Grüße von Kater Filou

Mixed Breed · Male

From Filou's new family, we received this message with pictures: "Hello dear team from the animal shelter, I've already been with my new family for over a month, and their hearts I conquered in a storm, and they can't live without me anymore. Well, how could they resist me? After all, I'm charming, curious, spirited, playful, and cuddly, and bring joy to everyone. My favorite thing to do with my family is go on an exploration tour or observe the surroundings from the window. Birds have especially captured my attention. I've already met some of the shelter cats, but I'm still so inexperienced that I've so far ignored the hissing of the shelter cat, and for sure, I'll get a swipe from him if I'm allowed to explore the surroundings on my own. For now, though, I need to get fully healthy, as I caught a virus and spent several days at the vet's office. Warm regards from Filou and his family."

Von Filous neuer Familie erhielten wir diese Nachricht mit Bildern: „Hallo liebes Tierheimteam, schon über einen Monat wohne ich bei meiner neuen Familie, deren Herz ich im Sturm erobert habe und die mich nicht mehr missen möchten. Naja, wie könnten sie mir auch widerstehen? Schließlich bin ich liebenswürdig, neugierig, übermütig, verspielt und verschmust und bringe allen Freude. Am liebsten gehe ich mit meiner Familie auf Entdeckungstour oder beobachte vom Fenster aus die Umgebung. Vögel haben es mir dabei besonders angetan. Einige Katzen aus dem Revier habe ich schon kennengelernt, allerdings bin ich noch so unerfahren, dass ich bislang das Fauchen des Revierkaters ignoriere und dafür sicher demnächst einen Prankenhieb kassiere, wenn ich ganz allein die Umgebung erkunden darf. Erst einmal muss ich aber wieder ganz gesund werden, ich hatte mir nämlich einen Virus eingefangen und musste einige Tage in der Tierarztpraxis verbringen. Herzliche Grüße an alle von Filou und seiner Familie.“

About Grüße von Kater Filou

What life with Grüße von Kater Filou looks like

Grüße von Kater Filou is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Horka in Horka.

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 Grüße von Kater Filou, answered.

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