Timber

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Timber & Toni – zwei schüchterne Kater suchen ihr Zuhause 🐾 Timber und Toni sind zwei noch sehr scheue Kater, die den Kontakt zu Menschen erst langsam kennenlernen müssen. Sie sind dabei aber neugierig und beobachten genau, was um sie herum passiert. Toni zeigt bereits, dass in ihm ein kleiner Entdecker steckt: Wenn man mit im Raum ist, spielt er und schaut sich interessiert alles an. Für Streicheleinheiten ist er allerdings noch nicht bereit. Beide brauchen daher Menschen, die ihnen Zeit geben und keinen verschmusten Sofakater erwarten. Mit anderen Katzen sind sie verträglich. Daher können wir uns gut vorstellen, dass sie als Partner zu einer bereits vorhandenen Katze ziehen. Auch ein gemeinsamer Umzug wäre natürlich schön. Alternativ kommt für die beiden auch ein geeigneter Platz als Hofkatzen infrage.

About Timber

What life with Timber looks like

Timber is a small puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Ahlen in Ahlen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Timber, answered.

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