Adopt Bibby

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hello, I am Bibby. I am about 1.5 years old and have lived in the animal shelter since kittenhood. I am still a bit cautious with new people, but after a while, I will let myself be stroked and then enjoy every bit of attention. I love to play. Whether it's a small ball, a feather on a string, or anything that moves – I can't get enough of it! Playing makes me incredibly happy and shows that I am curious, clever, and full of life. I love to explore my surroundings, observe, and experience small adventures. Although I am shy, I am easily bribed with food. A little treat helps me gain confidence and shed a bit of my shy side. I need a home where patience is shown, time is given, and playtime is offered. Whoever understands that I sometimes need my space and sometimes want to be close, gets a cat that can win hearts in a storm. I am not a pushy character, but I show you slowly that I can be incredibly loving, playful, and clingy – always in my own charming way. A normal home with safe retreat options is perfect for me. There, I can settle in, play, snuggle, and just be myself. In short: I am Bibby – the playful, shy, but incredibly charming kitten. Whoever gives me a little patience, playtime, and loving attention gets a cat that showers daily with small moments of joy.

Hallo, ich bin Bibby. Ich bin etwa 1,5 Jahre alt und lebe schon seit meiner Kittenzeit im Tierheim. Ich bin noch ein bisschen vorsichtig bei neuen Menschen, je nach Tagesform lasse ich mich aber schon kurz streicheln und genieße dann jede Aufmerksamkeit. Am allerliebsten spiele ich. Egal ob ein kleiner Ball, eine Feder am Faden oder irgendetwas, das sich bewegt – ich kann gar nicht genug davon bekommen! Spielen macht mir riesigen Spaß und zeigt, dass ich neugierig, clever und voller Lebensfreude bin. Ich liebe es, meine Umgebung zu erkunden, zu beobachten und kleine Abenteuer zu erleben. Ich bin zwar scheu, aber leicht bestechlich mit Futter. Ein kleines Leckerli hilft mir, Vertrauen zu fassen und meine scheue Seite ein Stück weit abzulegen. Ich brauche ein Zuhause, in dem man Geduld hat, mir Zeit lässt und mir gleichzeitig Spielmöglichkeiten bietet. Wer versteht, dass ich manchmal meinen Abstand brauche und manchmal Nähe zulasse, bekommt eine Katze, die das Herz im Sturm erobern kann. Ich bin kein aufdringlicher Charakter, sondern zeige dir langsam, dass ich unglaublich lieb, verspielt und anhänglich sein kann – immer auf meine eigene, charmante Art. Ein normales Zuhause mit sicheren Rückzugsmöglichkeiten ist perfekt für mich. Dort kann ich in Ruhe ankommen, spielen, kuscheln und einfach ich selbst sein. Kurz gesagt: Ich bin Bibby – die verspielte, scheue, aber unglaublich charmante Kätzin. Wer mir ein wenig Geduld, Spielzeit und liebevolle Aufmerksamkeit schenkt, bekommt eine Katze, die jeden Tag kleine Glücksmomente schenkt.

About Bibby

What life with Bibby looks like

Bibby is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marktoberdorf in Marktoberdorf.

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 Bibby, answered.

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