Jaro

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Jaro was found in Landau and was in poor general condition. He was very thin, dirty, his fur was dull and he had some bald spots. Additionally, he had very dirty ears and a cold with a massive eye infection were also issues. Unfortunately, his blood test also revealed kidney insufficiency, which requires medication. Jaro actually feels quite comfortable at the cat house, but he prefers it even more when people are in the room. The sweet cat is just to fall in love with. He's very curious and extremely affectionate. Even when cleaning the litter box, he's always eagerly helping out with cuddling and sometimes sits on our shoulder. With the other cats, it also works well and it depends on their sympathy for him. We are looking for a new home for Jaro with later outdoor access and loving people who are aware of his illness and the associated veterinary costs. Additionally, they should enjoy being cuddled a lot. Children are no problem for the dear cat

Jaro wurde in Landau gefunden und befand sich in einen schlechten Allgemeinzustand. Er war sehr dünn, schmutzig, sein Fell war stumpf und teilweise hatte er kahle Stellen. Zudem hatte er sehr schmutzige Ohren und auch ein Schnupfen mit einer massiven Augenentzündung machten ihn zu schaffen. Leider ergab seine Blutuntersuchung auch eine Niereninsuffizienz, die mit Medikamentengabe verbunden ist. Im Katzenhaus fühlt sich Jaro eigentlich ganz wohl, aber noch besser findet er es wenn Menschen mit im Zimmer sind. Der süße Kater ist einfach zum Verlieben. Er ist sehr neugierig und extrem verschmust. Auch beim Katzenklo säubern ist er immer tatkräftig am unterstützen mit Schmusen und es kann auch mal sein, das er auf unserer Schulter sitzt. Mit den anderen Katzen klappt es auch ganz gut und ist bei ihm Sympathiesache. Wir suchen für Jaro ein neues Zuhause mit späteren Freigang und lieben Menschen die sich seiner Krankeit und den damit verbunden Tierarztkosten bewusst sind. Zudem sollten sie es mögen viel beschmust zu werden. Kinder sind für den lieben Kater kein Problem

About Jaro

What life with Jaro looks like

Jaro is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn 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. 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 Jaro, answered.

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