Adopt Tifón

European Shorthair · Male

Tifón is estimated to be a bit older, possibly around 9 years or more. The poor guy has been through a lot. He was found by our Spanish partners along with many other cats in an abandoned house, where the poor animals had to live under the worst conditions. Fortunately, they were discovered and rescued, giving them all a chance at a better life full of affection and love. This dear tomcat is very playful and loves to play with other cats the most. At first, he is reserved, but once he gains trust, he will enjoy being petted and pampered. In his future cat home, there should definitely be some playmates of about the same age. He would also be happy to bring one of his friends, for example, Negrita. Upon arrival, Tifón will be dewormed, vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Additionally, he will be tested for FiV and FeLV. Who will give Tifón a loving future?

Tifón wird schon etwas älter geschätzt. Ab 9 Jahre ist alles offen. Der arme Kerl hat schon viel durchgemacht. Er wurde von unseren spanischen Partnern gemeinsam mit vielen anderen Katzen in einem verwahrlosten Haus aufgefunden. Dort haben die armen Tiere unter schlimmsten Bedingungen leben müssen. Doch zum Glück wurden sie dort entdeckt und gerettet, so dass sie nun alle die Chance auf ein besseres Leben mit Zuwendung und Liebe haben. Der liebe Kater ist sehr verspielt, mit anderen Katzen spielt er am liebsten. Anfangs ist er zurückhaltend, wenn er Vertrauen gefasst hast, wird er sich aber auch gerne streicheln und verwöhnen lassen. Im zukünftigen Katzenhome sollten unbedingt etwa gleichaltrige Spielkameraden vorhanden sein. Er kann aber auch gerne einen seiner Freunde mitbringen, bspw. Negrita. Bei Einreise wird Tifón entwurmt, geimpft, kastriert und gechippt sein. Außerdem wird er noch auf FiV und FeLV getestet. Wer schenkt Tifón eine liebevolle Zukunft?

About Tifón

What life with Tifón looks like

Tifón is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy 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 Tifón, answered.

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