Adopt Johannes

British Shorthair · Male

Johannes is a very loving and relaxed tomcat who often lies on his back so that his belly can be scratched better. He gets along well with his cat buddies, plays very much with them, and also celebrates when mutual cat grooming is in order. It would be nice if there was a same-aged buddy available in his new home.

Read original (de)

Johannes ist ein sehr lieber und entspannter Kater, der oft auf dem Rücken liegt, so dass man seinen Bauch besser kraulen kann. Er versteht sich gut mit seinen Katerkumpel, spielt sehr gerne mit diesen und feiert auch ein Fest, wenn gegenseitige Katzenwäsche angesagt ist. Es wäre schön, wenn in seinem neuen Zuhause ein gleichaltriger Kumpel vorhanden wäre.

About Johannes

What life with Johannes looks like

Johannes is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Frankenthal 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 Johannes, answered.

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