Benny

Mixed Breed · Female

Benny Alter: ca. 1-2 Jahre. Geschlecht: männlich/kastriertVerträglichkeit: ZweittierHaltung: WohnungGesundheit: geimpft, gechipt, negativ getestet, AtaxieSchutzgebühr: 200 Euro Wir suchen für einen Kater mit Ataxie das passende Zuhause.Der neue Dosenöffner sollte um die Problematik eines Tieres mit Ataxie wissen und damit zurecht kommen.Er ist ein toller Kerl, sehr lieb und verschmust mit Mensch und Tier. Er darf und kann natürlich nicht in den Freigang. Damit er sich nicht langweilt, sollte er einen verträglichen Kumpel im neuen Zuhause vorfinden.Auch jüngere Kinder sind kein Problem. Leider ist Benny manchmal inkontinent. Es wird zwar mit ihm trainiert aber ob das je vollständig weggeht, können wir nicht sagen. Fliesenboden wäre da wohl von Vorteil. 🙂Hinweis zur Ataxie: Ataxie bei Katzen ist keine eigenständige Krankheit, sondern ein Symptom für eine Störung des Nervensystems, die sich durch Koordinationsstörungen, Schwanken, Stolpern oder Umfallen äußert. Ursachen sind vielfältig (angeboren, Infektionen, Verletzungen). Viele betroffene Katzen können trotz der Behinderung mit angepasster Umgebung (rutschfeste Böden, gepolsterte Möbel) ein schmerzfreies, glückliches Leben führen. Durch Physio hat sich sein Gangbild schon massiv verbessert und es wäre sicher schön, wenn diese weitehin durchgeführt werden könnte. Bei Interesse füllen Sie bitte den Fragebogen für Frau Heinrichs aus, vielen Dank. Ich interessiere mich für diese Katze Weitere Katzen entdecken

About Benny

What life with Benny looks like

Benny is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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. Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 — Katzenschutzbund Köln 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 Katzenschutzbund Köln 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.
