Benny

European Shorthair · Male

playful, good with others, would most like to move out of his room together with Janes – read further below for more information. The video opens via YouTube: privacy information. About Benny Kater (tomcat) Benny sits in a room with several other tomcats. The photos and the video clearly show that he likes to play with our cat whisperer, and he can be won over with cooked chicken, which she always brings along. He has also become comfortable with being petted and has grown trusting. He gets along especially well with tomcat Janes, so we would gladly place the two of them together with loving cat friends. Since he is kept with us in a room with a cat flap, through which he can reach a small garden, he should also be allowed outdoor access in his future home, once he knows where he belongs. The video also shows how adorable Benny is!

Ganz besonders gut verträgt er sich mit Kater Janes, sodass wir die beiden gerne zusammen an liebe Katzenfreunde vermitteln würden. Nachdem er bei uns in einem Zimmer mit Katzenklappe sitzt, über das er in einen kleinen Garten kann, sollte er auch in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause in den Freigang dürfen, nachdem er weiß, wo er hingehört.

About Benny

What life with Benny looks like

Benny is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Benny, answered.

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