How do I contact the shelter about Gustav?

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

Can I adopt Gustav if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 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 Gustav 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 Julias Tierheim Ahaus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gustav 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.

Mixed Breed · Male

13 Samtpfote are looking for their big happiness: Loving cats are looking for a new home! We currently care for 13 absolutely enchanting cats that came to us through a seizure by the veterinary office. The furry friends lived in a house before and show their best side with us: they are all incredibly loving, people-oriented and extremely affectionate. Since they are used to living with their kind, all 13 cats are very socially compatible with each other. They love the company of other cats very much, which is why single-cat ownership is not an option for us. Therefore, we only mediate them as a second cat to an existing companion or, of course, together as a pair. For the sweet gang, we are looking for a suitable home in pure apartment living, ideally with a secured balcony, or in a quiet environment with later outdoor access. Would you like to meet our furry friends personally? Then please contact us to make an appointment! Note: If you click on one of the following links, you will be redirected to the corresponding page.

13 Samtpfoten auf der Suche nach dem großen Glück: Liebevolle Katzen suchen ein neues Zuhause! Aktuell betreuen wir u.a. 13 absolut zauberhafte Katzen, die durch eine Beschlagnahmung des Veterinäramtes zu uns kamen. Die Samtpfoten haben vorher im Haus gelebt und zeigen sich bei uns von ihrer besten Seite: Sie sind ausnahmslos unglaublich lieb, menschenbezogen und extrem verschmust. Da sie das Zusammenleben mit Artgenossen gewohnt sind, zeigen sich alle 13 Katzen untereinander bestens sozialverträglich. Sie lieben die Gesellschaft anderer Katzen sehr, weshalb eine Einzelhaltung für uns nicht in Frage kommt. Wir vermitteln sie daher ausschließlich als Zweitkatze zu einem bereits vorhandenen Artgenossen oder natürlich auch sehr gerne gemeinsam im Doppelpack. Für die süße Rasselbande suchen wir ein passendes Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung, idealerweise mit einem abgesicherten Balkon, oder in einer ruhigen Umgebung mit späterem Freigang. Möchten Sie unsere Samtpfoten persönlich kennenlernen? Dann setzen Sie sich gerne mit uns in Verbindung, um einen Termin zu vereinbaren!

About Gustav

What life with Gustav looks like

Gustav is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus in Germany.

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.
