Gladys & Lester

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Gladys and her approximately 3.5-month-old son Lester were originally taken in with good intentions. Unfortunately, they were unable to stay with their previous caregiver and are now looking for a new home together. Gladys is still a young cat and has since been spayed and microchipped. She is very shy and would prefer to hide somewhere where she can be as invisible as possible. People and new surroundings still unsettle her. Despite her uncertainty, she shows no aggression at all. Gladys needs people with patience, calmness, and understanding who give her the time to build trust and arrive at her own pace. Her son Lester is a particularly handsome little fellow. He is also initially shy, but seems to have picked up more confidence from the outside world than his mom. With the necessary patience, he will surely become more curious step by step and explore his new surroundings. We are looking for people who know that trust does not develop overnight and who enjoy accompanying the development of the two. Since both need the possibility of outdoor access, a home in a traffic-calmed environment with later outdoor access is being sought. Just write to us. As soon as we receive your message, we will contact you as soon as possible. Please understand that we can't always respond immediately. Please give us one to two days for a response.

Gladys und ihr etwa 3,5 Monate alter Sohn Lester wurden ursprünglich in guter Absicht aufgenommen. Leider konnten die beiden bei ihrer bisherigen Bezugsperson nicht bleiben und suchen nun gemeinsam ein neues Zuhause. Gladys ist noch eine junge Katze und wurde inzwischen kastriert und gechippt. Sie ist sehr schüchtern und würde sich am liebsten irgendwo verstecken, wo sie möglichst unsichtbar sein kann. Menschen und die neue Umgebung verunsichern sie noch sehr. Dabei zeigt sie sich trotz ihrer Unsicherheit überhaupt nicht aggressiv. Für Gladys braucht es Menschen mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis, die ihr die Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen und in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Ihr Sohn Lester ist ein ausgesprochen hübscher kleiner Kerl. Auch er ist zunächst schüchtern, scheint aber deutlich mehr Selbstbewusstsein von der Außenwelt mitbekommen zu haben als seine Mama. Mit der nötigen Geduld wird er sicherlich Schritt für Schritt neugieriger werden und seine neue Umgebung erkunden. Für beide wünschen wir uns Menschen, die wissen, dass Vertrauen nicht von heute auf morgen entsteht, und die Freude daran haben, die Entwicklung der beiden zu begleiten. Da beide die Möglichkeit von Freigang benötigen, wird ein Zuhause in verkehrsberuhigter Umgebung mit späterem Freigang gesucht.

About Gladys & Lester

What life with Gladys & Lester looks like

Gladys & Lester is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. in Germany.

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 Gladys & Lester, answered.

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