Tiger

European Shorthair · Male

Tiger (ca. Jahrgang 2024) wurde als wilder Streuner eingefangen und kennt den Menschen kaum. Er sucht daher keinen Schmuseplatz, sondern eine Anstellung als Mäusefänger. Ideal wäre ein Bauernhof, Reiterhof oder ein großes Grundstück bei Menschen, die eine Katze möchten, die überwiegend draußen lebt. Wichtig sind eine verkehrsberuhigte Umgebung sowie die Möglichkeit, ihn nach dem Umzug zunächst einige Wochen sicher einzugewöhnen. Anschließend sollte ihm dauerhaft ein geschützter Unterschlupf und eine zuverlässige Futterstelle zur Verfügung stehen. Wer diesem scheuen Kater ein sicheres Zuhause geben und gleichzeitig einen fleißigen Mäusefänger gewinnen möchte, darf sich gerne melden. Tiger (ca.

About Tiger

What life with Tiger looks like

Tiger is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Witten in Witten.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tiger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tiger?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Witten handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tiger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tiger if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Witten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tiger 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 Tiger 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 Witten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tiger 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.
