How do I contact the shelter about Homer?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelenkatzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Homer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Homer if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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 Homer 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 Homer 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Homer 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.

Homer

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Homer is a 2012-born male neutered cat with a social and people-oriented calm personality. He is currently living in an apartment with other cats in Barlad, Romania. Homer is looking for a loving home as his owners are unable to care for him and the other animals due to their age and health issues. Homer would appreciate a quiet feline companion of similar age and a safe window or balcony spot. As he has been indoor-only all his life, he may not be familiar with outdoor dangers. If you have no other cat at home, please contact my caregiver to inquire about potential roommates for Homer. He is already neutered, vaccinated (distemper, rhinotracheitis and rabies), microchipped, treated with spot-on and dewormed, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Barlad, Rumänien Alter: geb. 2012 Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Charakter: sozial, menschenbezogen, ruhig Besonderheit: keins Keine Einzelhaltung! Hallo ihr lieben Katzenfreunde! Ich bin der Kater Homer und bin auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause. Zur Zeit lebe ich in einer Wohnung gemeinsam mit anderen Katzen. Ich bin sozial und mag auch Menschen gern. Leider können wir alle nicht hierbleiben. Unsere Besitzerin ist 84 Jahre alt und wurde vor kurzem von einem Auto angefahren. Seitdem versucht sie wieder auf die Beine zu kommen, aber die Versorgung so vieler Tiere schafft sie einfach nicht mehr. Schweren Herzens und gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester hat sie nun die Entscheidung getroffen, für uns alle ein schönes, neues Zuhause zu suchen. Ich wünsche mir in meinem neuen Zuhause einen ruhigen Katzenfreund, der ein ähnliches Alter hat wie ich. Außerdem würde ich mich über einen schönen Fensterplatz oder sicheren Balkon freuen. Da wir all die Jahre Wohnungshaltung gewohnt sind und deshalb die Gefahren auf der Straße nicht gut kennen, wäre das für uns am sichersten. Wenn bei dir noch keine weitere passende Katze wohnt, dann schreib meine Vermittlerin an und frag, mit wem ich gemeinsam zu dir ziehen kann. Ich bin bereits kastriert und habe die ersten Impfungen erhalten (Katzenseuche, Katzenschnupfen und Tollwut) und bin gechipt. Außerdem habe ich noch Spot on und Wurmkur bekommen. Auf FIV und FeLV wurde ich per Schnelltest negativ getestet. Das alles kannst du in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Bis hoffentlich bald, dein Homer

About Homer

What life with Homer looks like

Homer is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
