How do I contact the shelter about Paul?

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

Can I adopt Paul if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Brilon 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 Paul 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 Paul 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 Brilon early rather than rehoming privately; they know Paul 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.

Paul

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Paul was dropped off at our shelter, as his owners moved and no longer allowed Paul outside, which he did not handle well. In a few words, Paul is dreamy, cuddly, and craves constant cuddling. He is an absolute dream tomcat. While he gets along with most fellow animals, he doesn't always love them. However, as is often the case, there is a drawback. Paul has FORL, a dental condition where the body breaks down its own tooth substance (roots and jawbone). Affected teeth need to be removed. Currently, Paul has had a dental procedure and the first affected tooth has already been extracted. This dental condition is very common among cats. Paul is a lively and super affectionate tomcat who also gets along with children. He wishes for a home with later outdoor access. If you are interested in him, feel free to contact us. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Paul wurde im Tierheim abgegeben, da seine Besitzer umgezogen sind und Paul dort nicht mehr raus durfte, womit er nicht gut zurecht kam. Man kann Paul mit wenigen Worten beschreiben: traumhaft lieb, verschmust und will den ganzen Tag gekuschelt werden. Er ist ein absoluter Traumkater. Mit den meisten Artgenossen kommt Paul auch zurecht, auch wenn er sie nicht immer liebt. Wie es aber immer so ist, gibt es auch ein Manko. Paul hat die Zahnerkrankung FORL. Der Körper baut bei dieser Erkrankung die eigene Zahnsubstanz ab (Zahnwurzeln und Zahnbein). Betroffene Zähne müssen dann gezogen werden. Aktuell hat Paul eine Zahnsanierung hinter sich und der erste betroffene Zahn wurde bereits gezogen. Diese Zahnerkrankung ist sehr weit verbreitet unter den Katzen. Paul ist ein lebensfroher und super lieber Kater, der auch mit Kindern zurecht kommt. Er wünscht sich ein Zuhause mit späteren Freigang. Wennn du Interesse an ihm hast, meld dich gerne bei uns. 🙂

About Paul

What life with Paul looks like

Paul is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Brilon in Germany.

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.
