How do I contact the shelter about Haru?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. 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 — Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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 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 Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. 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.

Haru

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Haru was found in the cold winter in front of a café in Akrata – a place where he unfortunately was not welcome. To protect himself from the low temperatures, he hid between a wall and a refrigerator. On the same day, a weather warning for a strong storm was issued, so our animal rescuer Zoey did not hesitate to bring him to safety. Thanks to loving care, Haru is today a healthy, lively young tomcat. He is full of energy and playful, chasing balls and treats with enthusiasm and enjoys quiet cuddle moments as well. Loud noises like vacuum cleaners are still a bit unsettling for him, but he tolerates them well. Currently, Haru lives together with several friendly cats and dogs and shows himself to be social and well-tempered. We wish for him a loving and responsible home that is suitable for apartment living. A balcony should – just like the windows – be cat-proofed. available for a self-cost price of 180 Euro (including transport box) Look-animal welfare association Deutschland e.V.

Haru wurde im kalten Winter vor einem Café in Akrata gefunden – ein Ort, an dem er leider nicht willkommen war. Um sich vor den niedrigen Temperaturen zu schützen, versteckte er sich zwischen einer Wand und einem Kühlschrank. Am selben Tag wurde eine Wetterwarnung vor einem starken Sturm herausgegeben, sodass unsere Tierschützerin Zoey nicht zögerte und ihn in Sicherheit brachte. Dank liebevoller Pflege ist Haru heute ein gesunder, lebensfroher junger Kater. Er zeigt sich energiegeladen und verspielt, jagt begeistert Bällen und Leckerlis hinterher und genießt ebenso ruhige Kuschelmomente. Laute Geräusche wie Staubsauger sind ihm noch etwas unheimlich, werden von ihm jedoch gut toleriert. Aktuell lebt Haru mit mehreren freundlichen Katzen und Hunden zusammen und zeigt sich dabei sozial und gut verträglich. Für ihn wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles und verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung. Ein vorhandener Balkon sollte – ebenso wie die Fenster – unbedingt katzensicher vernetzt sein. möglich zum Selbstkostenpreis 180 Euro (inklusive Transportbox) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

About Haru

What life with Haru looks like

Haru is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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.
