Benni

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Benny came to us as a surrendered cat. In his old home, he showed incontinence due to other cats and children. Here, he has always been clean. Benny is a rather shy, sensitive cat. He is sweet and easy-going, but so far, he mostly sits in one of his dens and hides. We are looking for a quiet home for him in apartment living without children and without other cats.

Benni kam als Abgabekater zu uns. In seinem alten Zuhause zeigte er aufgrund anderer Katzen und Kindern Unsauberkeit. Hier war er bisher immer auf der Toilette. Benni ist ein eher schüchterner, sensibler Kater. Er ist lieb und umgänglich, sitzt aber bisher meistens in einer seiner Höhle und versteckt sich. Wir suchen für ihn ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung ohne Kinder und ohne andere Katzen.

About Benni

What life with Benni looks like

Benni is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Würzburg in Würzburg.

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 Benni, answered.

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