Male · Kitten · 5 months

Dornröschen, Shrek, Snow White & Cinderella - four little siblings looking for their home 🐾 Our four siblings are still very shy and need some time to gain trust. In their new family, they want to arrive and learn in peace that people also mean a lot of love and security. Since the four are very attached to each other and the company of a familiar companion gives them security, we would like to place them in pairs. Together they can settle in, play, cuddle and become bolder step by step. For our little fairy tale characters, we are looking for patient people who give them the time they need and are looking forward to watching their development. Who will give a sibling pair a loving forever home?

In ihrer neuen Familie möchten sie in Ruhe ankommen und lernen dürfen, dass Menschen auch ganz viel Liebe und Sicherheit bedeuten. Da die vier sehr aneinander hängen und ihnen die Gesellschaft eines vertrauten Artgenossen Sicherheit gibt, möchten wir sie am liebsten paarweise vermitteln. Gemeinsam können sie sich einleben, spielen, kuscheln und Schritt für Schritt mutiger werden. Für unsere kleinen Märchenfiguren suchen wir geduldige Menschen, die ihnen die nötige Zeit geben und sich darauf freuen, ihre Entwicklung mitzuerleben. Wer schenkt einem Geschwisterpärchen ein liebevolles Für-immer-Zuhause?

About Shrek

What life with Shrek looks like

Shrek is a kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Ahlen in Ahlen.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Shrek, answered.

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