How do I contact the shelter about Kratzer, Sauron?

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

Can I adopt Kratzer, Sauron if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. 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 Kratzer, Sauron 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 Kratzer, Sauron 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 Minden e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kratzer, Sauron 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.

Likely adopted

Kratzer, Sauron

Mixed Breed · Male

Two brothers are "one hothead and one softie", which is why we would love to place them together in a new home. They came to the shelter as completely frightened babies and have gradually thawed. They are now very lively and curious little fellows who play and romp a lot, but can also relax with petting. Kratzer (the one with a lot of white on his body) doesn't like being cuddled for too long; he doesn't have time for that ;-) His brother Sauron (white nose stripe), on the other hand, often enjoys petting and even falls asleep while being petted. Then please send us an email with information and photos about the future care of the cat or leave a message on our answering machine. We would be happy to arrange an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible furnishing options. In a personal conversation, we will discuss you and the needs of the individual animal and find the best possible human-cat constellation with you.

DE·Show original

Die beiden Brüder sind „ein Kopp und ein Arsch“, daher wollen wir sie am liebsten gemeinsam in ein neues Zuhause vermitteln. Sie kamen ins Tierheim als völlig verängstigte Babys und konnten nun nach und nach auftauen. Mittlerweile sind sie sehr aufgeweckte und neugierige kleine Gesellen, die viel spielen und toben, aber auch bei Streicheleinheiten zur Ruhe kommen können. Kratzer (der mit viel weiß am Körper) mag es nicht so gerne sehr lange gekuschelt zu werden, dafür hat er keine Zeit ;-) Sein Bruder Sauron hingegen (weißer Nasenstrich) genießt Streicheleinheiten oft und schläft dabei auch mal ein. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.
