Adopt Gremmy

Male

Specials: Apartment, secure balcony. Hello, it’s me, the little Gremmy. Well, I’m not really that little anymore, I’ve been here for quite some time. My start was quite bumpy, as I was found to be quite sick and had to undergo long-term treatment for a fungus. Now, I’d like to start fresh. Despite the long isolation, I haven’t let my mood get ruined and am a cheeky and playful young tomcat. Of course, I also appreciate the snuggle and play unit with you, but a feline buddy is much more to my liking. You should already know a bit about us cats, because even at our first meeting, it can be a bit rough for us fur-bearing creatures. And by the way, my fur requires a lot of care; otherwise, I could turn into a felt ball in a flash.

Besonderheiten: Wohnung, gesicherter Balkon.. Huhu, ich bin’s, der kleine Gremmy. Wobei, so klein bin ich ja gar nicht mehr, bin ja schon so lange hier. Mein Start war sehr holprig, denn ich wurde ziemlich krank aufgefunden und habe eine lange Behandlungen gegen den Pilz hinter mir. Jetzt möchte ich gerne durchstarten. Trotz der langen Isolation habe ich mir meine Laune nicht verderben lassen und bin ein frecher und verspielter junger Kater. Natürlich schätze ich auch die schmuse- und Spieleinheit mit dir allerdings ist mir ein Katerkumpel viel lieber. Du solltest dich schon ein wenig mit uns Katzen auskennen, denn gerade beim ersten Kennenlernen kann es schon einmal etwas ruppiger bei uns Fellträgern zugehen. Wo wir gerade über Fell schreiben, mein Fell benötigt sehr viel Pflege ansonsten mutiere ich, Ruck zuck zu einer Filzkugel.

About Gremmy

What life with Gremmy looks like

Gremmy is a small adult cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Gremmy, answered.

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