Adopt Bente

Female · Young · 1 year

Cheerful female kitten seeks new roommate Indeed, that's exactly right. I'm looking for a new home. One with two-legged beings who like to cuddle and p l a y with me. I really enjoy both. Additionally, my nose seems to appreciate fresh air. I find it very exciting to look outside and my paws itch to go out for a walk. Perhaps a secure balcony would be a good alternative. Cuddle cushion included. Or right next to you on the sofa? I’m not sure yet if I like other cats, children, and dogs. But we can figure that out. Since the caregivers attest to my unproblematic nature, that shouldn’t be an issue. Where I was found, there were other cats around (who have since arrived at the animal shelter) and there was no drama. So you can make an appointment with me, then we can “test cuddle” and think about everything else. Suitcases are packed…. Animal adoptions are currently only by appointment. Therefore, we ask you to contact us in advance by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email at __EMAIL0__.

Aufgewecktes Katzenmädel sucht neue WG Jawohl, stimmt genau so. Ich suche ein neues zuhause. Eines mit Zweibeinern, die gerne mit mir kuscheln u n d spielen. Beides mag ich sehr gerne. Außerdem scheint mein Näschen frische Luft zu mögen. Ich finde es sehr spannend nach draußen zu gucken und mir juckt es in den Pfoten, selbige zum draußen rumlaufen zu nutzen. Evtl. wäre auch ein ein gesicherter Balkon eine gute Alternative. Kuschelkissen inkluisve. Oder doch gleich neben Ihnen auf dem Sofa? Ob ich andere Katzen, Kinder und Hunde mag, weß ich noch nicht. Aber das lässt sich ja rausfinden. Da die Pfleger mir eine Unkompliziertheit attestieren, sollte daß aber kein Problem sein. Da wo ich gefunden worden bin, liefen noch andere Katzen herum (die inzwischen auch im Tierheim angekommen sind) und da gab`s kein Theater. Sie können also einen Termin mit mir vereinbaren, dann können wir “Probe kuscheln” und alles weitere überlegen. Koffer sind gepackt…. Tiervermittlungen finden zurzeit nur mit Termin statt. Wir bitten Sie daher, sich bei Interesse an einem unserer Tiere vorab telefonisch unter 05481 / 4146 oder per E-Mail an mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Bente

What life with Bente looks like

Bente is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

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 Bente, answered.

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