Hermann

Mixed Breed · Male

Hermann the cat is initially very uncertain and needs some time to get used to new people and an unfamiliar environment. However, behind his cautious nature is a little guy who just needs to settle down first. While Hermann is still reserved around people, he actively seeks the company of the other cats. Their companionship gives him security and shows how important contact with his fellow cats is to him. Once Hermann has found his own home and can feel safe, he will hopefully gradually thaw and also build trust with his humans. For this, he needs a loving environment, patience, and people who do not pressure him, but give him the time he needs. We wish Hermann a quiet home with understanding people and at least one friendly cat partner who will keep him company. Whoever gives Hermann this chance will give him the opportunity to arrive at his own pace and gradually gain trust. Hermann does not have to be brave right away - he just needs people who show him that he has finally arrived.

DE·Show original

Kater Hermann ist anfangs noch sehr unsicher und braucht etwas Zeit, um sich an neue Menschen und eine ungewohnte Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Doch hinter seiner vorsichtigen Art steckt ein kleiner Kerl, der einfach erst einmal in Ruhe ankommen muss. Während Hermann Menschen gegenüber noch zurückhaltend ist, sucht er aktiv die Nähe zu den anderen Katzen. Ihre Gesellschaft gibt ihm Sicherheit und zeigt, wie wichtig ihm der Kontakt zu seinen Artgenossen ist. Wenn Hermann erst einmal ein eigenes Zuhause gefunden hat und sich sicher fühlen kann, wird er hoffentlich nach und nach auftauen und auch zu seinen Menschen Vertrauen aufbauen. Dafür braucht er ein liebevolles Umfeld, Geduld und Menschen, die ihn nicht bedrängen, sondern ihm die Zeit lassen, die er benötigt. Für Hermann wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei einfühlsamen Menschen und mit mindestens einem freundlichen Katzenpartner, der ihm Gesellschaft leistet. Wer Hermann diese Chance schenkt, gibt ihm die Möglichkeit, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen zu fassen. Hermann muss nicht sofort mutig sein – er braucht nur Menschen, die ihm zeigen, dass er endlich angekommen ist.

About Hermann

What life with Hermann looks like

Hermann is a small 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hermann, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hermann?: 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 Hermann on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hermann 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Hermann 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 Hermann 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 Hermann 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.
