How do I contact the shelter about Patrick?

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

Can I adopt Patrick if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren 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 Patrick 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 Patrick 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 Ibbenbüren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Patrick 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 Patrick

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Foster Help Patrick is looking for his Forever Home The handsome tomcat Patrick is about 2 years old and a real heartbreaker. He is exceptionally social and gets along well with other cats, getting along famously with his fellow animals. That’s why he would particularly enjoy a home where a friendly cat already lives, or one where he can move in with a cat friend. Patrick also shows his best side to people: he is very loving, cuddly, and relishes in cuddles. With his friendly and balanced nature, he quickly wins the hearts of his human family. Patrick will only be rehomed to a pure apartment living environment. A secure balcony or a cat-safe enclosed garden would be a big plus, so he can enjoy fresh air and exciting observations. Of course, Patrick is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for the move into his new home. Who will give this wonderful tomcat the love and security he deserves? Patrick is looking forward to his new family!

About Patrick

What life with Patrick looks like

Patrick is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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.
