Adopt Yildiz

European Shorthair · Male

Yildiz is a proud, shy tomcat who can't cope with people. We are looking for something other than a typical couch spot for him, but rather a safe living environment with regular food - for example on a farm, riding stable or large property. Yildiz wants to decide himself how close he comes, and will feel most comfortable where he can simply be a cat: free, self-determined and without pressure.

Read original (de)

Yildiz ist ein stolzer, scheuer Kater, der mit Menschen nichts anfangen kann. Für ihn suchen wir keinen typischen Sofaplatz, sondern einen sicheren Lebensraum mit regelmäßigem Futter – zum Beispiel auf einem Bauernhof, Reiterhof oder großen Grundstück. Yildiz möchte selbst entscheiden, wie nah er kommt, und wird sich dort am wohlsten fühlen, wo er einfach Katze sein darf: frei, selbstbestimmt und ohne Zwang.

About Yildiz

What life with Yildiz looks like

Yildiz is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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 Yildiz, answered.

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