Louis

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

EKH, male, neutered, born around 2018, Louis was surrendered because his owner passed away. There is another tomcat as well, but he ran away during the commotion and has not returned yet according to the neighbors. Both have probably only lived indoors, but we have received very few details. Louis was initially very shy, but has been warming up and becoming more trusting.

EKH, männlich, kastriertgeb. ca. 2018 Louis wurde abgegeben, weil sein Besitzer verstorben ist. Es gehört noch ein zweiter Kater dazu, aber der ist bei der Hektik weggelaufen und lt. den Nachbarn noch nicht wieder gekommen. Beide haben wohl bisher nur in der Wohnung gelebt, aber wir haben nur wenige Infos bekommen. Louis war anfangs sehr scheu, mittlerweile taut er auf und wird zutraulicher.

About Louis

What life with Louis looks like

Louis is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Dillenburg in Dillenburg.

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 Louis, answered.

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