Adopt Joey

Mixed Breed · Male

Joey is a curious little tomcat who, at first, is still a bit timid and will hiss at everyone for a while. However, he very much enjoys being stroked and will then start to purr. Joey had double teeth. Therefore, he had to undergo an operation where all his teeth except for the fangs had to be removed. But despite everything, he has a healthy appetite and likes to play and snuggle with a companion. Therefore, he should not be alone in his new home. A later release to the outdoors or a cat-safe netted balcony would be nice. This cat needs outdoor access.

Joey ist ein neugieriger kleiner Kater, der anfangs noch etwas ängstlich ist und vorsichtshalber erst mal alle anfaucht. Er lässt sich aber sehr gerne streicheln und fängt dann auch an zu schnurren. Joey hatte doppelte Zähne. Deshalb musste er sich einer OP unterziehen, bei der leider bis auf die Fangzähne alle anderen gezogen werden mussten. Aber trotz allem hat er einen gesunden Appetit und spielt und kuschelt gerne mit einem Kameraden. Deshalb sollte er nicht alleine sein in seinem neuen Heim. Späterer Freigang oder vernetzter Balkon wäre schön. kastriert

About Joey

What life with Joey looks like

Joey is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Joey, answered.

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