How do I contact the shelter about Yockel?

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

Can I adopt Yockel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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 Yockel 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 Yockel 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 Tecklenburger Land early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yockel 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.

Adopt Yockel

Male · Young · 2 years

Reserved tomcat seeks understanding home...... Ts, that sounds negative again. Reserved, understanding…while we are all very positive. Yes, all 15. Yes, you read that right. We are a total of 15 cats being housed. Two become more quickly…well, that’s how it is. Like my colleagues, I was collected using a live trap and brought to the animal shelter Tecklenburger Land. What then happened…a cheeky move. Worm treatment, vaccination, neutering…who wants that…yet we’re supposed to be grateful…no, not with me. They should be grateful that we all cooperate so well here. And now, just for you to write down: In my new home, either a cat must already be present, or, which is much more sensible, I am allowed to choose which of our team I bring along. You know: Two is less lonely than one. And you don’t have to constantly try to pamper us. We need fur to snuggle. You can’t compete with that. Food, snuggle cave, and so on, outdoor access after settling in, and lots of peace and patience. But you know about cats (or at least you think you do) and know that. All noted….How nice. We’ll see…Animal placements are currently only happening with appointments. We therefore ask you to contact us by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email in advance if you are interested in one of our animals.

Zurückhaltender Kater sucht verständnisvolles zuhause...... Ts, das klingt schon wieder so negativ. Zurückhaltend, verständnisvoll……Dabei sind wie alle sehr positiv. Ja, alle 15. Ja, Sie haben richtig gelesen. Wir sind insgesamt 15 Katzen, die an einer Unterkunft gefüttert wurden. Da wird aus 2 schnell mehr….Nun ja, es ist wie es ist. Wie meine Kollegen auch wurde ich mittels Lebendfalle eingesammelt und in das Tierheim Tecklenburger Land gebracht. Was dann kam….eine Frechheit. Wurmkur, Impfung, Kastration…..wer will so was…..und dann soll Mann auch noch dankbar sein…..ne, nicht mit mir. Die sollen dankbar sein, daß wir hier alle so gut mitmachen. Und jetzt extra für Sie zum mitschreiben: In meinem neuen zuhause muss entweder schon eine Katze vorhanden sein, oder, was viel sinnvoller ist, ich darf mir aussuchen, wen von unserer Truppe ich mitbringe. Sie wissen schon: Zu zweit ist Mann weniger allein. Und Sie müssen nicht ständig versuchen uns zu betüdeln. Wir brauchen Fell zum ankuscheln. Da können Sie eh nicht mithalten. Futter, Kuschelhöhle und Co, Freigang nach Eingewöhnung und viel Ruhe und Geduld. Aber Sie haben ja Ahnung von Katzen (oder glauben es zumindest) und wissen das. Alles notiert….Wie schön. Wir werden ja sehen…… Tiervermittlungen finden zurzeit nur mit Termin statt. Wir bitten Sie daher, sich bei Interesse an einem unserer Tiere vorab telefonisch unter 05481 / 4146 oder per E-Mail an mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Yockel

What life with Yockel looks like

Yockel is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

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.
