Hunter

Male

Geschlecht: männlich/Kastriert Besonderheit: FIV Positiv (Katzenaids) Hunter wurde auf der Strasse aufgefunden und zu uns ins Tierheim gebracht. Er braucht etwas länger, um sich an neue Situationen zu gewöhnen, taut dann aber bestimmt schnell auf. Nach der Kastration und einigen Untersuchung war klar: Auch Hunter ist, wie unser Katzenpärchen Raven und Quinn, FIV positiv.Was bedeutet FIV Positiv für Dich?Lass Dich bitte von dem Testergebnis nicht abschrecken. FIV (oft als Katzenaids betitelt) ist für Menschen und andere Tiere völlig ungefährlich und nicht übertragbar.Mit liebevoller Pflege, einer recht stressfreien Umgebung, hochwertigem Futter und regelmäsigen Tierarzt Check Ups können FIV positive Katzen ein genauso langes und beschwerdefreies Leben führen, wie andere Katzen auch.Wir könnten uns Hunter sowohl als Einzelkatze, als auch zu einer vorhandenen Katze/Kater mit FIV vorstellen. Außerdem zieht er nur in reine Wohnungshaltung, um sich vor Infektionen zu schützen und andere Artgenossen nicht anzustecken. Über einen gesicherten Balkon würde er sich zB freuen (ist aber kein Muß). Wer sich von dieser Diagnose nicht abschrecken läßt oder zu seiner vorhandenen FIV Positiv-getesteten Katze noch einen tollen Zweitkater sucht, darf Hunter gerne während unserer

About Hunter

What life with Hunter looks like

Hunter is an adult cat waiting at Tierheim Herford in Herford.

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 Hunter, answered.

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