Bean

Female

Hello I am Bean. I am the slightly clumsy but brave Bean. With me you can steal treats and party. The shelter people sometimes have to smile and even shake their heads because I always manage to get myself into crazy situations. Actually I can move in with you right away and then the fun can start. Maybe with a nice not so pushy cat friend and a cool balcony that is secured... with me it should be especially well secured... if you understand. See you Bean

Besonderheiten: Wohnung mit abgesichertem Balkon. Hallo ich bin Bean. Ich bin die etwas tollpatschige, aber mutige Bean. Mit mir kann man Leckerchen stehlen und Party machen. Die Tierheimmenschen müssen machmal über mich schmunzeln und sogar manchmal den Kopf schütteln, denn ich schaffe es immer wieder mich in ganz verrückte Situationen zu bringen. Eigentlich kann ich doch direkt bei dir einziehen und dann geht der Spaß los. vielleicht mit einer netten nicht so aufdringlichen Katzenfreundin und einem coolen Balkon der abgesichert ist... bei mir sollte der besonders gut abgesichert sein...wenn du verstehst. Wir sehen uns Bean

About Bean

What life with Bean looks like

Bean is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Bean, answered.

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