Leo

British Shorthair · Male

Leo ist ein ganz besonders lieber Scottish-Fold-Kater, der im Tierheim auf seine Menschen wartet. Er ist ein ruhiger und zarter Kater, der die Nähe zu seinen Menschen sehr genießt. Besonders glücklich ist Leo, wenn er sich gemütlich auf den Schoß kuscheln darf – Schmusen gehört definitiv zu seinen Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Gleichzeitig ist Leo neugierig und erkundet gerne seine Umgebung. Er zeigt sich bislang verträglich im Umgang mit Artgenossen. Leo ist ein eher sanftes, wenngleich neugieriges und waches Wesen und sucht Menschen, die ihm ein passendes Zuhause schenken und um seine Rasse Bescheid wissen. Wer schenkt diesem wunderschönen, verschmusten Kerl ein liebevolles Zuhause und zeigt ihm, wie schön das Leben außerhalb des Tierheims sein kann?

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Leo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Herne-Wanne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Herne-Wanne 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 Leo 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 Leo 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 Herne-Wanne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo 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.
