Tarie

European Shorthair · Male

Tarie came to us because he attacked his owner. However, with us, he shows a completely different side: he is friendly, people-friendly, playful, and very cuddly. He is a real good-mood tomcat who enjoys the company of humans and likes to provide entertainment. A thyroid gland overfunction was diagnosed in him, which he is already being medicated for at the animal shelter. The treatment should be reliably continued in his new home. Additionally, Tarie is allowed to still lose a little weight so that he feels comfortable all around and can still be very old. He will be rehomed as a single cat with a free roam. This cat needs outdoor access.

Tarie kam zu uns, weil er seine Halterin attackiert hat. Bei uns zeigt er sich jedoch ganz anders: freundlich, menschenoffen, verspielt und sehr verschmust. Er ist ein echter Gute-Laune-Kater, der die Nähe zu Menschen genießt und gern für Unterhaltung sorgt. Bei ihm wurde eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion festgestellt, auf die er im Tierheim bereits gut medikamentös eingestellt wurde. Die Behandlung sollte im neuen Zuhause zuverlässig weitergeführt werden. Außerdem darf Tarie gerne noch ein wenig abspecken, damit er sich rundum wohlfühlt und noch gaaanz alt wird. Er wird als Einzelkatze mit Freigang vermittelt.

About Tarie

What life with Tarie looks like

Tarie is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Tarie, answered.

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