Matti

Male · Young · 1 year

A quiet young man is looking for a calm home. He doesn't need to run into everything and everyone. I like to arrive, look around, and then decide when I want to go where. A household with a lot of commotion is nothing for me. I even tend to prefer a hallway or barn with a cozy den. I'm not sure yet. Maybe we can try this out carefully? Other cats are no problem, I also live with cat colleagues in a room here. But living in an apartment is also nothing for me. In and out must already be. I don't need dogs, children, etc., too much unrest. If you can imagine offering me a quiet spot where we can figure out together what's really good for me... please contact me. Animal adoptions are currently by appointment only. We ask you to contact us in advance by phone at 05481/4146 or by email if you are interested in one of our animals.

Zurückhaltender junger Mann sucht ruhiges zuhuase. Es muss ja nicht jeder auf alles und jeden zurennen. Ich mag halt erst ankommen, dann gucken und dann entscheiden, wann ich wo hin gehen möchte. Ein Haushalt mit viel Trubel ist nix für mich. Ich tendiere sogar dazu, daß ich eher Diele oder Scheune mit Kuschelhöhle gut finde. Ich weiß es aber noch nicht so genau. Vielleicht können wir das vorsichtig ausprobieren? Andere Katzen sind kein Problem, ich wohne hier auch mit Kaztzekollegen in einem Zimmer. Reine Wohnungshaltung ist aber auch nix für mich.Rein/Raus muss schon sein. Hunde, Kinder etc. brauche ich nicht, viel zu viel Unruhe. Wenn Sie sich vorstellen können, mr ein ruhiges Plätzchen anzubieten, wo wir zusammen rausfinden, was wirklich gut für mich ist…melden Sie sich doch bitte bei mir. 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 Matti

What life with Matti looks like

Matti 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Matti, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Matti?
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 Matti on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Matti 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 Matti 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 Matti 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 Matti 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.
