Big Ben

Male · Adult · 7 years

Nach dem Tod seines Besitzers muss Big Ben im Moment erstmal ankommen. Leider ist der Name bei ihm Programm, weswegen er im Moment noch Unterstützung beim Abnehmen braucht. Big Ben würde gerne viel mehr geben, traut es sich aber im Moment noch nicht. Nimmt man sich jedoch etwas Zeit, trifft man auf einen selbstbewussten Schmusekater. Und auch die anderen Katzen findet er nicht gerade toll. Daher sucht Big Ben liebevolle konsequente Futtergeber die ihm Zeit geben anzukommen. Viel Trubel braucht er nicht mehr, Kinder sollten eher schon größer sein.

About Big Ben

What life with Big Ben looks like

Big Ben is a adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 Big Ben, answered.

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