Joschi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Joschi is a timid and shy little cat who came into our care in the spring. We are now looking for a loving home for this little guy. Here we experience Joschi as a reserved, anxious cat. He is not yet comfortable around people and does not like to be touched. A quiet home without children is a must for Joschi. He gets quite panicked and needs a lot of time to gain trust and settle in. A large apartment where he can have his peace is just right for him. Joschi would also be thrilled with a secure balcony and a cozy scratching post.

ängstlich und scheu - braucht ein ruhiges Zuhause - stubenrein - zieht gerne zu einem weiteren Kater im ähnlichen Alter Ich bin schon so gut wie vermittelt. Bitte nicht mehr bewerben! (22.10.2026) Der kleine Joschi kam im Frühling in unsere Obhut. Nun suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause für den kleinen Kerl. Hier erleben wir Joschi als zurückhaltenden Kater. Er traut sich uns Menschen gegenüber noch nicht so richtig aus seinem Pelz und lässt sich nicht gerne anfassen. Anderen Katzen ist er aber sehr aufgeschlossen und sucht Kontakt. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn er im neuen Zuhause einen Katzenfreund fürs Leben findet, einen kastrierten Kater im ähnlichen Alter. Vielleicht kann ihm ein souveränes Partnertier auch über seine Schüchternheit hinweg helfen. Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder ist ein Muss für Joschi. Er wird recht schnell panisch und braucht viel Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und anzukommen. Damit der kleine Kerl auch mal seine Ruhe haben kann, ist eine große Wohnung genau das Richtige für ihn. Auch über einen gesicherten Balkon und einen gemütlichen Kratzbaum würde Joschi sich riesig freuen.

About Joschi

What life with Joschi looks like

Joschi is an extra-large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joschi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joschi?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joschi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joschi if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hamburg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Joschi 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 Joschi 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 Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joschi 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.
