Zazou

European Shorthair · Unknown

Zazou is a loving and laid-back cat who is comfortable around people, cozy, and gets along well with other cats and dogs. He came to the shelter due to circumstances and is currently living with young cat Orlando, with whom he gets along well. He could move in with him or as a second cat to a cat who wants company. Zazou also gets along well with dogs. The loving cat would also benefit from outdoor access once he has settled in, as he is currently missing exercise and is starting to round out...

verschmust und menschbezogen, gemütlich, verträglich mit anderen Katzen und Hunden - weiter unten lesen Sie mehr Über Zazou Der liebe und gemütliche Kater Zazou kam umständehalber ins Tierheim. Hier sitzt er mit dem jungen Kater Orlando zusammen, mit dem er sich gut versteht. Er könnte also mit ihm zusammen ausziehen oder aber auch als Zweitkater zu einem Kater ziehen, der sich Gesellschaft wünscht. Auch mit Hunden kommt Zazou gut aus. Freigang sollte der liebe Kater auch wieder bekommen, nachdem er sich eingewöhnt hat, denn sonst wird der kleine Kerl noch rundlicher… man sieht schon, dass ihm die Bewegung fehlt!

About Zazou

What life with Zazou looks like

Zazou is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Zazou, answered.

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