Horst

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Horst came back to us after almost three years because the veterinary costs could no longer be afforded. Horst arrived in a very poor condition. It is likely that he fell into motor oil or something similar. Due to a chemical reaction, Horst almost lost all of his fur and had to spend a few days in the animal clinic as he was feeling very bad. Now, Horst is much better and his fur is slowly growing back. Horst is super cuddly and loves to climb around and be present. He is very food-oriented and does not share his food willingly. The agile tomcat is very clingy and loudly complains if he is not allowed to be present or if his food is not served on time. Currently, he still has a sensitive stomach and is on special food and probiotics to support his digestion. In his new home, Horst wants to become an outdoor cat again.

Horst kam nach fast drei Jahren zu uns zurück, weil die Tierarztkosten nicht mehr gestemmt werden konnten. Horst kam in einem sehr schlechten Zustand zu uns. Vermutlich ist er in Motoröl oder etwas ähnliches gefallen. Durch eine chemische Reaktion hat Horst fast sein ganzes Fell verloren und musste ein paar Tage stationär in der Tierklinik verbringen, weil es ihm sehr schlecht ging. Inzwischen geht es Horst viel besser und auch sein Fell wächst langsam wieder nach. Horst ist super verschmust und liebt es auf einem herum zu klettern und dabei zu sein. Er ist total verfressen und teilt sein Futter nicht so gerne. Der agile Kater ist sehr anhänglich und beschwert sich lautstark, wenn er mal nicht dabei sein darf oder sein Essen nicht pünktlich serviert wird. Aktuell hat er noch einen recht sensiblen Magen und bekommt Schonkost und Probiotika, um seinen Magen zu unterstützen. Im neuen Zuhause möchte Horst wieder Freigänger werden.

About Horst

What life with Horst looks like

Horst is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr in Germany.

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 Horst, answered.

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