Joris

Male

verspielt, verträglich, könnte gut als Zweitkater ausziehen Über Joris Joris ist einer von 3 Katern, die gemeinsam in einem unserer schönen großen Zimmer, mit der Möglichkeit auf Freigang, wohnen. Anfangs war er schüchtern, aber bei unserer Katzenflüsterin zeigt er sich mittlerweile von einer anderen Seite und kommt, wenn sie mit den anderen Katern im Zimmer spielt, auch freudig dazu. Joris ist auf jeden Fall der Ruhigste aus der Katzengruppe und genau solche Menschen suchen wir für ihn… ruhige, liebe Katzenfreunde, die ihn in seinem Tempo ankommen lassen und nicht erwarten, dass er nach einer Woche auf dem Schoß sitzt. Er ist sehr verträglich und könnte daher gut mit einem seiner Kumpel ausziehen oder zu einem sozialen Kater, der sich auf Gesellschaft freut. Freigang sollte er auf jeden Fall bekommen, sobald er Vertrauen gefasst hat zu seinen Menschen.

About Joris

What life with Joris looks like

Joris is a large adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Joris, answered.

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