Adopt Paule

Mixed Breed · Male

Paule appeared as a gaunt, shy shadow in the garden of the foster home. It took weeks for him to warm up. He had nothing to do with people or other cats. But hunger eventually convinced him, and he slowly began to build trust. At the vet, it turned out that he was neutered. Additionally, he was missing fur around his neck, possibly due to an allergic reaction to a flea collar. However, no one was missing him. Since Paule marked everything in the house despite being allowed outdoors and leaving no stone unturned, it was clear that his chances of finding a new home were zero. He is a very special character, showing autistic tendencies and stubbornly sticking to his preferences. The food bowl is 10 cm further to the left? Not with Paule, it stays put. He remained in foster care with his finders and is now a real old man who regularly makes the rounds around the house and then rests a lot. But he remained alert and attentive, only arthritis and a thyroid dysfunction need to be treated. We are very happy to have a sponsor for his medications and his regular vet visits every four weeks. This cat needs outdoor access.

Paule tauchte als abgemagerter scheuer Schatten im Garten der Pflegestelle auf. Es dauerte Wochen an ihn heranzukommen. Mit Menschen und anderen Katzen wollte er nichts zu tun haben. Doch der Hunger überzeugte ihn, so dass er langsam wieder Vertrauen aufbaute. Beim Tierarzt stellte sich heraus, dass er kastriert war. Außerdem fehlt ihm um den Hals herum Fell, eventuell durch eine allergische Reaktion auf ein Flohhalsband. Doch er wurde von niemandem vermisst. Da Paule alles in der Wohnung markierte trotz Freigang und wirklich nichts ausließ, war klar, dass seine Chance auf ein neues Zuhause gleich null waren. Er ist ein sehr spezieller Charakter, zeigt autistische Züge und beharrt stoisch auf seine Vorlieben. Das Futter steht 10 cm weiter links? Nicht mit Paule, da bleibt es stehen. Er blieb als Pflegekater bei seinen Findern und ist jetzt wirklich ein alter Herr geworden, der regelmäßig die Runde ums Haus macht und dann viel ruht. Aber wach und aufmerksam ist er geblieben, nur die Arthrose und eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion müssen behandelt werden. Für die Medikamente und seine regelmäßigen Arztbesuche alle vier Wochen freuen wir uns sehr über eine Patenschaft.

About Paule

What life with Paule looks like

Paule is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Bremen e.V. in Bremen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paule, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paule?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Bremen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Paule on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Paule if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhilfe Bremen 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 Paule 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 Paule 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 Katzenhilfe Bremen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Paule 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.
