How do I contact the shelter about Grisu?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Grisu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Grisu if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn 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 Grisu 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 Grisu 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 Quellenhof Passbrunn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Grisu 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.

Adopt Grisu

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Grisu came into the animal shelter as a found animal at the end of August. He had been seen regularly by his finders in the spring and would often turn up at their place. However, he could not stay there. Sadly, no one has reported him missing so far. The large tomcat was initially very afraid of anything new. Now, he comes very close during feeding and will even sit when people enter the room. Unfortunately, it has turned out that Grisu has feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline AIDS (FIV). Therefore, he lives in a separate room with us. Additionally, he has developed diabetes. For Grisu, we wish for a quiet home with secure outdoor access. He should be given an individual place or a home where other cats live who also carry the pathogens. Children should already be older, as soon as anything is too fast or loud, Grisu immediately hides. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Grisu kam Ende August als Fundtier ins Tierheim. Er wurde bereits im Frühjahr immer wieder gesehen und tauchte regelmäßig bei seinen Findern auf. Er konnte jedoch dort nicht bleiben. Bisher hat ihn leider noch niemand vermisst. Der große Kater ist anfangs sehr ängstlich gegenüber allem, was neu ist. Mittlerweile kommt er beim Füttern ganz nah heran und bleibt auch sitzen, wenn Menschen den Raum betreten. Leider hat sich herausgestellt, dass Grisu Katzenleukose (FeLV) und Katzenaids (FIV) hat. Er bewohnt deshalb bei uns ein separates Zimmer. Zudem hat sich leider ein Diabetes entwickelt. Für Grisu wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause mit gesichertem Freigang. Er sollte einen Einzelplatz bekommen oder ein Zuhause, wo bereits Katzen leben, die ebenfalls die Erreger in sich tragen. Kinder sollten schon größer sein, denn sobald etwas zu schnell und zu laut ist, versteckt sich Grisu sofort.
