How do I contact the shelter about Gus?

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

Can I adopt Gus if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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 Gus 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 Gus 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 Tecklenburger Land early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gus 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.

Gus

Male · Kitten · 3 months

Quintett is now ready for a new chapter...with strong nerves... Strong nerves? Well, you should like roller coasters:-) With us it's all up and down. That's for sure. We were born here at the shelter, our caregivers watched us grow and made sure we had everything we needed. And of course our mom Grisella. The best mom in the world. More love is not possible. She has done everything for us. And that's why she deserves a little rest now. So that she can get it, we are looking for a new home from now on. And that's where you come in. Do you have space to play and run around? Have you always wanted more "life in the house" and boredom is not your thing? Then you're exactly right with us and we at you... Out with the play mice, shredded tunnel laid out on the floor and scratching post set up. Ready? Good. So are we. Arrange a visit to us now. We can't wait to see where we will be running around tables and benches next... PS: We only move in as a pair or add to an existing cat. Alone is boring... Animal adoptions currently by appointment only. If you are interested in one of our animals, please contact us in advance by phone at 05481/4146 or by email.

About Gus

What life with Gus looks like

Gus is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
