How do I contact the shelter about Meister Eder?

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

Can I adopt Meister Eder if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Minden 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 Meister Eder 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 Meister Eder 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 Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Meister Eder 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.

Meister Eder

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Our Master Eder, like his namesake, can be a bit grumpy. He's particularly annoyed by the other cats and wants to live without them at all! The old gentleman is also absolutely not happy about being locked up and definitely needs outdoor access in his new home. You can hear him meowing a lot in the cat house, or he's waiting for opportunities to slip out of his room ;-) In general, he finds people pretty great and would also like to be stroked, but his current agitation level is a bit of a hindrance and it can happen that he ends the stroking he previously demanded by hitting and running away. We are looking for a quiet new home for him with outdoor access and lots of love for old cats ;-) Then send us an email with information and photos about the future care of the cat or leave a message on our answering machine. We would be happy to arrange an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible furnishing options. In a personal conversation, we will discuss you and the needs of the individual animal and find the best possible human-cat constellation with you.

Wie sein Namensvetter wirkt unser Meister Eder auch etwas grantelig. Vor allem die anderen Katzen nerven ihn sehr und er möchte auf jeden Fall wieder ohne andere Katzen leben! Der alte Herr ist zudem absolut nicht begeistert davon eingesperrt zu sein und benötigt in seinem neuen Zuhause auf jeden Fall Freigang. Im Katzenhaus hört man ihn sehr viel meckern, oder er wartet auf Gelegenheiten, um aus seinem Zimmer huschen zu können ;-) Generell findet er Menschen ziemlich toll und möchte auch gerne gestreichelt werden, jedoch ist ihm aktuell seine Erregungslage noch etwas im Weg und es kann passieren, dass er die Streicheleinheiten, die er zuvor eingefordert hat, durch schlagen und wegrennen wieder beendet. Wir suchen für ihn ein ruhiges neues Zuhause mit Freigang und ganz viel Liebe für alte Zausel ;-) Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Meister Eder

What life with Meister Eder looks like

Meister Eder is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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.

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.
