How do I contact the shelter about Sirius?

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

Can I adopt Sirius if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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 Sirius 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 Sirius 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sirius 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 Sirius

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 7 months

Location: Crete, Greece Age: born October 2025 Gender: Male Personality: social, loving, friendly towards fellow animals and humans !no solitary living! Specialties: one-eyed Hello dear humans! I am Sirius, a little tomcat looking for happiness. Currently, I am living in a foster home on Crete in Greece. As you can see, there are many more cats here, and I like them all and therefore do not want to be alone. If you don't have a cat at home yet, I could bring someone from here with me. You can discuss all of this with my coordinator. My eyes look different, as you likely noticed. Due to a virus, they are almost blind, but I can still recognize some light and shadow. It is still being checked whether I can keep one eye, the other will most likely need to be operated on to avoid infection risks. These treatments will be carried out on-site before adoption. Due to my handicap, it is a blessing that I was found. That is why I should not be given free access in my new home. However, a secure balcony or window seat will surely please me. See you soon! Your Sirius *The organization acts as a coordination aid for Greek stray cats. It supports communication between adopters and animal welfare workers on-site.*

Standort: Kreta, Griechenland Alter: geb. Oktober 2025 Geschlecht: Männlich Charakter: sozial, lieb, freundlich zu Artgenossen und Menschen !keine Einzelhaltung! Besonderheiten: seheingeschränkt Hallo ihr lieben Menschen! Ich bin Sirius, ein kleiner Kater auf der Suche nach dem Glück. Aktuell lebe ich in einer Pflegestelle auf Kreta in Griechenland. Hier befinden sich noch mehr Katzen wie ihr seht, ich mag sie alle gern und möchte deshalb keinesfalls allein gehalten werden. Wenn du noch keine Katze bei dir hast kann ich sicher jemanden von hier mitbringen. Das kannst du alles mit meiner Vermittlerin besprechen. Meine Augen sehen anders aus, das ist dir sicherlich aufgefallen. Durch einen Virus sind sie fast blind, doch etwas Licht und Schatten kann ich erkennen. Es wird noch geprüft ob ich das eine Auge behalten kann, das andere muss vermutlich operiert werden, da es ein Infektionsrisiko birgt die Augenhöhle so zu lassen. Diese Behandlungen werden vor der Adoption noch hier vor Ort vorgenommen. Aufgrund meines Handicaps ist es ein Glück, dass ich gefunden wurde. Deshalb soll ich auch keinen Freigang im neuen Zuhause bekommen. Ein sicherer Balkon oder Fensterplatz wird mir aber bestimmt gefallen. Bis bald! Dein Sirius *Der Verein agiert bei den griechischen Fellnasen als Vermittlungshilfe. Er unterstützt die Kommunikation zwischen Adoptant*in und Tierschützer*in vor Ort.*

About Sirius

What life with Sirius looks like

Sirius is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
