How do I contact the shelter about Gary?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Tecklenburger Land handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gary on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gary if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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 Gary 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 Gary 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 Tecklenburger Land early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gary 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.

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Quintett is expanding its sphere of influence...with nerves of steel... Nerves of steel? Well, you’d better enjoy roller-coaster rides :-) With us, things really get wild—and that’s for sure. We were born here at the animal shelter; the caregivers watched us grow up and made sure we never lacked for anything. And of course, there’s our mom Grisella—the best mom in the world. You couldn’t ask for more love than that. She did absolutely everything for us. And that’s precisely why she now deserves a little peace and quiet. To give her that peace, we’re looking for a new home for her starting immediately—and that’s where you come in. Do you have plenty of space for us to romp and play? Have you always wanted more “life in the home” and boredom is simply not your thing? Then you’ve come to the right place—and we’ve come to you! Let’s get those play mice out, set up some crinkly tunnels on the bio-dens, and put up a scratching post. All ready? Great! So are we. Why not schedule an appointment for a visit with us right away? We’re already super excited about where we’ll be zooming around tables and benches next... PS: We’ll only move in as a pair—or to join an existing cat. Going it alone just isn’t fun... Animal adoptions are currently by appointment only. If you’re interested in one of our animals, please contact us in advance by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email. Learn more

About Gary

What life with Gary looks like

Gary is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
