How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. 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 — Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. 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 Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. 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

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

This is tomcat Bobby. He arrived at the foster home last summer completely emaciated and matted, limping on three legs. At first, he was very fearful, but once he realized he was getting food and a place to sleep, it didn’t take long for his clingy and affectionate nature to come out. He enjoys being combed and petted, finds the best sleeping spots, and accepts other cats. But he loves his food the most. He seems to not have forgotten the tough times. He begs, gives head butts, and is happy when the bowl is full. Unfortunately, he eats everything and everyone else, making him increasingly chubby. Therefore, a home as a single indoor cat with a yard would be the best solution to ration his food so he doesn’t continue to gain weight. Bobby is approximately 6 years old, calm, friendly, and spends most of his time sleeping when he’s not begging for food. It would be wonderful if he could find a quiet home. Visitors can pet him, and he is grateful for any affection. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Das ist Kater Bobby. Er kam im letzten Sommer völlig ausgehungert und verfilzt auf drei Beinen humpelnd auf der Pflegestelle an. Zunächst war er sehr ängstlich, aber als er bemerkte, dass er Futter und ein Plätzchen zum Schlafen bekam dauerte es nicht lange, bis seine anhänglich und liebenswerte Natur zum Vorschein kam. Er lässt sich sehr gerne kraulen und bürsten, sucht sich die besten Schlafplätze und akzeptiert andere Katzen. Aber am meisten liebt er sein Futter. Er scheint die schlechten Zeiten nicht zu vergessen. Da bettelt er, gibt Köpfchen und ist glücklich wenn der Napf voll ist. Leider futtert er den anderen auch alles weg und wird daher immer moppeliger. Daher wäre ein Zuhause als alleiniger Stubentiger mit Freigang die beste Lösung, um sein Futter zu rationieren damit er nicht mehr zunimmt. Bobby ist ca. 6 Jahre alt, ruhig, freundlich und schläft die meiste Zeit, wenn er nicht um Futter bettelt. Es wäre schön wenn er ein ruhiges Zuhause bekommen würde. Von Besuchern lässt er sich gerne streicheln und ist dankbar für jede Zuwendung.
