About Herbie

What life with Herbie looks like

Herbie is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Bad Wildungen in Bad Wildungen.

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 โ€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting 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 โ‚ฌ250 and โ‚ฌ450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Herbie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Herbie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Bad Wildungen handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Herbie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Herbie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Tierschutzverein Bad Wildungen 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Herbie 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Herbie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Bad Wildungen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Herbie 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 โ€” 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.
