How do I contact the shelter about Joey?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Waldtierheim Celle 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 — Waldtierheim Celle 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 Waldtierheim Celle 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.

Joey

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Waldtierheim Celle, Im Sande 3 (Approach towards Osterloh) We need you - your support helps our dogs, cats, and small animals. Now inform. For our shy and wild cats, we desperately seek farms, stables, etc., where they can find a protected place to live. For more information: click here Joey is a young tomcat who was born on a farm. At first, he meets strangers with some reserve and needs time to build trust. If given this time, he shows his loving side: then he enjoys cuddles and the closeness of his people very much. With other cats, Joey gets along well and likes to orient himself to his fellow animals. Therefore, he will not be rehomed in single housing. For his happiness, he absolutely needs a feline companion of a similar age or a home where a social cat is already waiting for him. For Joey, we wish for patient people who give him the opportunity to settle in at his own pace. Those who win his trust get a loving and cuddly companion by their side. 🐾 For more information, our team from Waldtierheim, a member of the Association of Lower Saxon Animal Protection Societies e.V., is happy to help.

Waldtierheim Celle, Im Sande 3 (Zufahrt Richtung Osterloh) Wir brauchen Dich - deine Unterstützung hilft unseren Hunden, Katzen und Kleintieren. Jetzt informieren. Für unsere scheuen und wilden Katzen suchen wir händeringend Bauernhöfe, Reiterhöfe etc. wo sie einen geschützten Platz zum Leben finden. Nähere Informationen: hier klicken Joey ist ein junger Kater, der auf einem Bauernhof geboren wurde. Fremden Menschen begegnet er anfangs noch etwas zurückhaltend und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Gibt man ihm diese Zeit, zeigt er seine liebevolle Seite: Dann genießt er Streicheleinheiten und die Nähe seiner Menschen sehr. Mit anderen Katzen ist Joey gut verträglich und orientiert sich gerne an seinen Artgenossen. Deshalb wird er nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt. Für sein Glück braucht er unbedingt einen Katzenkumpel im ähnlichen Alter oder ein Zuhause, in dem bereits eine soziale Katze auf ihn wartet. Für Joey wünschen wir uns geduldige Menschen, die ihm die Möglichkeit geben, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Wer sein Vertrauen gewinnt, bekommt einen liebenswerten und verschmusten Begleiter an seine Seite. 🐾 Nähere Infos erteilt unser Team vom Waldtierheim Mitglied im Verband Niedersächsischer Tierschutzvereine e.V.

About Joey

What life with Joey looks like

Joey is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Waldtierheim Celle 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.
