Billa

Bengal · Female · Adult · 4 years

Our beautiful Billa always looks like she's seen a ghost. The lovely Bengal came to us with her friend Georgie from a seizure and the two are now looking for a new home together. Billa is very affectionate here and so far has been rather calm for a Bengal. She doesn't want a lot of fuss. An apartment with enough space and a secure balcony or secure outdoor access would probably suit her very well.

Unsere wunderschöne Billa sieht immer ein bisschen aus, als hätte sie ein Gespenst gesehen. Die nette Bengalin kam mit ihrem Kumpel Georgie aus einer Sicherstellung zu uns und die zwei suchen nun ein gemeinsames, neues Zuhause. Billa zeigt sich hier seeehr verschmust und bisher für eine Bengalin eher ruhig. Viel Trubel wünscht sie sich nicht. Eine Wohnung mit genug Platz und einem gesicherten Balkon oder gesicherten Freigang würde ihr vermutlich sehr gefallen.

About Billa

What life with Billa looks like

Billa is a adult bengal cat waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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 Billa, answered.

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