Houdini

Mixed Breed · Male

I am Houdini, a two-year-old cat, and I am currently looking for my forever home. I came to the shelter as a stray and hope to find my people soon. I may be a bit shy at first when we meet, but give me some time and I'll warm up and show you what a sweetheart I am. I love being petted and enjoy my cuddles very much. I get along well with other cats, so they're no problem for me. I'm also a chatty cat and love to tell my humans stories. It won't be boring with me! I really want outdoor access for my new home so I can explore my surroundings and be my curious cat self. After an adjustment period, I'd love to go on adventures again. If you're looking for a cuddly, social cat who may be a bit cautious at first and you're willing to give me time to settle in, we could be a great match. Name: Houdini Number: K 475-26 Gender: Male Born: approximately October 1, 2024 In shelter since: - Neutered: Yes Outdoor access: Yes Single housing: Not required

DE·Show original

Ich bin der etwa zweijährige Houdini und momentan noch auf der Suche nach meinem ganz eigenen Zuhause. Ich kam als Fundkater ins Tierheim und hoffe nun sehr, dass ich bald meine Menschen finde, bei denen ich für immer bleiben darf. Wenn wir uns kennenlernen, bin ich im ersten Moment vielleicht noch ein bisschen schüchtern. Gibst du mir aber etwas Zeit, taue ich schnell auf und zeige dir, was für ein lieber Kerl in mir steckt. Besonders gerne lasse ich mich streicheln und genieße meine Kuscheleinheiten sehr. Mit anderen Katzen komme ich gut zurecht – Artgenossen sind für mich also überhaupt kein Problem. Außerdem bin ich ein ziemlich gesprächiger Kater und habe meinen Menschen gerne etwas zu erzählen. Bei mir wird es also bestimmt nicht langweilig! Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir unbedingt Freigang, damit ich meine Umgebung erkunden und meinen neugierigen Katerkopf ausleben kann. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit möchte ich also gerne wieder auf Entdeckungstour gehen. Wenn du einen verschmusten, geselligen und manchmal anfangs etwas vorsichtigen Kater suchst und mir die Zeit gibst, in Ruhe anzukommen, könnten wir richtig gut zusammenpassen.

About Houdini

What life with Houdini looks like

Houdini is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. in Wunstorf.

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 Houdini, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Houdini?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 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 Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 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 Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. 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.
