Bärchen

Male · Adult · 5 years

Bärchen came to our shelter as a found animal. He was successfully rehomed once, but unfortunately returned because his new owners were overwhelmed by his moody nature. Bärchen is a cat whose mood can quickly turn. Therefore, his new owners must be able to read his mood well. Because when Bärchen is unhappy, he can be quite aggressive. For this reason, children should not live with him. He also does not get along with other cats. Bärchen is looking for a quiet household with experienced cat owners who will accept him as he is and give him his space. Bärchen is used to being outdoors and wants to be able to go outside again.

DE·Show original

Bärchen kam ursprünglich als Fundtier in unser Tierheim. Er konnte bereits einmal vermittelt werden, aber er wurde leider wieder zurück gebracht, weil seine neue Besitzerin mit seiner launischen Art überfordert gewesen ist. Bärchen ist ein Kater, bei dem die Stimmung schnell kippen kann. Daher müssen seine neuen Besitzer in der Lage sein, seine Laune gut lesen zu können. Denn wenn Bärchen etwas gegen den Strich geht, setzt er auch schon mal seine Zähne und Krallen gezielt ein. Kinder sollten aufgrund dessen nicht mit ihm zusammenleben. Seine Artgenossen mag Bärchen ebenfalls nicht. Bärchen sucht einen ruhigen Haushalt mit erfahrenen Katzenmenschen, die ihn nehmen wir er ist und die ihm seinen Freiraum lassen. Bärchen ist Freigang gewohnt und er möchte diesen auch wieder bekommen.

About Bärchen

What life with Bärchen looks like

Bärchen is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

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 Bärchen, answered.

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