Bongo (Einzelkater)

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

"Bongo"ist ein charakterstarker und sensibler Kater, der bereits vermittelt war und nun sein Zuhause wieder verlassen musste, da es dort zu Problemen im Zusammenleben mit einem Menschen gekommen ist. Mit seinen Hauptbezugspersonen hatte er keinerlei Probleme.Bei vertrauten Menschen kann "Bongo" sehr verschmust und anhänglich sein. Er genießt Streicheleinheiten und die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen. Katzentypisch zeigt er aber auch seine Grenzen klar und erwartet, dass diese respektiert werden.Neue Situationen und fremde Menschen betrachtet er zunächst lieber aus sicherer Entfernung. Hat er Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er seine liebevolle Seite - dennoch suchen wir für ihn katzenerfahrene Menschen, die bereit sind mit ihm durch dick und dünn zu gehen und ihn nicht aufgeben, wenn es schwieriger werden sollte.Ein ruhiger Haushalt ohne Kinder und ohne andere Katzen ist Voraussetzung, da er seine Menschen nicht teilen möchte und mit Artgenossen nicht gut zurechtkommt.Wir suchen für "Bongo" ein Zuhause, indem er nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit die Möglichkeit zum Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten, ruhigen Wohngegend bekommt, damit er seinem Bewegungsdrang nachgehen kann.Wir wünschen uns für "Bongo" ein verständnisvolles Zuhause bei Menschen mit Katzenerfahrung.

About Bongo (Einzelkater)

What life with Bongo (Einzelkater) looks like

Bongo (Einzelkater) is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bongo (Einzelkater), answered.

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