur Ruhe kommen.

About Garfield

What life with Garfield looks like

Garfield is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Hannover e.V. in Hannover.

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 Garfield, answered.

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