Shrimp

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Tuna, Shrimp and Marlin came to our shelter as found kittens. From the beginning, the three were very shy and prefer to spend most of their time well hidden. A few days ago they were allowed to move into a large adoption room which they now share with five other kittens. Since the move is still quite fresh, we cannot yet assess how their behavior will develop. However, we very much hope that daily contact with their fellow felines and the quiet and loving proximity of humans will help them gradually gain trust. With some patience, the three shy kittens could soon become curious and more affectionate furry friends.

Tuna, Shrimp und Marlin kamen als Fundkitten zu uns ins Tierheim. Von Anfang an zeigten sich die drei sehr scheu und verbringen die meiste Zeit lieber gut versteckt. Vor wenigen Tagen durften sie in ein großes Vermittlungszimmer umziehen, das sie sich nun mit fünf weiteren Kitten teilen. Da der Umzug noch ganz frisch ist, können wir derzeit noch nicht einschätzen, wie sich ihr Verhalten entwickeln wird. Wir hoffen jedoch sehr, dass ihnen der tägliche Kontakt zu ihren Artgenossen sowie die ruhige und liebevolle Nähe zu Menschen dabei hilft, nach und nach Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit etwas Geduld könnten aus den drei schüchternen Kitten schon bald neugierige und zutraulichere Samtpfoten werden.

About Shrimp

What life with Shrimp looks like

Shrimp is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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 Shrimp, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shrimp?
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 Shrimp on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shrimp 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 Shrimp 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 Shrimp 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 Shrimp 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.
