How do I contact the shelter about Mabel?

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 Mabel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mabel 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 Mabel 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 Mabel 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 Mabel 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.

Adopt Mabel

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Does not understand the dog of the owner, Kuschelige Dame with Regierungsabsicht seeks adequate home. So now, everything sounds like it has come to an end. Regierungsabsicht… they must be joking. Mrs. must intervene regulatively. I have no intentions… at least no negative ones. Please put yourself in my situation. I was somehow “lost” by my original owners, or they simply did not notice that I am not there. Or how else should I explain that no one came to pick me up from the animal shelter. I was vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas, neutered, and microchipped. Eww… but now, what does Mrs. not do to try to move me as quickly as possible into a nice home… This has worked quite well so far. If I had known beforehand that my current roommates would turn into a monster named Hund a few months later… I would not have moved in. He just wants to play… but I do not!! But no one asked me… I made this clear to the boy multiple times and “said” who is in charge here. And I gave him a good scolding… but dogs are just dumb… he did not understand. That is why I am now back in the animal shelter. Mrs. cannot handle that… In the luggage, a lot of comfort food. I want to lose this now. Less stress, fewer calories, more exercise. Kuscheln should be very effective. If you can offer a dog-free environment, please contact me. And no worries. I really have no intention of going to the government… I am just saying where we are going… apropos going. Free roam is non-negotiable. Do not believe… if you like having it wet in the house… Please… animal placements are currently only by appointment. We ask you to contact us by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email if you are interested in one of our animals. This cat needs outdoor access.

Versteht sich nicht mit Hund der Besitzer Kuschelige Dame mit Regierungsabsicht sucht adäquates zuhause Also jetzt hört sich doch alles auf. Regierungsabsicht……die spinnen doch. Da muss Frau doch gleich mal regulierend eingreifen. Ich habe überhaupt keine Absichten…zumindest keine negativen. Versetzen Sie sich doch bitte in meine Lage. Ich wurde von meine ursprünglichen Besitzern irgendwie “verloren” bzw, die haben nicht bemerkt daß ich nicht mehr da bin. Oder wie sonst soll ich mir erklären, daß mich niemand aus dem Tierheim abgeholt hat. Ich wurde hier geimpft, entwurmt, entfloht, kastriert und gechipt. Igitt…..aber nun, was tut Frau nicht alles um möglichst schnell in ein schönes zuhause umzuziehen….. Das hat auch ziemlich schnell geklappt, soweit, so gut. Hätte ich allerdings vorher gewusst, daß meine dortigen Dosenöffner mir ein paar Monate später so ein Monster Namens Hund auf den Hals hetzen…ich wäre da n i c h t eingezogen. Der will ja nur spielen….aber ich nicht!! Aber mich hat ja keiner gefragt… Das habe ich dem Bengel auch mehrfach klar gemacht und “gesagt” wer hier das Sagen hat. Und ihm ordentlich eins übergezogen….aber Hunde sind einfach doof….das hat der nicht verstanden. Weshalb ich jetzt wieder ins Tierheim umgezogen bin. Das hält Frau ja nicht aus……Im Gepäck ganz viel Kummerspeck. Den will ich jetzt wieder abtrainieren. Weniger Stress, weniger Kalorien, mehr Bewegung. Kuscheln soll da ja sehr effektiv sein. Falls Sie also ein Hundefreies Umfeld anbieten können, melden Sie sich gerne bei mir. Und keine Sorge. Ich habe wirklich überhaupt keine Regierungsabsicht……ich sage nur wo es lang geht….apropo lang gehen. Freigang ist unabdingbar und nicht verhandelbar. Glauben Sie nicht…..wenn Sie es gerne nass in der Wohnung haben……Bitteschön……. 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 mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Mabel

What life with Mabel looks like

Mabel is a young adult british shorthair 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.
