Adopt Purzel

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Gender: male Born on: ca. 2014 Breed: EKH At the animal shelter since: 13.03.26 Care: Free roam Purzel was dropped off at our shelter because the house he lived in was going to be torn down. He had lived more like a barn cat and couldn't move with the family. He is still quite shy around people. He would definitely appreciate a new barn spot where he can settle in. Our cats suitable for apartment living are only placed with existing partner cats or with another buddy. Outdoor cats are only placed in quiet residential areas. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Geschlecht: männlich Geboren am: ca. 2014 Rasse: EKH Im Tierheim seit: 13.03.26 Haltung: Freigang Purzel wurde bei uns abgegeben, da das Haus in dem er lebte abgerissen werden sollte. Er hat da eher als Hofkater gelebt und konnte somit nicht mit umziehen. Menschen gegenüber ist er noch recht scheu. Er würde sich über eine neue Hofstelle an der er umsogt wird sicher freuen.In Wohnungshaltung vermitteln wir unsere Katzen nur zu bereits vorhandenen Partnertieren oder mit einem weiteren Kumpel. Freigänger Katzen vermitteln wir nur in ruhige Wohngegenden.

About Purzel

What life with Purzel looks like

Purzel is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Lübbecke in Lübbecke.

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 Purzel, answered.

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