Adopt Goofy

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Goofy came to us at the animal shelter as a stray from a feeding station. He and several other cats were provided with food there but hadn't yet had much close contact with people. Therefore, Goofy is still quite fearful and shy. However, he is very curious and will surely soon be lured with food. We are looking for a new home for Goofy with outdoor access and a friendly, similarly aged feline companion. Goofy needs an extended acclimatization period and cannot yet be touched. Health care: Which vaccinations are necessary, and what can I do to give my cat a long and healthy life? In this video, you’ll get an initial overview. Nutrition tips: Watch this video if you’d like to learn more about proper feline nutrition. The video is intended only to summarize the most important information. Of course, we’re available to provide you with further details.

Goofy ist als Findling von einer Futterstelle zu uns ins Tierheim gekommen. Er und noch andere Katzen wurden dort mit Futter versorgt, hatten aber noch nicht soviel engen Kontakt mit den Menschen. Daher ist Goofy noch recht ängstlich und scheu. Aber er ist sehr neugierig und lässt sich bestimmt auch bald mit Futter locken. Für Goofy suchen wir ein neues Zuhuase mit Freigang bei einem sozialen, gleichaltrigen Partnertier. Goofy braucht eine längere Eingewöhnungszeit und lässt sich noch nicht anfassen. Gesundheitsvorsorge: Welche Impfungen sind notwendig und was kann ich tun, um meiner Katze ein langes und gesundes Leben zu ermöglichen? In diesem Video erhalten Sie einen ersten Überblick. Ernährungstipps: Schauen Sie sich dieses Video an, wenn Sie mehr über die richtige Ernährung Ihrer Katzen erfahren möchten. Das Video soll lediglich die wichtigsten Informationen zusammenfassen. Wir stehen Ihnen natürlich für weitere Informationen zur Verfügung. Infos zur

About Goofy

What life with Goofy looks like

Goofy is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

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 Goofy, answered.

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