Bobby

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Bobby wurde gefunden. Gegenüber fremden Menschen ist er scheu, bei gewohnten Dosenöffnern zeigt er sich zutraulich und lässt sich richtig durchkraulen.Der kleine Kater hatte in seiner Vergangenheit einen Unfall und die Verletzung ist komplett selber verheilt, leider falsch zusammengewachsen. Bobby kann seine Vorderpfote wenig nutzen. Bisher hat er keine Schwierigkeiten beim Springen und Rennen. Bobby ist mit Katzen sehr verträglich. Er braucht Zeit zum auftauen und ein ruhiges Zuhause mit ebenerdigem Zugang ins Freie.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim 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 Bobby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Heppenheim 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 — Tierheim Heppenheim 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 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 Tierheim Heppenheim 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.
