How do I contact the shelter about Jürgen?

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

Can I adopt Jürgen if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Jürgen 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 Jürgen 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jürgen 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.

Jürgen

Male · Senior · 16 years

- friendly - confident - calm animal Jürgen came to us as a found animal at our shelter. Now the friendly tomcat is on the lookout for sponsors. Herzibert is a friendly and confident tomcat with a particularly calm and balanced nature. He meets his surroundings with a relaxed and sovereign attitude and is rarely ruffled. With his pleasant nature and gentle character, he is a very special resident who quickly wins the sympathy of those who get to know him. Due to a thyroid condition, Herzibert requires permanent medical care and appropriate nourishment. Therefore, he is currently not seeking a new home but rather loving sponsors who want to support him. By sponsoring him, you help cover the costs for his treatment, medications, and general care, allowing him to have a secure and well-cared-for life. A sponsorship is a wonderful way to accompany Herzibert and do something good for him, even if he does not move in with you. Every support contributes to ensuring that he continues to receive the care he needs. If you want to support Herzibert with a sponsorship, you are giving a lovable tomcat a piece of security and a future. If you want to support Tamo, we are happy to have sponsors who financially support the little mouse. 19.06.2026 (kw)

Jürgen kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun ist der freundliche Kater auf der suche nach Pat*innen. Herzibert ist ein freundlicher und selbstbewusster Kater mit einem besonders ruhigen und ausgeglichenen Wesen. Er begegnet seiner Umgebung gelassen und souverän und lässt sich nur selten aus der Ruhe bringen. Mit seiner angenehmen Art und seinem sanften Charakter ist er ein ganz besonderer Bewohner, der schnell die Sympathie der Menschen gewinnt, die ihn kennenlernen. Aufgrund einer Schilddrüsenerkrankung benötigt Herzibert eine dauerhafte medizinische Betreuung und entsprechende Versorgung. Deshalb sucht er zurzeit kein neues Zuhause, sondern liebevolle Patinnen und Paten, die ihn unterstützen möchten. Mit einer Patenschaft helfen Sie dabei, die Kosten für seine Behandlung, Medikamente und allgemeine Versorgung zu tragen und ermöglichen ihm ein sicheres und gut betreutes Leben. Eine Patenschaft ist eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, Herzibert zu begleiten und ihm etwas Gutes zu tun, auch wenn er nicht bei Ihnen einzieht. Jede Unterstützung trägt dazu bei, dass er weiterhin die Pflege erhält, die er benötigt. Wer Herzibert mit einer Patenschaft unterstützen möchte, schenkt einem liebenswerten Kater ein Stück Sicherheit und Zukunft. Wenn sie Tamo unterstützen möchten, freuen wir uns über Pat*innen, die die kleine Maus finanziell unterstützen. 19.06.2026 (kw)

About Jürgen

What life with Jürgen looks like

Jürgen is a senior cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
