Samu

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Samu (approx. 1-2 years) is a young tomcat with a very sweet and gentle nature. Initially, he is a bit shy and reserved - but once he has gained trust and settled in, his wonderful character comes to the fore. He is very people-oriented, enjoys closeness and is happy with attention. Once Samu has taken someone into his heart, he shows himself to be very affectionate. He is a bit cautious around other cats. He is especially wary of larger tomcats and needs time and security. However, he can get along well with a friendly cat partner. Samu is looking for people who give him the time he needs to settle in and build trust. Those who give him this chance will be rewarded with a particularly charming tomcat. He is placed with a contract and deposit through the Ibbenbüren and Surroundings Animal Welfare Society. If you are interested, please contact Silvia at .

Samu (ca. 1-2 Jahre) ist ein junger Kater mit einem ganz lieben, sanften Wesen. Anfangs zeigt er sich etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend – doch wenn er erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst und sich eingelebt hat, kommt sein wundervoller Charakter zum Vorschein. Er ist sehr menschenbezogen, genießt die Nähe und freut sich über Aufmerksamkeit. Hat Samu jemanden erst in sein Herz geschlossen, zeigt er sich sehr anhänglich. Bei anderen Katzen ist Samu etwas vorsichtig. Vor allem vor größeren Katern hat er Respekt und braucht hier Zeit und Sicherheit. Mit einem passenden, freundlichen Katzenpartner kann er sich aber gut arrangieren. Samu sucht Menschen, die ihm die nötige Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wer ihm diese Chance gibt, wird mit einem ganz besonders bezaubernden Kater belohnt. wird mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr über den Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren und Umgebung e. V. vermittelt. Bei Interesse meldet euch gerne bei Silvia unter .

About Samu

What life with Samu looks like

Samu is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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 Samu, answered.

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