Adopt Bobby

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Bobby is a Persian mix and was born around 2021. He came to us from the animal shelter on April 18, 2026, completely feral, matted, and infested with ticks. He was also neither neutered nor had any identification like a microchip or tattoo. From the very first day, he was very friendly towards humans and enjoys being petted. He allowed himself to be freed from the ticks but had to be shorn almost entirely, except for his head, tail, and feet. Other cats are not his thing, so he would prefer to be an individual prince in his new home. He is also incredibly voracious, which is rather unusual for a Persian. But he has a strong need for freedom and would like to have a free roam after an adjustment period. Of course, regular fur care is very important. This cat needs outdoor access.

Bobby ist ein Persermischling und ca. 2021 geboren. Er kam völlig verwahrlost, verfilzt und übersät mit Zecken am 18.04.26 aus Schloß Neuhaus zu uns ins Tierheim. Er war außerdem weder kastriert noch trug irgendein ein Kennzeichen wie Chip oder Tättoo. Er war vom ersten Tag an, den Menschen sehr zugewandt und lässt sich gerne streicheln. Er ließ sich gut von den Zecken befreien und musste leider bis auf Kopf, Schwanz und Füße geschoren werden. Andere Katzen sind so gar nicht sein Ding, weshalb er im neuen Zuhause schon gerne Einzelprinz wäre.Er ist auch unheimlich verfressen, was eher untypisch ist für Perser. Aber er hat auch einen starken Freiheitsdrang und würde nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit gerne Freigang bekommen.Da ist natürlich ständige Fellpflege sehr wichtig.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

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 Bobby, answered.

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