Barney

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 7 months

Barney, approximately 7 months old, is looking for his forever home - preferably with a suitable feline companion by his side. Unfortunately, my start in life was not particularly pleasant. In July, I was seized by the veterinary office from an animal hoarding case. Initially, I had a pretty bad cold. Meanwhile, I'm doing much better, but it unfortunately never fully disappeared. Therefore, I may continue to have chronic cold symptoms. However, I'm coping well with it and it doesn't stop me from enjoying life. I've since been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, making me ready to move into my new home. What I particularly like? People! I'm an absolutely affectionate and people-oriented little cat. When you give me your attention, I'm happy and enjoy every petting session. I also get along really well with other cats. That's why I don't want to live alone. A social, suitable companion should already be waiting for me or move in with me. For my future home, I also wish for outdoor access, so I can explore my surroundings and live out my adventurous spirit after a proper acclimation period. Despite my difficult start, I'm a kind, open, and very affectionate little fellow. Now all I need is a family that shows me how beautiful a home of my own can be. Maybe you're my person? Name: Barney Number: K 293-26 Gender: Male Born: approximately 01.02.26 At the shelter since: 12.07.26 Spayed: Yes Outdoor access: Yes Single housing: No

Ich bin Barney, ungefähr 7 Monate alt, und auf der Suche nach meinem ganz eigenen Zuhause – am liebsten mit einem passenden Katzenkumpel an meiner Seite. Mein Start ins Leben war leider nicht besonders schön. Im Juli wurde ich durch das Veterinäramt aus einem Animal-Hoarding-Fall sichergestellt. Anfangs hatte ich einen ziemlich starken Schnupfen. Mittlerweile geht es mir schon deutlich besser, ganz verschwunden ist er allerdings leider nie. Es kann deshalb sein, dass mich ein chronischer Schnupfen auch weiterhin begleiten wird. Damit komme ich aber gut zurecht und lasse mich davon nicht davon abhalten, das Leben zu genießen. Inzwischen bin ich kastriert, gechipt und geimpft und damit bereit, in mein neues Zuhause zu ziehen. Was ich ganz besonders gerne mag? Menschen! Ich bin ein absolut verschmuster und menschenbezogener kleiner Kater. Wenn du mir deine Aufmerksamkeit schenkst, bin ich glücklich und genieße jede Streicheleinheit. Auch mit anderen Katzen verstehe ich mich richtig gut. Deshalb möchte ich auf keinen Fall alleine leben. Ein sozialer, passender Artgenosse sollte bereits auf mich warten oder gemeinsam mit mir einziehen dürfen. Für mein zukünftiges Zuhause wünsche ich mir außerdem Freigang, damit ich später nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit meine Umgebung erkunden und meine Abenteuerlust ausleben kann. Trotz meines schwierigen Starts bin ich ein lieber, aufgeschlossener und sehr verschmuster kleiner Kerl. Jetzt fehlt mir nur noch eine Familie, die mir zeigt, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Vielleicht bist genau du mein Mensch? Name Barney Nummer K 293-26 Geschlecht Männlich Geboren ca. 01.02.26 Im Tierheim seit 12.07.26 Kastriert Ja Freilauf Ja Einzelhaltung Nein

About Barney

What life with Barney looks like

Barney is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. in Wunstorf.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Barney, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Barney?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Barney on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Barney if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 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 Barney 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 Barney 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 Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Barney 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.
