How do I contact the shelter about Paulchen?

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

Can I adopt Paulchen if I live in another country?

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

Paulchen

Male · Senior · 18 years

Lovely, cuddly - lap pet - friendly - calm animal Paulchen came to us as a found animal at the shelter. Now the sweet old cat is looking for foster parents. The dear Paulchen is an especially friendly and calm cat who enjoys being close to people. With his gentle nature he conquers hearts by storm and always shows himself open and affectionate. Petting and shared cuddling sessions are among the best things in everyday life for him. His calm and balanced nature makes him a pleasant companion who gratefully accepts any attention. Since Paulchen will stay at the animal shelter for the first time, he is not looking for a new home but loving foster parents who want to support him. With a sponsorship you help ensure his care and support and at the same time give him the certainty that people think of him and accompany him. Paulchen is grateful for any support and for people who want to be connected to him on this path. If you would like to support Paulchen, we are happy about sponsors who financially support the little mouse. 19.06.2026 (kw)

About Paulchen

What life with Paulchen looks like

Paulchen is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
