How do I contact the shelter about Benny?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ProTier e.V. 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 — ProTier 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

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 ProTier e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Benny

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Since Benny is not the only foundling waiting for an adoption chance, the house of the animal rescuer is full, and the cats have to settle for temporary accommodation in cages. Of course, the cats are well cared for there, but a life in a cage is ultimately very sad. We would therefore be happy if Benny could soon leave this cage and move into a loving home that would give him a good home for a happy and hopefully long cat life. November 9, 2019 Benny could start his journey to Germany and is now searching for a suitable home from his German foster home. The cute Benny has grown into a lively kitten who loves to play and can be occupied for hours with a toy mouse. However, Benny is also clingy and cuddly. The curious little fellow, though, lacks the patience to stay on his person's lap for a longer time. He thinks he might be missing out on something interesting. Benny wishes for a home with an active, like-minded cat community that also doesn't mind a spontaneous wild chase. If the handsome Benny wins your heart, we look forward to your inquiry. As a holding arrangement, we generally prefer suitable for apartment living with a secured balcony or a secured terrace for our cats.

Da Benny nicht der einzige Findling ist, der auf eine Adoptionschance wartet, ist das Haus der Tierschützerin voll, und die Katzen müssen mit einer Unterbringung in Käfigen vorlieb nehmen. Natürlich werden die Katzen dort gut versorgt, aber auf Dauer ist das Leben in einem Käfig doch sehr traurig. Wir würden uns daher freuen, wenn Benny diesen Käfig bald verlassen und bei einer lieben Familie einziehen könnte, die ihm ein gutes Zuhause für ein glückliches und hoffentlich langes Katzenleben schenkt. 09. November 2019Benny konnte seine Reise nach Deutschland antreten und sucht nun von seiner deutschen Pflegestelle aus ein passendes Zuhause. Der niedliche Benny ist zu einem lebhaften Jungkater herangewachsen, der gern und mit großer Ausdauer spielt. Mit einer Spielangel kann man das kleine Energiebündel stundenlang beschäftigen. Benny ist aber auch anhänglich und verschmust. Um längere Zeit auf den Schoß seines Menschen zu verbringen, fehlt dem neugierigen Kerlchen allerdings noch die Geduld. Er meint wohl, er könnte irgendetwas Interessantes verpassen. Benny wünscht sich ein Zuhause mit aktiver, gleichgesinnter Katzengesellschaft, die auch gegen eine gelegentliche wilde Verfolgungsjagd nichts einzuwenden hat. Wenn der hübsche Benny Ihr Herz erobert hat, freuen wir uns auf Ihre Anfrage. Als Haltungsform bevorzugen wir für unsere Katzen generell die Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon bzw. mit gesicherter Terrasse.

About Benny

What life with Benny looks like

Benny is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

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.
