Bim

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Bim was admitted to the shelter at the end of 2018. Unfortunately, his story is a fairly common one. For quite some time, he lived on the outskirts of a village near Lake Balaton together with another dog, Bam. The well-meaning people living there wanted to find a home for the two of them, so they turned to us. When Bim arrived, he was very shy, and he did not change during the long time he spent with us. He also does not like to leave his kennel. Our shelter will probably be his forever home, so we are waiting for a virtual sponsor and regular supporter to apply.

Bim was admitted to the shelter at the end of 2018, unfortunately his story can be said to be the usual one. He has been living his life on the edge of a Balaton village with another dog, Bam, for quite some time. The well-intentioned people living there wanted to find a home for them, so they turned to us. When Bim arrived, he was very shy and did not change during the long time he spent with us. He doesn't like to leave his kennel either. Our shelter will probably be his forever home, so we are waiting for the application of a virtual host and regular supporter.

About Bim

What life with Bim looks like

Bim is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Vackoló Állatmenhely Veszprém in Vackolo.

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 Hungary

Hungarian shelters operate at high capacity given the country's stray population. Animals leave sterilized, chipped, and with a passport. Many shelters coordinate transport to Germany, Austria, and the Nordics.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bim, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bim?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vackoló Állatmenhely Veszprém handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bim on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bim if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vackoló Állatmenhely Veszprém 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bim 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 Bim 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 Vackoló Állatmenhely Veszprém early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bim 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 (HU). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
