Adopt Barbos

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Description Our animal welfare workers report: Barbos is a true heartbreaker in soft rosy tones, going through the day with wonderful calm. Until recently, he lived together with eight other cats with an elderly lady who was severely ill and no longer able to care for herself and the cats. Her admission to a care home meant that for the little furballs, it was like being exposed on the street, as is common in Spain. But they had an angel who wouldn't allow that. A neighbor informed us about the sad situation for Barbos and his friends, and we searched for foster placements. Thanks to the help of our family, seven cats were safely placed in a foster family, the other two came to another family. Barbos lives peacefully with other cats on a foster home, where he is lovingly cared for. He likes to play and snuggle with his cat friends and enjoys cuddles from us humans. He is very loving and attentive. Barbos dreams of his own cat kingdom where he gets more attention and can further develop his sweet nature. He will trust his human and enrich his presence. Who falls in love with the cuddly beautiful rottiger and gives him his own cat kingdom? The animal presented here lives on a foster home which houses many animals. For these animals, we are searching for a home for a loving and safe life in the new home. The descriptions are brief because there simply isn't time to provide detailed descriptions during the daily work of caring for all the animals. If interested, a detailed description can be requested, please send your questions directly via email to the address provided. We will try to answer these as soon as possible. Home sought For Barbos we are searching for a loving, understanding home. Our cats come - as far as health and age allow - neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and with an EU Pass. Additionally, they are tested for FELV/FIV. We look forward to your contact. This animal was abandoned.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Barbos ist ein echter Herzensbrecher in sanften Rottönen, der mit wunderbarer Ruhe durch den Tag geht. Bis vor Kurzem lebte er zusammen mit acht weiteren Katzen bei einer älteren Dame, die schwer erkrankte und nicht mehr in der Lage war, sich selbst und die Katzen zu versorgen. Ihre Einweisung in ein Pflegeheim bedeutete für die Samtpfötchen, auf der Straße ausgesetzt zu werden, wie es in Spanien üblich ist. Doch sie hatten einen Schutzengel, der das nicht zuließ. Eine Nachbarin informierte uns über die traurige Situation für Barbos und seine Freunde, und wir suchten nach Pflegestellen. Dank der Hilfe unserer Familie konnten sieben Katzen sicher in einer Pflegefamilie untergebracht werden, die beiden übrigen kamen in eine andere Familie. Barbos lebt seitdem mit anderen Katzen friedlich zusammen auf einer Pflegestelle, wo er liebevoll betreut wird. Er spielt und schmust gerne mit seinen Katzenfreunden und genießt Streicheleinheiten von uns Menschen. Er ist sehr lieb und zugewandt.Barbos träumt von einem eigenen Katzenreich, in dem er mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und sein liebliches Wesen weiter entwickeln kann. Er wird sich seinem Menschen vertrauensvoll hingeben und ihn mit seiner Gegenwart bereichern. Wer verliebt sich in den verschmusten wunderschönen Rottiger und schenkt ihm ein eigenes Katzenreich? Das hier vorgestellte Tier lebt auf einer Pflegestelle, welche viele Tiere beherbergt. Für diese Tiere suchen wir ein Zuhause für ein liebevolles und sicheres Leben im neuen Zuhause. Die Beschreibungen sind so kurz, weil einfach keine Zeit bleibt, bei der täglichen Arbeit für die Versorgung all der Tiere. Es kann bei Interesse eine genaue Beschreibung angefordert werden, bitte schicken Sie Ihre Fragen direkt per Mail an die unten angegebene Adresse. Wir versuchen, sobald wie möglich diese zu beantworten. Zuhause gesucht Für Barbos suchen wir ein liebevolles, verständnisvolles Zuhause. Unsere Katzen kommen - soweit es Gesundheit und Alter zulassen - kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit EU-Pass versehen ins neue Zuhause. Außerdem sind sie auf FELV/FIV getestet. Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Kontakt.

About Barbos

What life with Barbos looks like

Barbos is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. 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 Barbos, answered.

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