How do I contact the shelter about Poseidon?

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

Can I adopt Poseidon if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Poseidon 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 Poseidon 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Poseidon 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.

Poseidon

Male · Adult · 5 years

Poseidon came to our shelter as a found animal. The friendly cat is now looking for foster parents. Poseidon is a friendly tomcat with a calm and rather reserved nature. He approaches new people and situations cautiously at first, but with some patience he shows his gentle and lovable side. He enjoys a quiet environment and values people who give him the time to build trust. Poseidon has health challenges: due to pelvic problems, he needs special attention and regular veterinary check-ups so that his state of health can continue to be well monitored. Good medical care and loving care are particularly important for his well-being. That's why Poseidon is looking for loving foster parents who want to support him on his journey. With a sponsorship, you help cover the costs of his veterinary care and support, enabling him to receive the best possible care. In this way, you give this special cat the security and support he needs to enjoy his daily life as much as possible. With his friendly and gentle nature, Poseidon is looking forward to people who accompany him and help him continue to be well cared for. If you would like to support Poseidon, we are happy about sponsors who financially support the little mouse. 01.07.2026 (kw)

Poseidon kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun sucht der freundliche Maunzieur Pat*innen. Poseidon ist ein freundlicher Kater mit einem ruhigen und eher zurückhaltenden Wesen. Neuen Menschen und Situationen begegnet er zunächst vorsichtig, doch mit etwas Geduld zeigt er seine sanfte und liebenswerte Seite. Er genießt eine ruhige Umgebung und schätzt Menschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen. Poseidon hat gesundheitliche Herausforderungen zu meistern: Aufgrund einer Becken- und Unterschenkelfraktur, welche mit Implantaten stabilisiert worden sind, benötigt er besondere Aufmerksamkeit und regelmäßige tierärztliche Kontrollen, damit sein Gesundheitszustand weiterhin gut überwacht werden kann. Eine gute medizinische Versorgung und liebevolle Pflege sind für sein Wohlbefinden besonders wichtig. Zudem bekommt er aktuell Physiotherapie zur Unterstützung des Genesungsprozesses. Deshalb sucht Poseidon liebevolle Pat*innen, die ihn auf seinem Weg unterstützen möchten. Mit einer Patenschaft helfen Sie dabei, die Kosten für seine tierärztliche Betreuung und Versorgung zu tragen und ermöglichen ihm die bestmögliche Pflege. So schenken Sie diesem besonderen Kater die Sicherheit und Unterstützung, die er braucht, um seinen Alltag möglichst unbeschwert genießen zu können. Mit seiner freundlichen und sanften Art freut sich Poseidon über Menschen, die ihn begleiten und ihm helfen, auch weiterhin gut versorgt zu sein. Wenn sie Poseidon unterstützen möchten, freuen wir uns über Pat*innen, die die kleine Maus finanziell unterstützen. 01.07.2026 (kw)

About Poseidon

What life with Poseidon looks like

Poseidon is a adult cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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.
