Troy

Male · Adult · 5 years

Troy ist ein wunderschöner schwarzer Kater, der in einem desolaten Zustand gefunden wurde: er war sehr erkältet, hatte eine Verletzung am Hals und am linken Auge und entzündete Haut. Nach über 2 Monaten, ist Troy genesen, aber in seinem Quarantänezimmer (er muss dort noch sein, weil unser Katzenhaus voll belegt ist) sehr unglücklich. Unser schöner Kater zieht sich mehr und mehr zurück und lässt sich bislang auch noch nicht streicheln. Wir wünschen uns für Troy ein liebevolles und geduldiges Zuhause, in dem es ruhig zugeht und er nicht bedrängt wird. Er soll von selber auf seine neue Familie zugehen können. Troy wird wahrscheinlich mit Wohnungshaltung zufrieden sein, ein eingenetzter Balkon oder ausbruchsicherer Garten darf aber gerne vorhanden sein. Seine neuen Menschen sollten nicht ganztags berufstätig sein, damit er nicht zu lange alleine ist. Ob Troy sich mit Artgenossen versteht, können wir momentan leider noch nicht sagen. Auch sein Alter ist geschätzt, er könnte auch etwas älter sein. Möchten Sie Troy glücklich machen und ihm ein schönes Zuhause schenken?

About Troy

What life with Troy looks like

Troy is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bocholt in Bocholt.

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 Troy, answered.

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