How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung 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 — Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung 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 Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung 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

Bobby Tier-ID: 1588 Im Tierheim seit 13.08.2026 Bobby is a friendly, although initially somewhat shy, cat who wants to get to know his new surroundings at his own pace. If you give him the necessary time, he will gradually come out of his shell. Bobby came to us as a found cat. Unfortunately, no one has reported him missing or searched for him so far. Since we therefore do not know where he originally comes from and how he lived before, we would like to offer him a home with later outdoor access as a precaution. This is the best way to meet his previous living conditions. Bobby's compatibility with other cats will be tested shortly. Therefore, we will initially keep him under the "Single Cat" category. This does not necessarily mean that he must live alone permanently - compatibility will still be tested. Due to his short nose, Bobby may occasionally have watery eyes. These should be regularly checked and gently cleaned if necessary. In short-nosed cats like him, this is often due to the anatomy. As a BKH, certain health conditions, including heart disease, may occur more frequently. Fortunately, there were no heart problems during Bobby's castration.

Bobby Tier-ID: 1588 Im Tierheim seit 13.08.2026 Bobby ist ein freundlicher Kater, der bei seiner Ankunft zunächst etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend war. Inzwischen ist er aufgetaut und geht freundlich auf Menschen zu. Er braucht zwar weiterhin etwas Zeit, um richtig Vertrauen zu fassen, zeigt aber immer mehr, dass in ihm ein aufgeschlossener und lieber Kerl steckt. Bobby kam als Fundkater zu uns. Leider hat sich bislang niemand gemeldet, der ihn vermisst oder nach ihm gesucht hat. Da wir daher nicht wissen, woher er ursprünglich kommt und wie er zuvor gelebt hat, möchten wir ihm vorsichtshalber ein Zuhause mit späterer Freigangsmöglichkeit bieten. So können wir seinen unbekannten bisherigen Lebensumständen am ehesten gerecht werden. Auch mit anderen Katzen hat Bobby bisher keine Probleme. Bei der Prüfung seiner Verträglichkeit hat er sich unkompliziert gezeigt und kommt mit seinen Artgenossen gut zurecht. Aufgrund seiner kurzen Nase kann es bei Bobby gelegentlich zu tränenden Augen kommen. Diese sollten regelmäßig kontrolliert und bei Bedarf vorsichtig gereinigt werden. Bei kurznasigen Katzen wie ihm ist dies häufig durch die Anatomie bedingt. Als BKH können zudem bestimmte gesundheitliche Besonderheiten, unter anderem Herzerkrankungen, häufiger vorkommen. Bei Bobby gab es während der Kastration glücklicherweise keine Auffälligkeiten am Herzen. Zurück

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Lippstadt und Umgebung e.V. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
