Adopt Justin

Male · Young · 1 year

Young man doesn't know what he wants yet.... Of course I know what I want. Not to starve. And that's why I tell everyone who doesn't want to hear it how big my hunger is. Namely soooooo big…… Yes indeed. No, I don't just think about eating. But if you've lived outside like me and had to figure out where and how to get your food….it eventually takes a toll on your psyche. No, I'm not crazy or anything, I've simply learned that you have to make sure you get full first. And then take care of the rest….. So don't assume you can pet and fuss over me. No way, first we eat and then….I'll reconsider the touching thing in peace. Because I actually don't like it. But here at the shelter there's this strange person (some call her the shelter manager) who apparently has the hobby of touching everything that doesn't want to be touched—Terrible woman. You've probably read about her here. Anyway, I now let myself be scratched behind the head, at least for 5 seconds or so. Otherwise she won't bring the food bowl over…..so annoying. That's why I'd rather move today than tomorrow. Barn, farmyard, hallway, fancy garden shed, other cat companions are no problem as long as they don't put their paws in my food…..you know what I mean. So if you have something along those lines to offer…Please contact us immediately. I want out of here! If you want, we can talk about the touching thing later. It doesn't have to be tomorrow…… Animal adoptions are currently only by appointment. We therefore ask you to contact us in advance by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email if you are interested in one of our animals.

Junger Mann weiß noch nicht was er will.... Natürlich weiß ich, was ich will. Nicht verhungern. Und deshalb sage ich auch jedem der es nicht hören will, was für einen großen Hunger ich habe. Nämlich soooooo groß……Jawohl ja. Nein, ich denke nicht nur ans Fressen. Aber wenn Sie wie ich draußen gelebt haben und gucken mussten, wo und wie Sie Ihr Futter bekommen….dann schlägt einem das irgendwann auf die Psyche. Nein, ich bin nicht gaga oder so, ich habe einfach gelernt das man zuerst schauen muss, das man satt wird. Und sich dann um den Rest kümmert….. Also gehen Sie nicht davon aus, daß Sie mich anfassen und betüdeln können. Nix da, erst wird gegessen und dann….überlege ich mir das mit dem Anfassen nochmal in aller Ruhe. Weil eigentlich mag ich das nicht. Aber hier im Tieheim gibt es so eine schräge Person (manche nennen sie auch Tierheimleitung) die offensichtliich das Hobby hat, alles was nicht angefasst werden möchte zu begrapschen- Furchtbar die Frau. Sie haben hier sicher schon davon gelesen. Na jedenfalls lasse ich mich nun notgedrungen am Kopf krabbeln, zumindest für 5 Sekunden oder so. Sonst kommt die ja mit dem Futternapf nicht über…..schrecklich nervig. Deshalb würde ich lieber heute als morgen umziehen. Scheune, Resthof, Diele schickes Gartenhäuschen, andere Katzenkollegen sind kein Problem, solange die nicht mit ihren Pfoten in meinem Essen…..Sie wissen ws ich meine. Sollten Sie also irgendwas in der Richtung im Angebot haben…Melden Sie sich bitte ungehend. Ich will hier raus! Meinetwegen können wir dann auch nochmal über das Anfassen reden. Muss ja nicht gleich morgen sein…… 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 an mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Justin

What life with Justin looks like

Justin 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Justin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Justin?
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 Justin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Justin 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 Justin 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 Justin 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 Justin 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.
