Bommel

Male · Young · 1 year

Bommel, who was born around the beginning of 2025, came to us at the end of April '26 along with five other cats from an animal hoarding case. So far, he apparently hasn't had much experience and is still very overwhelmed by the shelter routine. Bommel hardly ever comes out of his hiding spot and doesn't want to be touched yet. We can't say much about his personality and behavior just yet. He needs some time to settle in.

Bommel, der ca. Anfang 2025 geboren ist, kam Ende April '26 zusammen mit fünf weiteren Katzen aus einem Animal-Hoarding-Fall zu uns. Bisher hat er offenbar nicht viel kennengelernt und ist noch sehr überfordert hier im Tierheimalltag. Bommel kommt kaum aus seinem Versteck hervor und möchte auch noch nicht angefasst werden. Bisher können wir noch nicht viel über seinen Charakter und sein Verhalten sagen. Er braucht noch etwas Zeit, um anzukommen.

About Bommel

What life with Bommel looks like

Bommel is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Münster in Münster.

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. Tierheim Münster 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 Münster 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 Tierheim Münster 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.
