How do I contact the shelter about Rocket?

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

Can I adopt Rocket if I live in another country?

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

Rocket

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 10 months

His name is Rocket. He is 10 months old and not yet neutered. He has already been vaccinated and the next vaccination should follow within the next four weeks. When his surrender happened a few days ago, we were told that he was in perfect health, except for having a kitten cold. He tested positive for Felv. We have another tomcat who does not have this virus, and we therefore need to keep the two of them separated for now. I have a cookie-shaped spot on my back and a spot on my ear that looks like a heart with a lot of imagination. I am very playful, curious, and will sometimes steal food from the plate if you’re not looking. I still need to learn a few things, like that the toilet is not for drinking or that the wall is not for scratching. I am looking for a new human friend who will engage with me or, if necessary, already has a Felv-positive cat to play with. It is important to us that he finds a wonderful home where he is loved exactly as he is, including his little quirks. We live in Geldern and are ready for the meeting. You can reach me via the email address: michelle-s1997@web.

Sein Name ist Rocket. Er ist 10 Monate alt und noch nicht kastriert. Wurde schon einmal geimpft und die nächste Impfung müsste in den nächsten 4 Wochen folgen. Als vor ein paar Tagen seine Abgabe war wurde uns gesagt das er kern gesund sei nur das er als kitten katzenschnupfen hatte. Er wurde positiv auf Felv getestet. Wir haben einen anderen Kater der diesen Virus nicht hat und wir die beiden daher getrennt aktuell halten müssen. Habe einen Keksförmigen Fleck auf meinen Rücken und einen Fleck am Ohr der mit viel Phantasie aussieht wie ein Herzchen. Bin sehr verspielt, neugierig und klaue gerne mal essen vom Teller wenn man nicht richtig hinschaut. Muss noch ein paar Dinge lernen wie zum Beispiel das eine Toilette nicht zum Trinken da ist oder die Wand keine kratzpappe ist. Suche einen neuen Menschlichen Freund der sich mit mir beschäftigt oder gegebenenfalls schon eine felv positive Katze hat mit dem ich spielen kann. Uns ist es wichtig das er ein tolles Zuhause findet wo man ihn genau so liebt und ihn mit seinen kleinen Macken lieben lernt. Wohnen in Geldern und wären bereit fürs Kennenlernen. Wo sie mich erreichen ist über die Email Adresse: michelle-s1997@ web.de oder telefonisch unter

About Rocket

What life with Rocket looks like

Rocket is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Wesel in Wesel.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
