How do I contact the shelter about Simon?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Simon if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hamburg 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 Simon 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 Simon 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 Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simon 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.

Adopt Simon

Norwegian Forest Cat · Male · Senior · 11 years

- loving - curious - confident - house-trained - knows no other cats I am almost rehomed. Please do not apply! (05.06.2026) tomcat Simon came to us as a precaution and now seeks a loving forever home. Upon his arrival, he was in a poor state of care, requiring urgent ear and dental treatment, which resulted in the tomcat now being toothless. His fur is now silky, and the handsome tomcat can lead a completely carefree cat life. He wishes for a home with little commotion; children or other animals are not for him. He meets the other cats curiously, but we would prefer to place him as an only cat. He does not share attentions and needs a lot of them - he gladly accepts hours of cuddles and is always around. People who are not at home much would not be a match for this cat charmer. The older gentleman appears to be very fit with us, but he should still be examined by a veterinarian regularly as he ages, to ensure this stays the case.

- lieb - neugierig - selbstbewusst - stubenrein - kennt keine anderen Katzen Ich bin schon so gut wie vermittelt. Bitte nicht mehr bewerben! (05.06.2026) Kater Simon kam als Sicherstellung zu uns und sucht nun nach einem liebevollen Für-immer-Zuhause. Bei seiner Ankunft war er in einem schlechten Pflegezustand, brauchte dringend eine Ohr- und eine Zahnbehandlung, die dazu geführt hat, dass der Kater nun zahnlos ist. Inzwischen ist sein Fell wieder seidig und der schöne Kater kann ein ganz unbeschwertes Katzenleben führen. Er wünscht sich ein Zuhause ohne viel Trubel, Kinder oder andere Tiere sind nichts für ihn. Den Katzen hier begegnet er neugierig, wir würden ihn aber bevorzugt als Einzelprinzen abgeben. Aufmerksamkeiten möchte er nicht teilen und davon braucht er viel - gerne nimmt er stundenlange Streicheleinheiten entgegen und ist auch sonst immer dabei. Menschen, die wenig Zuhause sind, wären kein Match für diesen Katzanova. Der ältere Herr scheint bei uns sehr fit zu sein, trotzdem sollte er aber altersgemäß regelmäßig tierärztlich untersucht werden, damit das auch lange so bleibt.

About Simon

What life with Simon looks like

Simon is a senior norwegian forest cat cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
