Shadow

Male · Kitten

Shadow came to the shelter with two other kittens. Of these three, Shadow appears to be the most uncertain. He seems to have had no initial contact with humans. At the shelter, Shadow shows himself to be a very curious little fellow and friendly towards people. However, he does not want to be touched directly. He gets along well with his own kind. This curious furball cannot do without outdoor time in his new home. He wants to be able to go on beautiful adventure tours.

Shadow kam mit zwei weiteren Kätzchen ins Tierheim. Von diesen dreien zeigt Shadow sich als der Unsicherste. Scheinbar hat er den anfänglichen Kontakt zu Menschen nicht gehabt. Im Tierheim zeigt Shadow sich als ein sehr neugieriges Kerlchen und Menschen gegenüber freundlich. Direkt angefasst werden, das möchte er jedoch nicht. Mit Artgenossen kommt er gut zurecht. Auf Freilauf in seinem neuen Zuhause kann diese neugierige Samtpfote nicht verzichten. Er möchte schöne Abenteuertouren unternehmen können.

About Shadow

What life with Shadow looks like

Shadow is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Münster in Münster.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shadow, answered.

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