How do I contact the shelter about Gustav der Wilde?

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

Can I adopt Gustav der Wilde if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lüneburg 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 Gustav der Wilde already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs 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 Gustav der Wilde 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 Lüneburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gustav der Wilde 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.

Gustav der Wilde

Male · Young · 3 years

Gustav der Wilde is looking for a place in a shed or similar. Again and again, cats come to us that are not used to human contact and are looking for a new place where they can find food and a weatherproof shelter. It is important to know that these cats are not tame animals and therefore are not looking for a place on the couch. If you have a shed that is almost no longer used or maybe a farm with a barn, please contact us! You are also welcome to contact the Lüneburg Cat Shelter directly. It can be found on Facebook and Instagram, as well as on our homepage under Lüneburg Cat Shelter. Gustav der Wilde came to us as a found animal and is currently very shy. He quickly panics when he is near people and withdraws. When threatened, he reacts with defensive behavior. For Gustav der Wilde, we wish him a place at a supervised feeding station where he can live at his own pace, without having to meet expectations and yet be reliably provided for. We are always looking for sponsorships for our free-living cats. Many of the free-living cats are voluntarily supported at feeding stations, which we support with food donations. We are therefore grateful for any support! You can download the form here and bring it filled out: Consent Declaration

Gustav der Wilde sucht einen Platz in einem Schuppen oder ähnlichem. Immer wieder kommen Katzen zu uns, die den Umgang mit dem Menschen nicht gewohnt sind und einen neuen Platz suchen, an dem sie Futter und einen wetterfesten Unterschlupf finden. Wichtig ist zu wissen, dass es sich bei diesen Katzen um keine zahmen Tiere handelt und sie deshalb keinen Platz auf dem Sofa suchen. Wenn Sie vielleicht einen Schuppen haben, der fast nicht mehr genutzt wird oder vielleicht einen Hof mit Scheune haben, melden Sie sich gerne bei uns! Gerne können Sie auch direkt Kontakt zur Katzenhilfe Lüneburg aufnehmen. Diese ist auf Facebook und Instagram zu finden, sowie auf unserer Homepage unter Katzenhilfe Lüneburg. Gustav der Wilde ist als Fundtier zu uns gekommen und zeigt sich derzeit sehr scheu. In der Nähe von Menschen gerät er schnell in Panik und zieht sich zurück. Bei Bedrängung reagiert er mit Abwehrverhalten. Für Gustav der Wilde wünschen wir uns einen Platz an einer betreuten Futterstelle, an der er in seinem eigenen Tempo leben kann, ohne Erwartungen erfüllen zu müssen und dennoch zuverlässig versorgt wird. Für unsere freilebenden Katzen sind wir immer auf der Suche nachPatenschaften. Viele der freilebenden Katzen werden ehrenamtlich an Futterstellen weiterversorgt, die wir mit Futterspenden unterstützen. Wir freuen uns daher über jede Unterstützung!

About Gustav der Wilde

What life with Gustav der Wilde looks like

Gustav der Wilde is a young adult dog waiting at Tierheim Lüneburg in Lueneburg.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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.
