Paulchen-Günther

Male · Senior · 18 years

- lieb und verschmust - braucht ein ruhiges Zuhause - stubenrein - sucht einen Hospizplatz Paulchen-Günther musste mit seinen stolzen 18 Jahren so ziemlich das schlimmste erleben, das ihm hätte passieren können: Der kleine Kerl wurde einfach ausgesetzt. Mutterseelenallein kam er in unsere Obhut. Unser Paulchen-Günther ist gesundheitlich sehr angeschlagen: Neben altersbedingtem Muskelabbau, Bluthochdruck und Arthrose, hat Paulchen-Günther einen stark fortgeschrittenen Lebertumor. Wir gehen davon aus, dass der kleine Kerl nur noch wenige Wochen bis Monate zu leben hat. Bisher verbringt er diese Zeit im Tierheim, freut sich über Aufmerksamkeit und schnurrt, wenn er gestreichelt wird. Damit er seine letzte Reise nicht vom Tierheim aus antreten muss, sondern seine letzte Zeit so schön wie möglich verbringen kann, suchen wir einen Hospizplatz für ihn. Dieser wird als Dauerpflege gedacht, bei der wir für die wenigen Monate, die ihm voraussichtlich noch bleiben, Paulchen-Günthers Medikamentenkosten übernehmen. Paulchen-Günther gibt trotz allem nicht auf und überrascht uns regelmäßig mit seiner Lebenslust. Wir hoffen sehr, dass der kleine Kerl noch so lange durchhält, bis wir einen Hospizplatz für ihn gefunden haben. Bis es soweit ist und Paulchen-Günther umziehen kann, freuen wir uns sehr über tierliebe Menschen, die eine Patenschaft für ihn übernehmen.

About Paulchen-Günther

What life with Paulchen-Günther looks like

Paulchen-Günther 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paulchen-Günther, answered.

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