Adopt Silvester

Mixed Breed · Male

Fundkater Silvester is a shy and reserved tomcat who has yet to form a close bond with humans. Therefore, he is seeking a place where he can live freely and independently. For Silvester, we wish for a home as a riding farm cat or on a farm in rural surroundings. There, he can follow his instincts and be a reliable mouser. Important for him is a protected hiding spot, regular food, and people who understand that he needs space and can make his own decisions.

Read original (de)

Fundkater Silvester ist ein scheuer und zurückhaltender Kater, der den engen Kontakt zum Menschen bisher kaum kennt. Statt eines klassischen Familienzuhause sucht er daher einen Ort, an dem er frei und selbstbestimmt leben darf. Für Silvester wünschen wir uns einen Platz als Reiterhofkater oder auf einem Hof in ländlicher Umgebung. Dort kann er seinen Instinkten nachgehen und als zuverlässiger Mäusefänger tätig sein. Wichtig sind für ihn ein geschützter Unterschlupf, regelmäßiges Futter und Menschen, die Verständnis dafür haben, dass er Abstand hält und seinen eigenen Kopf hat.

About Silvester

What life with Silvester looks like

Silvester is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

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 Silvester, answered.

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