Adopt Haru

European Shorthair · Unknown

Haru is a real sensitive soul. His new humans should develop a good eye for him and learn to read him well. When Haru feels overwhelmed or pressured, he shows it quickly. He should always have the option to retreat. Haru has kidney problems, he needs special food and is currently being treated with medication. For Haru, we wish for a loving home suitable for apartment living; a secure garden or balcony would be great. His new people should have plenty of time for him. If you are interested, we look forward to a detailed email with your phone number included.

Er sollte jederzeit die Möglichkeit haben sich zurückziehen zu können. Haru hat Nierenprobleme, er braucht Spezialfutter und wird derzeit medikamentös behandelt. Für Haru wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, ein gesicherter Garten oder Balkon wäre toll. Seine neuen Menschen sollten viel Zeit für ihn haben.

About Haru

What life with Haru looks like

Haru is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Troisdorf 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Haru, answered.

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