Bommel

Male

Born: Unknown Date of Birth: Unknown Kastriert and chipped: yes Desired living situation: Outdoor access Tomcat Bommel appeared one day at a feeding station and made himself known there. Unfortunately, we do not know where he came from or why he was suddenly on his own. Today the likeable tomcat is waiting in the cat house for people who would like to give him a loving home. Bommel is a sweet, rather reserved tomcat who does not push himself forward. He is not one of those cats that immediately demand attention, but greets humans and animals friendly and calmly. It is precisely this pleasant, quiet nature that makes him an especially sympathetic housemate. In the cat group, Bommel gets along very well. He is neither dominant nor pushy and avoids arguments. A real buddy type who can blend harmoniously into an existing cat society. His special feature: Bommel has no tail. Unfortunately, we cannot say why this is so. Whether he was born that way or lost it at some point remains his little secret. In any case, he does not let himself be restricted by it and masters his everyday life quite naturally. At the cat house, you can often find Bommel on the balcony, where he relaxedly observes the surroundings and enjoys the fresh air. For Bommel, we wish a loving home in which he can enjoy outdoor access again in a low-traffic environment after an appropriate acclimatization period. A sunny spot to observe the world should of course not be missing. If you are looking for a friendly, uncomplicated and charming tomcat with a very special look, you should definitely get to know Bommel. ❤️ Katzenhaus Oberwürzbach

Kastriert und gechipt: ja Gesuchte Haltungsform: Freigang Kater Bommel tauchte eines Tages an einer Futterstelle auf und machte sich dort bemerkbar. Woher er kam und warum er plötzlich auf sich allein gestellt war, wissen wir leider nicht. Heute wartet der sympathische Kater im Katzenhaus auf Menschen, die ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchten. Bommel ist ein lieber, eher zurückhaltender Kater, der sich nicht in den Vordergrund drängt. Er gehört nicht zu den Katzen, die sofort Aufmerksamkeit einfordern, sondern begegnet Mensch und Tier freundlich und unaufgeregt. Gerade diese angenehme, ruhige Art macht ihn zu einem besonders sympathischen Mitbewohner. In der Katzengruppe kommt Bommel sehr gut zurecht. Er ist weder dominant noch aufdringlich und geht Streit lieber aus dem Weg. Ein echter Kumpeltyp also, der sich harmonisch in eine bestehende Katzengesellschaft einfügen kann. Seine besondere Auffälligkeit: Bommel hat keinen Schwanz. Warum das so ist, können wir leider nicht sagen. Ob er so geboren wurde oder ihn irgendwann verloren hat, bleibt sein kleines Geheimnis. Einschränken lässt er sich davon jedenfalls nicht und meistert seinen Alltag ganz selbstverständlich. Im Katzenhaus findet man Bommel häufig auf dem Balkon, wo er entspannt die Umgebung beobachtet und die frische Luft genießt. Für Bommel wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit wieder Freigang in einer verkehrsarmen Umgebung genießen darf. Ein sonniges Plätzchen zum Beobachten der Welt sollte dabei natürlich nicht fehlen. Wer einen freundlichen, unkomplizierten und charmanten Kater mit einer ganz besonderen Optik sucht, sollte Bommel unbedingt kennenlernen. ❤️ Katzenhaus Oberwürzbach oder

About Bommel

What life with Bommel looks like

Bommel is a small adult cat waiting at Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. in St. Ingbert.

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 Bommel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bommel?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bommel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bommel if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Verein der Katzenfreunde 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 Bommel 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 Bommel 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 Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bommel 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.
