How do I contact the shelter about Tunga?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tunga on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tunga if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Minden 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 Tunga 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 Tunga 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 Minden e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tunga 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.

Tunga

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Tunga finds herself quite well, we can understand that! We are too ;-) The old lady wants a lot of human contact and loves her pets. But she is not averse to a short game either and is full of energy and fun while doing it. She usually ignores other cats and doesn't need them to be happy. But in order to be happy, she definitely wants to continue getting outdoors. She has known this for many years and misses it very much at our animal shelter! Then please send us an email with information and photos about the future care of the cat or leave a message on our answering machine. We would be happy to arrange an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible furnishing options. In a personal conversation, we will deal individually with you and the needs of the individual animal and look for the best possible human-cat constellation with you.

Tunga findet sich selbst schon ziemlich gut, das können wir verstehen! Wir sie nämlich auch ;-) Die alte Lady möchte viel Menschenkontakt und liebt ihre Streicheleinheiten. Aber auch einem kurzen Spielchen ist sie nicht abgeneigt und voll Energie und Spaß dabei. Andere Katzen ignoriert sie meist und braucht sie nicht zum glücklich sein. Aber um glücklich zu sein, möchte sie auf jeden Fall weiter Freigang bekommen. Das kennt sie seit vielen Jahren und vermisst es bei uns im Tierheim sehr! Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Tunga

What life with Tunga looks like

Tunga is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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.
