How do I contact the shelter about Josh?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Tecklenburger Land handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Josh on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Josh if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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 Josh 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 Josh 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 Tecklenburger Land early rather than rehoming privately; they know Josh 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.

Josh

Male · Young · 1 year

A cuddly cat with a big appetite is looking for a new home. The "mistress of the cat texts" isn't particularly imaginative at the moment. New home, cuddly cat... we've read it all here. I don't want to be that guy, I'm happy to help. So here we go: Dynamic, good-looking young man with a taste for good food... well, I'm not really picky. Sounds better. Continuing. For good food, nice company (especially from girls...) and a garden or something similar for daily walks, looking for a sophisticated home with bipeds who know how to pamper cats (pampering), but still give them their freedom. Not so bad, right? Too high-brow? Here's the alternative. I, Josh, fit, agile, cuddle and food enthusiast, am looking for a shared flat with a garden for outdoor time and occasional meetups with fellow cats. Short, important information included and everyone understands what it's about. It fits. Do you fit me? What a cool phrase... I really need to remember that... Animal adoptions are currently by appointment only. If you're interested in one of our animals, please contact us by phone at 05481/4146 or by email in advance.

Kuschelfreak mit großem Appetit freut sich über neuen Wirkungskreis Na, besonders Ideenreich ist die “Herrin über die Katzentexte” zurzeit ja nicht. Neuer Wirkungskreis, Kuscheliger Kater…hat man hier ja alles schon gelesen. Ich will mal nicht so sein, ich helfe ja gern. Also, los geht`s: Dynamischer, gut aussehender junger Mann mit Sinn für gutes Essen…naja, ich bin da eigentlich nicht so wählerisch. Klingt aber besser. Weiter. Für gutes Essen, nette Gesellschaft (vor allem die von Mädels..) und Garten oder ähnliches zum tgl. Rundgang sucht niveauvolles zuhause mit Zweibeinern, die wissen, wie man Katzen verwöhnt (Streicheleinheiten), ihnen aber trotzdem ihren Freiraum lassen. Gar nicht so schlecht, oder? Zu abgehoben? Bitteschön, hier die Alternative. Ich, Josh, fit, agil, Kuschel-und Futterbegeistert, suche WG mit Garten für Freigang und gelegentlichen Treffs mit Katzenkollegen. Kurz, wichtige Infos drin und alle haben verstanden worum es geht. Passt doch. Passen Sie auch zu mir? Was für eine coole Formulierung…..muss ich mir unbedingt merken….. Tiervermittlungen finden zurzeit nur mit Termin statt. Wir bitten Sie daher, sich bei Interesse an einem unserer Tiere vorab telefonisch unter 05481 / 4146 oder per E-Mail mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Josh

What life with Josh looks like

Josh is a large young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

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.
