Gino

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Gino kam unter dramatischen Umständen zu uns. Der noch nicht einmal einjährige, unkastrierte Kater war gesundheitlich so schwer angeschlagen, dass er kaum noch stehen konnte. Seine damaligen Besitzer konnten seine notwendige medizinische Versorgung finanziell nicht leisten. Wir haben um Gino gekämpft – und der kleine Mann offenbar beschlossen, dass er das Leben jetzt dafür umso ausgiebiger genießen möchte. Heute sehen wir Gino bei uns als unglaublich temperamentvollen, anhänglichen und lebensfrohen jungen Kater, der am liebsten überall gleichzeitig wäre. Gino liebt Menschen, möchte beschäftigt werden und hat jede Menge Energie nachzuholen. Ihm - Katzen liebt er überhaupt nicht, daher mussten wir den Knallkopf in Einzelhaft stecken, ansonsten hätten wir nur Katzen an der Decke kleben... Seine gesundheitliche Entwicklung wird weiterhin begleitet. Bleibt Gino weiterhin rückfallfrei, gilt er voraussichtlich etwa im Juni als ausgeheilt. Für ihn wünschen wir uns eine aktive Familie, sehr gerne auch mit Kindern, in der ordentlich etwas los sein darf. Nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung soll Gino unbedingt Freigang bekommen. Nach allem, was dieser junge Kater erlebt hat, hat er nun vor allem eines verdient: ein Zuhause, in dem sein neues Leben richtig beginnen kann. Und wer Gino kennenlernt, dürfte ohnehin ziemlich schnell verloren haben – dieser Kater ist einfach zum Verlieben. Bitte beachten: Aufgrund seiner Rasse BKH erhöht sich die reguläre Schutzgebühr um 50 Euro. Bei Interesse meldet euch bitte mit Infos (Wohnort, Hundeerfahrung, andere Haustiere usw.) und einer Telefonnummer per Mail:

About Gino

What life with Gino looks like

Gino is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Helenenhof-Hürth/Tierschutzverein in Hürth.

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 Gino, answered.

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