Hook

Male · Young · 1 year

September 2026: Inzwischen hat sich bei Kater Hook einiges getan. Sein zuckender Rücken und seine ungewöhnlichen Schmerzreaktionen werden nun medikamentös behandelt. Es ist keine konkrete Ursache seiner Probleme festzustellen, aber insbesondere das Zucken im Bereich der Lendenwirbelsäule hat seit der Behandlung deutlich abgenommen. Sein Schwanz peitscht jedoch weiterhin katzenuntypisch auch, wenn er eigentlich nicht allzu angespannt ist. Aufgrund der kurzen Wirkdauer des Medikaments muss Hook aktuell dreimal täglich sein Tablette bekommen – morgens, nachmittags und am späten Abend. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass Hook ein sehr genügsamer Patient ist und seine Tabletten versteckt im Leckerchen quasi inhaliert – man muss manchmal auf seine Finger aufpassen. Uns ist bewusst, dass eine

About Hook

What life with Hook looks like

Hook is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

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 Hook, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hook?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Bonn handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hook on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hook if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Bonn 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 Hook 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 Hook 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 Bonn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hook 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.
