James

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

James Tier-ID: 1117 At the animal shelter since April 2, 2026, James was brought to us by attentive neighbors because his people moved away without him. He had multiple injuries that required medical care over a long period. James is still a bit reserved and needs to build trust and learn that people can also do good things for him. Knowledge of cat language is definitely advantageous. Compatibility with other animals is still being observed as he hasn't been in the big cat room for long. So far, however, he is doing quite well.

James Tier-ID: 1117 Im Tierheim seit 02.04.2026 James wurde von aufmerksamen Nachbarn zu uns gebracht, weil seine Menschen ohne ihn weggezogen sind. Er hatte diverse Verletzungen, die medizinisch über längere Zeit versorgt werden mussten. James ist z. Z. noch ein bisschen reserviert und muss erst Vertrauen aufbauen und lernen, dass Menschen ihm auch Gutes tun können. Kenntnis von Katzensprache ist auf jeden Fall von Vorteil. Die Verträglichkeit mit Artgenossen wird z. Z. noch beobachtet, da er noch nicht lange im großen Katzenzimmer lebt. Bisher kommt er aber ganz gut klar. Zurück

About James

What life with James looks like

James is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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. Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung 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 — Tierschutzverein Lippstadt 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 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 Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung 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.
