Bjarne

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Bjarne is an impressive, 6-8 year old, male, castrated, tabby cat. He was adopted by a family with a friendly resident cat and has settled in well. His presence did not disturb the family, and the resident cat was not unhappy about the new four-legged member. However, the family was very concerned about the cat's origins, as he was already castrated and had tattooed ears, suggesting an owner. As a result, Bjarne came to the animal shelter. Unfortunately, his ear tattoo is completely illegible, so we were unable to determine his origins, and the search notice also remained unsuccessful. Therefore, Bjarne is now looking for a new home! In initial contact with unfamiliar people, Bjarne can sometimes be a bit reserved, but he quickly becomes a power cuddler and loves being petted. Bjarne gets along great with other cats, he is friendly to everyone and especially offers anxious cats protection and a place to calm down. Desired home: We are looking for a nice, quiet home for Bjarne (children are welcome, but please not too small) with later traffic-calmed outdoor access and a friendly resident cat.

sozialer Partnerkater Status: reserviert Name: Bjarne Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Farbe: getigert Alter: 6-8 Jahre Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Bjarne ist geschätzt 6-8 Jahre alt und ein imposanter getigerter Kater. Er war einer Familie mit netter Bestandskatze zugelaufen und hat sich dort niedergelassen… Seine Anwesenheit hat in der Familie eigentlich niemanden gestört, auch die Bestandskatze war über den 4beinigen Einwanderer nicht unerfreut – aber dennoch hat man sich große Sorgen hinsichtlich der Herkunft des Katers gemacht, denn er war schon kastriert und in den Ohren tätowiert, so daß ein Besitzer vermutet wurde. Und so ist Bjarne zum Tierschutz gekommen. Leider ist sein Ohren-Tatoo absolut unleserlich verwaschen und so konnten wir keine Herkunft ermitteln und die Suchanzeige blieb ebenfalls ergebnislos. Deshalb sucht auch Bjarne nun ein neues Zuhause! Im Erstkontakt mit ihm unbekannten Menschen zeigt sich Bjarne manchmal etwas zurückhaltend, schnell mutiert er aber zum Power-Schmuser und liebt es gekrault zu werden. Artgenossen findet Bjarne toll, er ist zu jedem sehr freundlich und bietet insbesondere ängstlichen Katzen Schutz und einen Ruhepol. Wunschzuhause: Für Bjarne suchen wir ein nettes ruhiges Zuhause (gern auch Kinder, nur bitte nicht allzu klein) mit späterem verkehrsberuhigtem Freigang und einer netten Bestandskatze.

About Bjarne

What life with Bjarne looks like

Bjarne is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bjarne, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bjarne?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bjarne on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bjarne if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Bjarne 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 Bjarne 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 Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bjarne 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.
