BELLO

Male · Adult · 5 years

Bello is a male, neutered European Shorthair cat and was born on August 1, 2021. He came to our shelter because his previous owners were overwhelmed with caring for him. Bello is a friendly, people-oriented and very affectionate cat. He observes his surroundings attentively, is curious and enjoys interacting with his humans. At the same time, he is spirited and playful and enjoys shared activities. When Bello wants attention, he has a particularly cute way of showing it: he stands on his hind legs like a little dancing bear and nudges his human with his head. This is his unmistakable way of making it clear that it's time for cuddles or a game. Bello is looking for a loving home where there isn't too much commotion. Since he is a bit sensitive to noise, his new life should be as quiet and consistent as possible and offer him plenty of opportunities to retreat. He is generally suitable for a family. However, any children should be understanding with cats, recognize his boundaries and be able to reliably respect them. We are looking for a home for Bello in an apartment with a well-secured and networked balcony. Since he particularly enjoys being on the balcony, it should definitely be present in his new home. Whether Bello is compatible with other cats, dogs or small animals has not yet been tested. We are very happy that maybe one of our protégés will find a new home with you soon. Please note that in the run-up to a visit.

Bello ist ein männlicher, kastrierter Europäisch-Kurzhaar-Kater und wurde am 1. August 2021 geboren. Er kam zu uns ins Tierheim, da seine Vorbesitzer mit seiner Haltung überfordert waren. Bello ist ein zutraulicher, menschenbezogener und sehr verschmuster Kater. Er beobachtet seine Umgebung aufmerksam, ist neugierig und unterhält sich gerne mit seinen Menschen. Gleichzeitig zeigt er sich temperamentvoll und verspielt und freut sich über gemeinsame Beschäftigung. Wenn Bello Aufmerksamkeit möchte, hat er dafür eine besonders niedliche Methode: Er stellt sich wie ein kleiner Tanzbär auf seine Hinterbeine und stupst seinen Menschen mit dem Kopf an. So macht er unmissverständlich klar, dass nun Zeit für Streicheleinheiten oder ein gemeinsames Spiel ist. Bello wünscht sich ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem nicht allzu viel Trubel herrscht. Da er etwas geräuschempfindlich ist, sollte sein neuer Alltag möglichst ruhig und beständig sein und ihm ausreichend Rückzugsmöglichkeiten bieten. Grundsätzlich ist Bello für eine Familie geeignet. Eventuell vorhandene Kinder sollten jedoch verständnisvoll mit Katzen umgehen, seine Grenzen erkennen und diese zuverlässig respektieren können. Für Bello suchen wir ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit einem gut gesicherten und vernetzten Balkon. Da er sich besonders gerne auf dem Balkon aufhält, sollte dieser im neuen Zuhause unbedingt vorhanden sein. Ob Bello mit Artgenossen, Hunden oder Kleintieren verträglich ist, konnte bislang noch nicht getestet werden. Liebe Interessentinnen und Interessenten, wir freuen uns sehr, dass vielleicht schon bald einer unserer Schützlinge bei Ihnen ein neues Zuhause finden darf. Bitte beachten Sie im Vorfeld einer

About BELLO

What life with BELLO looks like

BELLO is a small adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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 BELLO, answered.

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