Adopt Henry

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Henry is an approximately 5-year-old tomcat looking for a suitable home as the only prince. He is a clingy tomcat who enjoys the company of his humans - but always on his own terms. Very cat-like, Henry clearly shows when he has had enough and then likes to retreat. Therefore, we are looking for a home with people who respect his signals and give him the space he needs. As a single tomcat, Henry wants his humans all to himself and no other cats in the household. Furthermore, he likes to be outdoors and should have the opportunity to go outside in a quiet environment in his new home. For Henry we are looking for experienced cat people who appreciate his character and can offer him a loving, understanding home. This cat needs outdoor access.

Henry ist ein etwa 5 Jahre alter Kater, der ein passendes Zuhause als Einzelprinz sucht. Er ist ein anhänglicher Kater, der die Nähe zu seinen Menschen genießt – allerdings ganz nach seinen eigenen Bedingungen. Ganz katzentypisch zeigt Henry deutlich, wann er genug hat und zieht sich dann gerne zurück. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die seine Signale respektieren und ihm den Freiraum geben, den er braucht. Als Einzelkater möchte Henry seine Menschen ganz für sich allein haben und keine anderen Katzen oder Hunde im Haushalt. Zudem ist er gerne draußen unterwegs und sollte in seinem neuen Zuhause die Möglichkeit zum Freigang in einer ruhigen Umgebung bekommen. Für Henry suchen wir katzenerfahrene Menschen, die seinen Charakter zu schätzen wissen und ihm ein liebevolles, verständnisvolles Zuhause bieten können.

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

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 Henry, answered.

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