Houdini

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

Houdini – unser charmanter Fundkater mit Biss sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause Houdini kam als Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim . Er ist äußerst aufgeschlossen, neugierig und liebt es gestreichelt zu werden. Mit seinem Charme verzaubert er jeden Besucher sofort. Allerdings sollte man wissen: Wenn ihm etwas zu viel wird, zeigt Houdini das deutlich und kann dann auch schon mal zubeißen. Aus diesem Grund wäre ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder für ihn am besten geeignet. Besonders wichtig ist, dass Houdini unbedingt Freigang bekommen kann nach der Eingewöhnungszeit. Wenn Sie Houdini ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause mit Freigang bieten können, freuen wir uns sehr auf Ihre Kontaktaufnahme. Houdini wartet sehnsüchtig darauf, sein neues Glück bei Ihnen zu finden!

About Houdini

What life with Houdini looks like

Houdini is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Gardelegen in Gardelegen.

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 Houdini, answered.

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