Benno

Mixed Breed · Male

I am Benno, a tomcat of unknown age. As a stray, I came to the animal shelter and now I'm searching for a new home with a yard. I'm a total snuggler, but I also enjoy my alone time – I'm super easy to care for. Would you like to visit me?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Ich bin Benno, ein Kater unbekannten Alters. Als Streuner kam ich ins Tierheim und suche nun ein neues Zuhause mit Freigang. Ich bin ein totaler Schmuser, genieße aber auch gerne meine Ruhe – total pflegeleicht also. Magst du mich mal besuchen?

About Benno

What life with Benno looks like

Benno is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. in Gunzenhausen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benno, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benno?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benno on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benno if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Benno 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 Benno 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 Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benno 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.
