Yannik

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 7 months

Yannik, cat ID: 1285, at the shelter since 02.06.2026. Yannik is a very shy and reserved cat who currently approaches people and new situations with great caution. At the moment, Yannik does not particularly enjoy human contact and shows his uncertainty through hissing. He needs a lot of time, peace, and patience to gain trust and open up to humans. Those willing to give him this time and not pressure him can look forward to gradually gaining his trust. Yannik needs to learn at his own pace that human closeness can also be positive. Yannik is well socialized with other cats and is therefore very suitable as a second cat. A companion cat gives him additional security. We are looking for a quiet home for Yannik with people who understand his initial shyness and give him the necessary time to settle in. Unfortunately, his background is unclear, so it is assumed that Yannik has lived as an indoor cat. Nevertheless, his new home must provide the possibility to allow him outdoor access after a suitable adjustment period, if he requests it. Yannik tested positive for feline calicivirus. This is a common virus in cats, which is transmitted primarily through direct contact. An infection can cause mild symptoms, among other things, under the influence of stress.

Yannik Tier-ID: 1285 Im Tierheim seit 02.06.2026 Als Zweitkatze geeignet. Hinweis zum Calicivirus: Die Katze trägt das feline Calicivirus in sich, einen weit verbreiteten Erreger des Katzenschnupfen-Komplexes. Es kann, muss aber nicht zwangsläufig, zu Symptomen wie Schnupfen, Entzündungen im Maul oder Zahnfleischproblemen führen. Mit etwas Aufmerksamkeit können betroffene Katzen ein ganz normales Katzenleben führen. Yannik ist ein sehr schüchterner und zurückhaltender Kater, der Menschen und neuen Situationen derzeit noch mit großer Vorsicht begegnet. Im Moment findet Yannik den Kontakt zum Menschen noch nicht besonders toll und zeigt seine Unsicherheit auch durch Fauchen. Er braucht noch viel Zeit, Ruhe und Geduld, um Vertrauen zu fassen und sich auf den Menschen einzulassen. Wer bereit ist, ihm diese Zeit zu geben und ihn nicht bedrängt, kann sich darauf freuen, Schritt für Schritt sein Vertrauen zu gewinnen. Yannik soll in seinem eigenen Tempo lernen dürfen, dass menschliche Nähe auch etwas Positives sein kann. Mit anderen Katzen ist Yannik gut sozialisiert und eignet sich daher sehr gut als Zweitkater. Ein Artgenosse gibt ihm zusätzlich Sicherheit. Für Yannik wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die Verständnis für seine anfängliche Zurückhaltung haben und ihm die nötige Zeit zum Ankommen geben. Da seine Vorgeschichte leider unklar ist, wird vermutet, dass Yannik bisher als Wohnungskater gelebt hat. Dennoch sollte in seinem neuen Zuhause unbedingt die Möglic

About Yannik

What life with Yannik looks like

Yannik is a large kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Yannik, answered.

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