How do I contact the shelter about BILLY?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenzuflucht e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BILLY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BILLY if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenzuflucht 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 BILLY 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 BILLY 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 Katzenzuflucht e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know BILLY 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.

BILLY

Mixed Breed · Female

Billy, our handsome black cat, is a real heartthrob. With his relaxed and open nature, he enthusiastically explores his surroundings and would love to be involved everywhere. And from the very beginning, he shows almost no shyness in new environments and immediately accepts people. In just a few days, he feels like at home, is curious and active, and enjoys participating in his family's life very much. Particularly noteworthy is his close bond with humans. He is extremely affectionate, likes to seek the proximity of his caregivers, and enjoys long cuddling sessions. At the same time, he is very communicative, always approachable, and encounters everyday life with an infectious good mood. Occasionally, he shows himself as a little scoundrel who causes amusing moments with his ideas and resourcefulness. Whoever is looking for a loyal, lovable and lively companion who wants to be involved in everything will find a wonderful friend in this special black cat. Children are also welcome if they are already somewhat older or know how to handle cats. The more hands there are to stroke, the better! Billy is generally very compatible with other cats, but needs a buddy who likes to fight and play chase, who is not so delicate and can take it as well as give it. However, he does not necessarily need a buddy; if his people have plenty of time for him, they also like to swing the fishing rod and provide him with nice quiet exercise, he would very much like to move in as a single cat. Maybe he would even really enjoy having his own kingdom and being able to do what he wants there. Single or character-wise suitable second cat - both are good options for Billy. For his happiness, our still young furball needs outdoor access so that he can follow his explorer spirit and explore the world outside. However, it should be quiet there and not too many dangerous roads nearby. He doesn't know that and would certainly be very careless on the go and therefore particularly endangered. If you are interested in Billy, just write to us via our contact form or directly by mail at . We can also be reached by phone (also WhatsApp). We will be happy to answer further questions. A short note from ourselves: Please send a phone number with your inquiry, for outdoor access please also provide your address and introduce yourself and the new home briefly. We also present our cats to the best of our knowledge and conscience. Thank you! When you click on the photo, it will enlarge

Billy, unser hübscher schwarzer Kater, ist ein echter Herzensbrecher. Mit seinem entspannten und offenen Wesen erkundet er begeistert seine Umgebung und möchte am liebsten überall dabei sein. Und das von Anfang an, er zeigt fast gar keine Scheu in neuer Umgebung und nimmt auch die Menschen sofort an. In wenigen Tagen fühlt er sich wie zu Hause, ist neugierig und aktiv und nimmt am Leben seiner Familie sehr gerne teil. Besonders bemerkenswert ist seine enge Bindung zu Menschen. Er ist äußerst verschmust, sucht gerne die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen und genießt ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten. Gleichzeitig ist er sehr kommunikativ, stets ansprechbar und begegnet dem Alltag mit einer ansteckend guten Laune. Dabei zeigt er sich gelegentlich als kleiner Schlawiner, der mit seinen Ideen und seinem Einfallsreichtum für so manchen amüsanten Moment sorgt. Wer einen treuen, liebenswerten und aufgeweckten Begleiter sucht, der immer mittendrin statt nur dabei sein möchte, wird in diesem besonderen schwarzen Kater einen wunderbaren Freund finden. Auch Kinder sind gerne willkommen, wenn sie schon etwas größer sind oder den Umgang mit Katzen bereits kennen. Je mehr Hände zum Streicheln da sind, desto besser! Grundsätzlich ist Billy mit anderen Katzen sehr verträglich, braucht aber einen Kumpel, der auch gerne rauft und nachlaufen spielt, der nicht so zimperlich ist und einstecken wie austeilen kann. Er muss aber auch nicht unbedingt einen Kumpel haben; wenn seine Menschen viel Zeit für ihn haben, gerne auch mal die Spielangel schwingen und ihm schöner ruhiger Auslauf zur Verfügung steht, kann er sehr gern auch als Einzelkater umziehen. Vielleicht würde ihm das sogar ganz gut gefallen, sein Reich für sich zu haben und dort schalten und walten zu können, wie er mag. Einzel- oder charakterlich passender Zweitkater - beides sind für Billy gute Optionen. Für sein Glück braucht unser noch junges Lackfellchen unbedingt Freigang, damit er seinem Entdeckergeist nachgehen und die Welt draußen erkunden kann. Jedoch sollte es dort ruhig sein und keine allzu gefährlichen Straßen in der Nähe sein. Das kennt er nämlich nicht und wäre als unbedarfter Jungkater sicher sehr sorglos unterwegs und damit auch besonders gefährdet. Wenn Sie sich für Billy interessieren, schreiben Sie uns einfach über unser Kontaktformular oder direkt per Mail an . Telefonisch sind wir unter (auch WhatsApp) zu erreichen. Gern beantworten wir weitere Fragen. Ein kurzer Hinweis in eigener Sache: Schicken Sie bitte bei einer Anfrage direkt eine Telefonnummer mit, bei Freigang bitte auch Ihre Anschrift und stellen Sie sich und das neue Zuhause bitte auch kurz vor. Wir stellen unsere Katzen ja auch nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen vor. Vielen Dank! Beim Klick auf das Foto vergrößert sich die Ansicht.

About BILLY

What life with BILLY looks like

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.
