Lenny

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Verträglichkeit: zu einer etwa gleichaltrigen vorhandenen Katze oder zusammen mit Shio, Niko, Momo Lenny kam als Fundtier zu uns. Schnell wurde klar die Nächte der Kollegin werden kürzer und unterbrochen werden. Lenny war gerade einmal ein paar Tage alt und musste mit der Flasche aufgezogen werden. Mittlerweile ist er ein lieber, schmusiger und neugieriger Kater, dem noch seine Grenzen aufgezeigt werden müssen. Ganz kleine Kinder sollten nicht mit im Haushalt wohnen, da Lenny noch sehr frech ist und ohne böse Absicht auch mal an einem hochspringt und hochklettert. Um sich vernünftig auszupowern würde er später gerne den Freigang genießen.

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Lenny, answered.

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