Rabe

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Rabe wurde vor einem halben Jahr völlig abgemagert an einer Futterstelle gefunden. Bei uns bekam er endlich ausreichend Futter, Sicherheit und ganz viel Liebe. Leider zeigte sich schnell, dass er bei Stress körperliche Symptome entwickelt: Er wedelt auffällig mit dem Schwanz und manchmal sacken ihm die Beinchen auch etwas weg. Viele Untersuchungen (auch ein MRT) später wissen wir noch immer nicht genau, was dahintersteckt. Epilepsie und ein Tumor konnten jedoch ausgeschlossen werden!In seiner Pflegestelle fühlt Rabe sich so wohl, dass er dort kaum Symptome zeigt. Er liebt seine Ersatzfamilie sehr, aber nun braucht er endlich ein richtiges Für-immer-Zuhause. Seine neuen Menschen sollten wissen: Der Umzug wird für Rabe zunächst stressig sein und seine Symptome können anfangs wieder stärker werden, aber das hält Rabe von nichts ab! Er braucht Zeit, Geduld und Menschen, die diesen Weg mit ihm gemeinsam gehen. Wer Rabe diese Chance gibt, bekommt einen witzigen, verspielten, cleveren und unglaublich verschmusten Kerl. Rabe ist kein “Nebenbei” Kater. Er möchte beschäftigt werden und hätte bestimmt auch großen Spaß an Clickertraining!Ideal wäre eine Familie, die gerne Zeit mit ihm verbringen, vielleicht teilweise im Homeoffice arbeiten und sich über einen kleinen vierbeinigen Kollegen freuen würde. Wenn dann noch ein katzensicherer Balkon vorhanden ist, wäre das Traumzuhause perfekt. Rabe wird nur als Einzelkater in Wohnungshaltung vermittelt.

About Rabe

What life with Rabe looks like

Rabe is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Rabe, answered.

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