Adopt Gustav

Mixed Breed · Male

Hey, I'm Gustav! A handsome young tomcat who loves being stroked and brushed. I came in as a surrender animal to our shelter and had to be treated for my bladder crystals in the first few days. Things are much better for me now, but I do need to make sure I urinate regularly. That's why I also need special "Urinary" food to prevent new crystal formation. Character-wise, I'm truly a dream cat, so come and visit me and get to know me. Unfortunately, it couldn't be tested at the animal shelter whether I get along with other cats. Maybe I'll find my home as a lone prince. Name Gustav Number K 134-26 Gender Male Born around 01.05.

Hey, ich bin der Gustav! Ein stattlicher junger Kater, der es liebt gestreichelt und gebürstet zu werden. Ich kam als Abgabetier ins Tierheim und musste in den ersten Tagen erst einmal gegen meine Harnkristalle behandelt werden. Mittlerweile geht es mir viel besser, doch man muss auf jeden Fall darauf achten, dass ich regelmäßig Urin absetze. Deshalb benötige ich auch ein spezielles „Urinary“ Futter. Das verhindert die Bildung von neuen Harnkristallen. Charakterlich bin ich wirklich ein Traumkater, also komm mich am besten einfach besuchen und lern mich kennen. Ob ich mit anderen Katzen klar komme, konnte im Tierheim leider nicht getestet werden. Vielleicht finde ich ja auch als Einzelprinz mein Zuhause. Name Gustav Nummer K 134-26 Geschlecht Männlich Geboren ca. 01.05.22 Im Tierheim seit Kastriert Ja Freilauf Ja Einzelhaltung nicht erforderlich

About Gustav

What life with Gustav looks like

Gustav is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. in Wunstorf.

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 Gustav, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gustav?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. 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 Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. 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.
