How do I contact the shelter about Houdini?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung 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 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 Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Houdini and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Adopt Houdini

Mixed Breed · Male

Our Houdini is a beautiful long-haired cat who came to us as a found animal. His fur currently still looks a bit messy and uneven, probably because he was shaved in the past. With a bit of time and good care, however, he will once again have a magnificent cat mane. Houdini is a true people-person: cuddly, friendly, and clingy, he enjoys every cuddle and seeks out the company of his trusted people. He knows exactly how to win hearts and brings a charming smile to everyone he meets. With other cats, Houdini doesn't necessarily need to share his luck – we see him more as a singleton who wants to enjoy full attention from his human companions. For his new home, we envision either a large apartment with a secure balcony or a home with a secure outdoor area. Most importantly, Houdini wants plenty of attention, affection, and cozy spots to call his own. Houdini wishes for:

Unser Houdini hat Interessenten. Er ist ein Langhaarkater, der als Fundtier zu uns gekommen ist. Sein Fell sieht aktuell noch etwas zerzaust und ungleichmäßig aus, vermutlich wurde er in der Vergangenheit geschoren. Mit etwas Zeit und guter Pflege wird daraus aber wieder eine prächtige Katzenmähne. Houdini ist ein echter Menschenfreund: verschmust, zutraulich und anhänglich genießt er jede Streicheleinheit und sucht gerne die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen. Er weiß genau, wie man Herzen erobert, und bringt mit seiner charmanten Art jeden zum Schmunzeln. Mit anderen Katzen braucht Houdini sein Glück nicht unbedingt teilen – wir sehen ihn eher als Einzelkater, der die volle Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen genießen möchte. Für sein neues Zuhause können wir uns sowohl eine große Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon als auch ein Zuhause mit Freigang in sicherer Umgebung vorstellen. Wichtig ist vor allem, dass Houdini genügend Aufmerksamkeit, Zuwendung und gemütliche Lieblingsplätze bekommt. Houdini wünscht sich: Ein liebevolles Zuhause als Einzelkater Viele Streicheleinheiten und Aufmerksamkeit Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon oder Freigang Menschen, die Freude an einem verschmusten Langhaarkater haben

About Houdini

What life with Houdini looks like

Houdini is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. 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.
