Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Breed: European Shorthair Color: Tabby-White Gender: male Neutered: yes Born approximately: 07.2024 Suitable as a second cat Available at the animal shelter since: 29.07.2024 Herbert - a gentle tomcat looking for peace and trust Herbert is a kind, somewhat shy tomcat who came to us at the animal shelter last year together with his partner Michel and Hermann as a stray cat. After a longer period of illness, he has fully recovered and is now fit and healthy, ready to move into his new home. Patiently, Herbert is waiting for people who will give him security, peace, and affection. Herbert is a cautious, sensitive tomcat who needs time to build trust. With calmness and patience, he quickly shows his loving side. Compared to Hermann, Herbert is somewhat braver, but remains always careful and reserved in his interactions. Like his partner, Herbert has narrow tear ducts, which causes his eyes to sometimes water. This can be easily controlled with regular, gentle cleaning using a damp cloth and soothing drops. For Herbert, we are hoping for a quiet home without small children, where he can arrive without stress and has the time to settle in. After acclimating, he would like to explore nature and discover the world outside as an outdoor cat - with a secure retreat that he can return to anytime. Whoever adopts Herbert gives a sensitive tomcat patience, trust, and love - and gains a loyal, gentle companion for life.

About Herbert

What life with Herbert looks like

Herbert is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Rosenheim in Rosenheim.

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 Herbert, answered.

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