Bagheera

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

Bagheera was caught along with other cats. They were living in a residential area and reproduced without anyone taking responsibility. The large black tomcat enjoys going out with his caregivers and being petted. He needs a quiet home with a housemate of the same species. He gets along with both male and female cats. We do not want to place him as a single cat. Bagheera should receive outdoor access after settling in.

DE·Show original

Bagheera wurde zusammen mit weiteren Katzen eingefangen. Sie hielten sich in einer Wohngegend auf und vermehrten sich, ohne dass sich jemand zuständig fühlte. Der große schwarze Kater kommt gerne bei Bezugspersonen raus und lässt sich streicheln. Er benötigt ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Artgenosse im Haushalt. Er verträgt sich mit Katern sowie Katzen. Als Einzelkatze möchten wir ihn nicht vermitteln. Bagheera sollte nach Eingewöhnung Freigang erhalten.

About Bagheera

What life with Bagheera looks like

Bagheera is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

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 Bagheera, answered.

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