How do I contact the shelter about Garfield?

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 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 — 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 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 Ein Herz für Streuner 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Garfield has found his people! His story: This beautiful orange-tabby tomcat named Garfield is searching for his family, which can provide him with a beautiful home and lots of snuggles. The 2-year-old tomcat requires a lot of attention and is, therefore, very clingy. Additionally, he likes to explore every corner of his home. Although Garfield is very people-oriented, he generally prefers a quiet environment and isn't particularly playful. Nothing is known about Garfield's history. He suddenly found himself on the balcony of one of our foster homes and simply sat there. He was immediately taken in and cared for. After being fully checked, he is now ready for a new adventure. Garfield is a very uncomplicated tomcat. He can be kept as a single cat, but he also gets along well with his fellow animals. He is also familiar with dogs and gets along well with them. However, Garfield can only be rehomed as an indoor-only cat. He will undoubtedly be happy with a cat-safe netted balcony where he can bask in the sun.

Seine Geschichte: Dieser wunderschöne rot-getigerte Kater namens Garfield sucht seine Familie, die ihm sowohl ein schönes Zuhause als auch viele Kuscheleinheiten bieten kann. Denn der 2-jährige Kater benötigt viel Aufmerksamkeit und ist dementsprechend anhänglich. Außerdem erkundet er gerne jede Ecke seines Zuhauses.

Er saß plötzlich auf dem Balkon einer unserer Pflegestellen und ist dort einfach sitzen geblieben. Kurzerhand wurde er aufgenommen und versorgt. Nachdem er komplett durchgecheckt wurde, ist er nun bereit für ein neues Abenteuer. Garfield ist ein sehr unkomplizierter Kater. Er kann sowohl als Einzelkatze gehalten werden, versteht sich aber auch sehr gut mit seinen Artgenossen. Auch Hunde kennt er bereits und kommt gut mit diesen klar. Allerdings kann Garfield nur als reine Wohnungskatze vermittelt werden. Über einen vernetzten Balkon, auf dem er sich die Sonne auf den Bauch scheinen lassen kann, freut er sich bestimmt dennoch. Dies ist aber keine Voraussetzung für die

About Garfield

What life with Garfield looks like

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.
