Adopt Yukio

Mixed Breed · Male

Gender: male, neutered. Yukio came to us as a stray. We cannot say anything about his history. He is a very shy and timid tomcat who still needs to be convinced to trust humans. Children should not live in the household. Whether he needs a companion of his own kind we cannot say yet, as he has only recently moved to the adoption rooms.

Read original (de)

Geschlecht: männlich kastriert Yukio kam als Fundtier zu uns. Über seine Vorgeschichte können wir nichts sagen. Er ist ein sehr ängstlicher und schüchterner Kater, der noch überzeugt werden muss Vertrauen zum Menschen zu fassen. Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Ob er einen Artgenossen an seiner Seite braucht können wir noch nicht sagen, da er erst kürzlich in die Vermittlungsstuben gezogen ist.

About Yukio

What life with Yukio looks like

Yukio is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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 Yukio, answered.

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