How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

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

Can I adopt Bobby if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Bobby 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 Bobby 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bobby 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.

Bobby

Male · Adult · 4 years

Bobby came to our shelter as a found animal. Now the lovable Maunzieur is looking for foster parents. Bobby is a very special cat who immediately wins hearts with his loving and open nature. He is friendly, cuddly and enjoys every caress. As a real lap cat, he loves being close to his caregivers and indulging in pampering. At the same time, Bobby is a confident cat who knows exactly what he wants and knows how to use his charming manner skillfully. In addition to his affectionate side, Bobby is also playful and lively. He enjoys shared activities, curiously explores his surroundings and brings life into everyday life with his cheerful nature. His joie de vivre has been preserved despite a serious setback. Currently, Bobby is looking for foster parents as he recovers from multiple pelvic fractures. For his further recovery, he still needs time, rest and medical care. He is already making great progress and mastering this challenge with admirable strength. A sponsorship helps to cover the costs of care and gives him the support he needs on his way back to a carefree cat life. With his affectionate, cheerful and lovable nature, Bobby brings a smile to everyone's face. Those who support him with a sponsorship accompany a brave cat on his recovery journey and give him the care he deserves. If you would like to support Bobby, we are happy about sponsors who financially support the little mouse.

Bobby kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun sucht der liebenswürdige Maunzieur Pat*innen. Bobby ist ein ganz besonderer Kater, der mit seinem liebevollen und offenen Wesen sofort die Herzen erobert. Er ist freundlich, schmusig und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Als echter Schoßkater liebt er es, ganz nah bei seinen Pflegern zu sein und sich ausgiebig verwöhnen zu lassen. Gleichzeitig ist Bobby ein selbstbewusster Kater, der genau weiß, was er möchte, und seine charmante Art gekonnt einzusetzen weiß. Neben seiner verschmusten Seite ist Bobby auch verspielt und lebhaft. Er freut sich über gemeinsame Beschäftigung, erkundet neugierig seine Umgebung und bringt mit seiner fröhlichen Art Leben in den Alltag. Seine Lebensfreude hat er sich trotz eines schweren Schicksalsschlags bewahrt. Derzeit sucht Bobby Pat*innen, da er sich von einer mehrfachen Beckenfraktur erholt. Für seine weitere Genesung benötigt er noch Zeit, Ruhe und medizinische Betreuung. Er macht bereits tolle Fortschritte und meistert diese Herausforderung mit bewundernswerter Stärke. Eine Patenschaft hilft dabei, die Versorgung zu decken und gibt ihm die Unterstützung, die er auf seinem Weg zurück zu einem unbeschwerten Katzenleben braucht. Mit seiner verschmusten, fröhlichen und liebenswerten Art zaubert Bobby jedem ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Wer ihn mit einer Patenschaft unterstützt, begleitet einen tapferen Kater auf seinem Weg der Genesung und schenkt ihm die Fürsorge, die er verdient. Wenn sie Bobby unterstützen möchten, freuen wir uns über Pat*innen, die die kleine Maus finanziell unterstützen. 01.07.2026 (kw)

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a adult cat waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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.
