I am SALEM, and I am looking for a sofa spot with heart. Story: Salem was found in front of a kiosk, where he was begging for food – which, unfortunately, the people there did not appreciate. Luckily, the little fellow was spotted by the son of our animal rescuer and taken in on the spot. This is how Salem came to safety, and he is now waiting to move into a loving home.

About SALEM

What life with SALEM looks like

SALEM is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Herzenstiere Europa e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting SALEM, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SALEM?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Herzenstiere Europa e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SALEM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SALEM if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Herzenstiere Europa e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is SALEM 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 SALEM 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 Herzenstiere Europa e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know SALEM 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.
