San

Maine Coon · Male

San kam als verletzter Fundkater zu uns. Eine große Wunde an seinem Hals machte uns bei seiner Ankunft große Sorgen. Hoffnungsvoll und in enger Begleitung unserer Tierärztin haben wir ihn über mehrere Wochen behandelt und aufgepäppelt. Doch damit nicht genug: Auch sein Fell war stark verfilzt und musste geschoren werden. Deshalb trägt der stattliche Herr aktuell noch einen etwas kürzeren Haarschnitt, als eigentlich geplant – aber das wird natürlich wieder nachwachsen. San zeigt sich bei uns als liebevoller und verschmuster Kater, der die Nähe zu Menschen sehr genießt. Auch zu anderen Tieren sucht er den Kontakt und scheint ihre Gesellschaft zu mögen. Für San wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem er nach seiner schweren Zeit endlich ankommen und sein Leben genießen darf. Gut vorstellen können wir ihn uns auch als Zweitkatze bei einem passenden Artgenossen. San hat so viel Liebe zu geben – jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch sein ganz eigenes Zuhause.

About San

What life with San looks like

San is a large adult maine coon cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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 San, answered.

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