Shio

Mixed Breed · Female

As a second cat, or together with Niko Shio, she came to us as a stray. We know nothing about her past. She is a very talkative cat who loves to be close to people. After an adjustment period, she wants to either go outside with another cat of similar age or with Niko.

Verträglichkeit: als Zweitkatze, oder zusammen mit Niko Shio kam als Fundkatze zu uns. Über ihre Vorgeschichte ist uns nichts bekannt. Sie ist eine sehr gesprächige Katze, die sehr gerne nah beim Menschen ist. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit möchte sie entweder mit einer weiteren etwa gleichaltrigen Katze oder zusammen mit Niko den Freigang unsicher machen.

About Shio

What life with Shio looks like

Shio is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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 Shio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shio?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shio if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Shio 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 Shio 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 und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shio 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.
