Bigio

Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Update September 2026 Es hat eine gute Woche gedauert, bis Bigio von seinem Cat-Tower herabgestiegen ist und sich seinem Pflegefrauchen angenähert hat. Bigio lässt nämlich alles sehr in Ruhe angehen, er bestimmt das Tempo und die Richtung. Nach und nach durfte er auch schon die Katzen auf der Pflegestelle kennenlernen aber – sie interessieren ihn überhaupt nicht. Auch die anfänglichen Fauchis einiger Mitbewohner ließen ihn völlig unbeeindruckt. Bigio macht sein Ding und ist dabei mega entspannt. Und das ist vor allem: Besetzung von Frauchens Bett als erklärten Lieblingsplatz. Hier nimmt der feine Herr auch die täglichen Schmuse-Einheiten entgegen, die er solange genießt bis er sich für ein „Genug“ entscheidet. Da muss Pflegemama schnell sein, denn sonst kann es was mit der Pfote setzen. Seine Liebesbisse sind etwas heftiger, auch hier zeigt Bigio seine Grenzen auf. Fell- und Augenpflege lässt er gut mit sich machen. Auch seinen ersten Tierarztbesuch hat Bigio hinter sich. Er war sehr brav bei der Tierärztin und Autofahren ging auch super . Bigio hatte einen ziemlich maroden Backenzahn, der ihm gezogen werden musste. Vor der Narkose gab es erstmal ein großes Blutbild, denn wir bekamen Bigio ja als „nierenkrank“ in die

About Bigio

What life with Bigio looks like

Bigio is a large adult cat waiting at PfotenFreunde Sardinien 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bigio, answered.

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