Houdini

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Der hübsche Mischlingskater Houdini kam gemeinsam mit vielen anderen Katzen zu uns ins Tierheim und zeigt sich von der neuen, trubeligen Situation aktuell noch etwas beeindruckt. Hinter seiner anfänglichen Schüchternheit steckt jedoch ein absolut lieber und gutmütiger Kater. In einer ruhigen, entspannten Umgebung wird er sicherlich schnell wieder komplett auftauen und sein treues Herz verschenken. Da Houdini das Leben in einer großen Gruppe gewohnt und außergewöhnlich gut sozialverträglich ist, wird er nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt. Er soll das Tierheim als Zweitkater verlassen, um im neuen Zuhause direkt wieder kätzische Gesellschaft zum Kuscheln und Orientieren zu haben. Bisher kennt der sanfte Kater ausschließlich die reine Wohnungshaltung. Wenn Sie Houdini die nötige Zeit zum Ankommen schenken möchten, freuen wir uns sehr auf Ihre Anfrage.

About Houdini

What life with Houdini looks like

Houdini is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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. 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. Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 — Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
