Gismo

Mixed Breed · Male

Gismo is initially a bit reserved and needs some time to gain trust and get used to new people and his surroundings. For Gismo, we are looking for a quiet home with people who give him the time he needs to arrive and get to know him at his own pace. Anyone who wants to give a little cat a loving home and enjoys watching his development could find the perfect new roommate in Gismo.

DE·Show original

Gismo ist anfangs noch etwas zurückhaltend und braucht ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und sich an neue Menschen und seine Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Für Gismo wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm die nötige Zeit zum Ankommen geben und ihn in seinem eigenen Tempo kennenlernen möchten. Wer einem kleinen Kater ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchte und Freude daran hat, seine Entwicklung mitzuerleben, könnte in Gismo genau den richtigen neuen Mitbewohner finden.

About Gismo

What life with Gismo looks like

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

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 Gismo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gismo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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 Gismo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gismo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich 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 Gismo 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 Gismo 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 Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gismo 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.
