Bommel

Male · Senior · 16 years

Bommel is a sweet and affectionate, calm cat who needs a quiet environment and is litter trained. He came to our shelter as a found cat in very poor condition. Since no one seems to be missing the little guy, we are now looking for a loving home for him. Here he shows his best side: the sweet cat is friendly and enjoys the attention of his caregivers. As he is already an older cat, a quiet home without much activity is just right for him. Due to kidney insufficiency, Bommel receives special food that he eats without problems. He also has age-related joint problems for which he receives medication.

DE·Show original

lieb und schmusig - ruhig - braucht eine ruhige Umgebung - Einzelprinzchen - stubenrein Bommel kam als Fundkater in einem sehr schlechten Zustand in unsere Obhut. Da niemand den kleinen Kerl zu vermissen scheint, suchen wir nun ein liebevolles Zuhause für ihn. Hier zeigt er sich von seiner besten Seite: Der liebe Kater ist freundlich und freut sich, wenn seine Bezugsmenschen ihm Aufmerksamkeit schenken. Da er schon ein älteres Semester ist, ist ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Trubel genau das Richtige für ihn. Aufgrund einer Niereninsuffizienz bekommt Bommel Spezialfutter, das er problemlos zu sich nimmt. Auch hat er altersbedingt Gelenkprobleme, gegen die er Medikamente bekommt.

About Bommel

What life with Bommel looks like

Bommel is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Bommel, answered.

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