How do I contact the shelter about René?

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

Can I adopt René if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Göppingen 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 René 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 René 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 Göppingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know René 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.

Likely adopted

René

Mixed Breed · Male

European Shorthair - EKH * approx. 05/2026 - black and white - male Indoor with secured balcony or possibly outdoor access Compatible with other cats Other: Currently in foster care and still undergoing medical treatment, not yet available for adoption at the shelter since: 08/2026 Little René was abandoned on a broken moving box above the shelter parking lot and fortunately discovered by one of our walkers there. The little one couldn't stand up, had high fever, severely elevated inflammation values and neurological abnormalities (head tremors), as he must have suffered a head trauma from a blow to the head (by accident/fall or intentionally). Currently, René is still in veterinary care and is housed in a foster care facility for better observation. He is already doing much better and we very much hope he will be completely healthy again. It will probably take a bit longer until that happens and the little one is not available for adoption yet.

Europäisch Kurzhaar – EKH * ca. 05/2026 – schwarz-weiß – männlich Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon oder evtl. Freigänger Verträglich mit Artgenossen Sonstiges: Momentan auf Pflegeplatz und noch in medizinischer Behandlung, noch nicht vermittelbar im Tierheim seit: 08/2026 Der kleine René wurde oberhalb des Tierheimparkplatzes auf einem kaputten Umzugskarton ausgesetzt und glücklicherweise von einer unserer Gassigeher dort entdeckt. Der Kleine konnte nicht aufstehen, hatte hohes Fieber, stark erhöhte Entzündungswerte und neurologische Auffälligkeiten (Kopfzittern), da er ein Kopf-Trauma durch einen Schlag auf den Kopf (durch Unfall/Sturz oder mutwillig) erlitten haben muss. Aktuell ist René noch in tierärztlicher Behandlung und zur besseren Beobachtung auf einem Pflegeplatz untergebracht. Es geht ihm schon deutlich besser und wir hoffen sehr, dass er wieder ganz gesund wird. Bis das der Fall ist, wird es vermutlich noch ein bisschen dauern und so lange steht der Kleine noch nicht zur

About René

What life with René looks like

René is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Göppingen in Göppingen.

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.
