How do I contact the shelter about Yumos?

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

Can I adopt Yumos if I live in another country?

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

Yumos

British Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Yumos is a quiet, gentle British Shorthair cat, born on 07.03.2022. She is female, vaccinated, and neutered and currently lives as a strictly indoor cat without access to the outdoors. Typical for her breed, she is more relaxed, reserved, and pleasantly unobtrusive. Yumos is a loner and does not want to share her home with other cats. She gets along well with children, provided it is quiet and respectful. Yumos has never had access to the outdoors. She prefers a relaxed environment, consistent routines, and people who appreciate her gentle nature. Since over a year ago, Yumos has suffered from epilepsy, but is well managed with medication. She takes Phenoleptil tablets twice daily (morning and evening), with which she lives a stable life. A certain level of responsibility and reliability in everyday life is therefore important – for which she expresses her gratitude with gentleness and calmness. The surrender was a difficult decision for the family and was not a spontaneous choice. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to give Yumos the attention, peace, and structure she needs and deserves. Therefore, a suitable, loving home is now being sought. A quiet household is desired, ideally with people who have experience with cats or are willing to take on the responsibility for her needs. Contact:

Yumos ist eine ruhige, sanfte Britisch-Kurzhaar-Katze, geboren am 07.03.2022. Sie ist weiblich,geimpft und kastriert und lebt aktuell als reine Wohnungskatze ohne Freigang. Typisch für ihre Rasse ist sie eher entspannt, zurückhaltend und angenehm unaufdringlich. Yumos ist eine Einzelgängerin und möchte ihr Zuhause nicht mit anderen Katzen teilen.Mit Kindern kommt sie gut zurecht, solange es ruhig und respektvoll zugeht.Yumos kennt keinen Freigang. Sie mag eine entspannte Umgebung, feste Abläufe und Menschen, die ihre leise Art zu schätzen wissen. Seit über einem Jahr leidet Yumos an Epilepsie, ist jedoch medikamentös gut eingestellt.Sie bekommt zweimal täglich (morgens und abends) Phenoleptil-Tabletten, mit denen sie stabil lebt.Eine gewisse Verantwortung und Zuverlässigkeit im Alltag sind daher wichtig – dafür bedankt sie sich mit Sanftheit und Ruhe. Die Abgabe fällt der Familie sehr schwer und war keine spontane Entscheidung. Leider ist es zeitlich nicht mehr möglich, Yumos die Aufmerksamkeit, Ruhe und Struktur zu geben, die sie braucht und verdient. Daher wird nun schweren Herzens ein passendes,liebevolles Zuhause für sie gesucht. Gesucht wird ein ruhiger Haushalt, idealerweise mit Menschen, die Erfahrung mit Katzen haben oder bereit sind, sich verantwortungsvoll auf ihre Bedürfnisse einzulassen. Kontakt:Zeynep Savran📧 📞

About Yumos

What life with Yumos looks like

Yumos is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Gelsenkirchen in Gelsenkirchen.

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.
