Birdie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

- freundlich und verschmust - braucht ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Hunde oder kleine Kinder - stubenrein Die kleine Birdie kam Anfang September als Fundtier in unsere Obhut – so traurig wie die kleine Maunz schaut, scheint sie geradezu zu wissen, dass sie ihr Zuhause verloren hat und von niemandem vermisst wird. Hier zeigt sie sich von ihrer besten Seite: Birdie ist freundlich, verschmust und verbringt liebend gerne Zeit mit ihren Bezugspersonen, um sich den getigerten Pelz kraulen zu lassen. Doch Birdie ist keine reine Couch-Potato, weshalb Freigang ein Muss für sie ist. Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder oder Hunde ist genau das Richtige für Birdie. Dieses Tier entstammt der Verpaarung mit einer*m Vertreter*in einer Qualzucht. Die züchtungsbedingten morphologischen und/oder physiologischen Veränderungen bei sogenannten Qualzuchtrassen können zu Verhaltensstörungen führen und sind mit körperlichen Leiden und Schmerzen für die Tiere verbunden. Laut § 11b Tierschutzgesetz ist die Zucht solcher Tiere verboten. Ein Kennzeichen dieser Rasse ist die züchterisch erzeugte starke Verkürzung des Gesichtsschädels. Dies führt zu einer Verengung der oberen Atemwege und des Tränenkanals, Einwärtsdrehen des Augenlidrandes sowie Vorbiss, Überbiss und Schiefbiss, was unter anderem die Nahrungsaufnahme extrem erschweren kann. Der breite Schädel erschwert eine natürliche Geburt. Wenn die Tiere anatomisch bedingt leiden, handelt es sich um eine Qualzucht. Als Anwält*innen der Tiere lehnen wir diese ab. Tierhalter*innen, die solche Zuchten unterstützen, handeln unverantwortlich.

About Birdie

What life with Birdie looks like

Birdie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 Birdie, answered.

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