How do I contact the shelter about Maddy?

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

Can I adopt Maddy 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 Maddy 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 Maddy 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 Maddy 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.

Maddy

Female · Young · 2 years

A quiet and affectionate cat mom is looking for a similar home. Cuddling yes please and very much so. Now that my offspring are on their own, I finally have time to take care of myself. It does take its toll when you bring up 5 kittens at the same time. Despite proper feeding, you can see my motherhood in me. Very thin and slow, I would like a break from the little ones. While I want to emphasize that I love them all very much. Now I am looking for a loving home for the kittens. As soon as they are all settled, I can take care of myself. Sleep in, not 24/7 keeping an eye on the little ones, just do what I want. A wonderful idea. I am very uncomplicated, as long as there is enough to eat, a cozy den for retreat and plenty of cuddles. And after a period of adjustment, I would like to go outside. Maybe I can also manage with a secured balcony. We can decide that together. The main thing is that I can relax. So if you are more of a quiet lover who likes to relax on the couch in company, we will get along well. I would be very happy if you contact me. Animal adoptions currently only by appointment. If you are interested in one of our animals, please contact us by phone at 05481/4146 or by email.

Ruhige Kuschelige Katzenmama sucht ebensolches zuhause Kuscheln ja bitte und sehr gerne. Nachdem mein Nachwuchs jetzt auf eigenen Pfoten steht, habe ich endlich Zeit mich ein bißchen um mich selber zu kümmern. Es zerrt ja doch an der Substanz wenn man 5 Zwerge gleichzeitug zur Welt brngt und groß zieht. Man sieht mir trotz entsprechender Fütterung mein Muttersein an. Sehr dünn und langsam hätte ich gerne eine Pause von den lieben Kleinen Wobei ich betonen nöchte, daß ich sie alle sehr lieb habe. Jedes einzelne. Für die Zwerge suche ich jetzt ein liebevolles zuhause. Sobald alle untergebracht sind, kann ich mich dann um mich selber kümmern. Ausschlafen, nicht 24/7 die Augen auf die lieben Kleinen haben, einfach mal machen wie ich möchte. Eine wunderbare Vorstellung. Ich bin sehr unkompliziert, solange es genug zu fressen, eine Kuschlhöhle als Rückzugsort und Massen an Streicheleinheiten gibt. Und nach einer Eimgewöhnngszeit gerne Freigang. Evtl. komme ich auch mit einerm gesichertem Balkon zurecht. Das können wir dann zusammen entscheiden. Hauptsache, ich kann entspannen. Wenn es also eher ruhiger lieben und gerne in Gesellschaft entspannt auf dem Sofa sitzen/liegen, kommen wir sicher gut miteinander aus. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Sie sicb bei mir melden 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 Maddy

What life with Maddy looks like

Maddy is a young adult 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.
