Bo

European Shorthair · Male

Bo is a male black EKH cat who took matters into his own paws in 2023. He decided to follow two hikers in the woods in search of a new home. He may not immediately come to his caregivers, but he is clearly seeking contact with us humans, whom he chooses himself. Bo is a sweet cat who is a bit cautious and needs some time to get to know his new owners better. We can't say yet how he gets along with his fellow felines, but Bo is certainly happy as the only furry one in his new home.

2023männlichschwarzEKHFreigangBo lief auf der Suche nach einer neuen Heimat kurzentschlossen zwei Wanderern im Wald einfach hinterher. Er kommt zwar nicht sofort zu seinen Pflegerinnen, sucht aber eindeutig den Kontakt zu uns Menschen, die er sich selbst aussucht. Bo ist ein lieber Kater, der uns noch etwas vorsichtig begegnet und etwas Zeit benötigt, um seine neuen Dosenöffner besser kennenzulernen. Wie er mit seinen Artgenossen klar kommt, können wir momentan noch nicht sagen, aber Bo fühlt sich sicher als einzige Fellnase im neuen Heim auch wohl.

About Bo

What life with Bo looks like

Bo is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Katzenschutz Göppingen-Donzdorf in Donzdorf.

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 Bo, answered.

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