James

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

James was born on April 22, 2017. He is unfortunately FIV positive and has a mild eye clouding. Otherwise, he is in good health. James is a quiet, loving, and incredibly skinny tomcat who greatly enjoys the company of his people. He needs a stable, stress-free environment as a single prince, with people who have a lot of time. A secured balcony would be desirable.

James ist am 22.04.2017 geboren. Er ist leider FIV positiv und hat eine leichte Augentrübung. Ansonsten ist er gesundheitlich aber gut drauf. James ist ein ruhiger, lieber und unglaublich verschmuster Kater, der die Nähe zu seinen Menschen sehr genießt. Er braucht ein stabiles, stressarmes Umfeld als Einzelprinz, bei Leuten mit viel Zeit. Ein gesicherter Balkon ist wünschenswert.

About James

What life with James looks like

James is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenrettung Gangelt e.V. in Gangelt.

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 James, answered.

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