Räuber (Freigänger)

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

Räuber came to us as a found kitten and is with his approximately 15 years a real character. A blood test revealed a thyroid dysfunction, which is why he takes his medication twice a day—although he does, he adjusts well and manages just fine in everyday life. His fur has also become shinier again, and the sturdy tomcat has even put on some weight. The nice part was that his original owners got in touch shortly after. They can cover the ongoing costs (one has to reckon with about 70€ per month for the medication).

Räuber kam als Fundkater zu uns und ist mit seinen etwa 15 Jahren ein echter Charakterkopf. Eine Blutuntersuchung ergab eine Schilddrüsenfehlfunktion, weshalb er zweimal täglich seine Medikamente bekommt – damit ist er aber gut eingestellt und kommt im Alltag prima zurecht. Auch sein Fell ist wieder glänzender geworden und der stattliche Kater hat auch an Gewicht zugelegt. Das Schöne war, dass sich seine ursprünglichen Besitzer zeitnah gemeldet haben. Sie konnten die laufenden Kosten (man muss etwa 70€ im Monat für die Medikamente rechnen) jedoch nicht tragen und haben ihn daher schweren Herzens zur

About Räuber (Freigänger)

What life with Räuber (Freigänger) looks like

Räuber (Freigänger) is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Helenenhof-Hürth/Tierschutzverein in Hürth.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Räuber (Freigänger), answered.

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