How do I contact the shelter about Matteo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelenkatzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Matteo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Matteo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Matteo 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 Matteo 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Matteo 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.

Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Kreta, Griechenland Alter: geboren am 20.01.2026 Geschlecht: männlich Charakter: sehr sozial, verschmust und menschenbezogen > KEINE EINZELHALTUNG Besonderheiten: keine Hallo, ich bin Matteo! Schön, dass du auf mich aufmerksam geworden bist. Ich bin ein junger Kater, der aktuell auf Kreta lebt. Ich bin auf der Suche nach meinem ganz persönlichen Für-Immer-Zuhause. Was mich besonders auszeichnet? Ich bin ein sozialer Kater und verstehe mich gut mit gut mit anderen Katzen. Daher möchte ich auf keinen Fall allein bleiben. Ich genieße auch die Nähe zu Menschen und freue mich über Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten. Mit meinem wunderschönen, flauschigen Schwanz bin ich außerdem ein echter Hingucker – aber natürlich ist mein lieber Charakter das, was mich ganz besonders macht. Ich wünsche mir Menschen, die mir ein sicheres und liebevolles Zuhause schenken und mit denen ich mein Leben teilen darf. Ich bin noch jung und möchte natürlich noch ganz viel entdecken, spielen, kuscheln und einfach das Leben genießen. Wenn du noch keinen Katzenfreund bei dir zu Hause hast, sag gern meinen Vermittlerinnen Bescheid. Dann bringe ich jemanden mit! Damit meinem Start in ein neues Leben nichts im Wege steht, wurde ich bereits vollständig geimpft (Katzenschnupfen, Katzenseuche und Tollwut) und per Schnelltest auf FeLV und FIV negativ getestet. Natürlich werde ich noch gechipt und in meinem Pass wird alles festgehalten. Ich bin also nahezu bereit, mein Köfferchen zu packen und mein großes Abenteuer zu beginnen. Bis hoffentlich ganz bald, dein Matteo *Der Verein agiert bei den griechischen Fellnasen als Vermittlungshilfe. Er unterstützt die Kommunikation zwischen Adoptant*in und Tierschützer*in vor Ort.*

About Matteo

What life with Matteo looks like

Matteo is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
