Henry

Mixed Breed · Male

Gender: male. neutered compatibility with others: gets along well with a nice second tomcat. Special notes: Henry came to us as a found animal. After a short adjustment period, he is a loving, well-socialized tomcat. Children are no problem for him as long as they give him some peace now and then. He wouldn't mind having a nice second tomcat.

Geschlecht: männlich. kastriert Verträglichkeit: zu einem netten Zweitkater oder zusammen mit Dexter Besonderheiten : Felines-Corona-Virus Träger Henry kam als Fundtier zu uns. Nach einer kurzen Eingewöhnungszeit ist er ein lieber, verschmuster Kater. Kinder sollten älter sein und ihm auch mal seine Ruhe gönnen können. Gegen einen netten Zweitkater hätte er nichts einzuwenden. Wenn er mit seinem Kumpel Dexter ausziehen dürfte, wäre das für ihn ein 6er im Lotto.

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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 und Tierschutz Recklinghausen 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 und Tierschutz Recklinghausen 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 und Tierschutz Recklinghausen 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.
