Henry

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello, my name is Henry! They also call me Lucky Luke because my claws are faster in your arms than you can say "Ouch!" But honestly... do you really think those eyes could lie? I've lived on the streets until someone brought me to the animal shelter. There I spread my charm, very carefully... until I got to know people better. And then? Too much petting is just not my thing. I'll tell you when it's enough - clearly and loudly. The people who visited me so far? Nice, but not Henry-worthy. I am a complete package: funny, playful, affectionate, grumpy - a cat for advanced cat lovers. I need nature, freedom and maybe a sweet female cat. Or someone who says: "Henry, you're just right the way you are." Best regards, your Henry

Hallo, mein Name ist Henry! Man nennt mich auch Lucky Luke, weil meine Krallen schneller in deinen Armen sind als du „Huch!“ sagen kannst. Aber mal ehrlich… glaubt ihr wirklich, dass diese Augen lügen könnten? Ich habe auf der Straße gelebt, bis mich jemand ins Tierheim brachte. Dort hab ich erstmal meinen Charme versprüht, ganz vorsichtig… bis ich die Leute besser kannte. Und dann? Zu viel Streicheln ist einfach nicht mein Ding. Ich sag’s, wenn’s reicht — klar und deutlich. Die Menschen, die mich bisher besucht haben? Nett, aber nicht Henry‑tauglich. Ich bin nämlich ein Gesamtpaket: lustig, verspielt, verschmust, kratzbürstig — ein Kater für Fortgeschrittene eben. Ich brauche wieder Natur, Freiheit und vielleicht eine süße Katzendame. Oder jemanden, der sagt: „Henry, du bist genau richtig so wie du bist.“ Liebe Grüße, euer Henry

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Henry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Henry?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 — Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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.
