How do I contact the shelter about Pauli?

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

Can I adopt Pauli if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Euskirchen 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 Pauli 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 Pauli 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 Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pauli 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.

Pauli

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Pauli originally comes from Russia and was adopted directly into Germany. His new owner wanted to do something good for her two-year-old indoor cat and provide him with a companion of the same species. Unfortunately, the situation turned out quite differently than expected. Although Pauli never did anything to harm his new roommate, the resident cat was completely overwhelmed by the new living conditions. He withdrew more and more and eventually began to urinate and defecate outside the litter box. The owner desperately searched for a solution. The animal shelter couldn't take Pauli in due to the tense situation, and our own facilities are already fully booked. Nevertheless, we decided to give him the chance for a fresh start. Pauli himself is entirely blameless for this development. He's a sweet, friendly cat who is very people-oriented and is now waiting for a home where he can feel truly at ease. Just write to us. As soon as we receive your message, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Please understand that we can't always respond immediately. Please allow us one to two days to get back to you.

DE·Show original

Pauli stammt ursprünglich aus Russland und kam als Direktadoption nach Deutschland. Seine neue Besitzerin wollte ihrem zweijährigen Wohnungskater etwas Gutes tun und ihm einen Artgenossen zur Seite stellen. Leider entwickelte sich die Situation ganz anders als erhofft. Obwohl Pauli seinem neuen Mitbewohner nie etwas getan hat, war der vorhandene Kater mit der neuen Lebenssituation völlig überfordert. Er zog sich immer weiter zurück und wurde schließlich unsauber. Die Halterin suchte verzweifelt nach einer Lösung. Das Tierheim konnte Pauli aufgrund der angespannten Situation nicht aufnehmen und auch bei uns sind die Plätze eigentlich längst belegt. Trotzdem haben wir uns entschieden, ihm die Chance auf einen Neuanfang zu geben. Pauli selbst trägt keinerlei Schuld an dieser Entwicklung. Er ist ein lieber, freundlicher Kater, der den Menschen sehr zugewandt ist und nun auf ein Zuhause wartet, in dem er ankommen darf.

About Pauli

What life with Pauli looks like

Pauli is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. 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.
