How do I contact the shelter about Boubou?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bund der Katzenfreunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Boubou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Boubou if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bund 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 Boubou 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 Boubou 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 Bund der Katzenfreunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Boubou 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.

Boubou

European Shorthair · Female

Click for full view. Other details: vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. The BdK provides mediation assistance for Boubou, here is the text from the owner: Character & Behavior: Boubou is a very calm, loving, and cuddly cat who has grown up in a family and is well socialized. She sleeps a lot, is balanced, and also gets along well with children. Overall, she is a pleasant and uncomplicated companion. Boubou is a rather slender cat with little weight. This has always been the case for her. Diet & Specialties: Allergy sufferer – requires special food. Details about the food and cat litter will be shared upon interest. Despite her slender body, she eats about 3 cans of wet food daily, plus additional dry food. If she eats other food, it can cause stomach problems. In such cases, she needs an adjusted feeding for a few days: → small portions (e.g., half cans) at intervals of about 2 hours until everything settles down. Due to our professional situation and because the children are now older, Boubou is currently alone for many hours a day. Additionally, we sometimes have to travel abroad for several days. Therefore, we would like a home where more time and attention are available for her. A loving, quiet home is sought – ideally still as a flat cat (with a connected balcony) – with people who understand her special diet and can offer her more company. Contact:. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Sonstiges: geimpft, kastriert und gechipt Der BdK leistet Vermittlungshilfe für Boubou, hier der Text der Besitzerin: Charakter & Verhalten: Boubou ist eine sehr ruhige, liebe und verschmuste Katze, die in der Familie aufgewachsen und gut sozialisiert ist. Sie schläft viel, ist ausgeglichen und kommt auch mit Kindern gut zurecht. Insgesamt ist sie eine angenehme und unkomplizierte Begleiterin. Boubou ist eine eher zierliche Katze mit wenig Gewicht. Das ist bei ihr jedoch schon immer so gewesen. Ernährung & Besonderheiten: Allergikerin – benötigt spezielles Futter Details zum Futter sowie zur Katzenstreu werden bei Interesse mitgeteilt Trotz ihres zierlichen Körpers frisst sie regelmäßig ca. 3 Beutel Nassfutter täglich sowie zusätzlich Trockenfutter Wenn sie anderes Futter frisst, kann es zu Magenproblemen kommen In solchen Fällen braucht sie für einige Tage eine angepasste Fütterung: → kleine Portionen (z. B. halbe Beutel) im Abstand von ca. 2 Stunden, bis sich alles wieder beruhigt Aufgrund unserer beruflichen Situation und weil die Kinder inzwischen älter sind, ist Boubou derzeit viele Stunden am Tag alleine. Zudem kommt es vor, dass wir für mehrere Tage ins Ausland reisen müssen. Daher wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause, in dem mehr Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit für sie vorhanden ist. Gesucht wird ein liebevolles, ruhiges Zuhause – idealerweise weiterhin als Wohnungskatze (mit vernetzem Balkon) – bei Menschen, die Verständnis für ihre besondere Ernährung haben und ihr mehr Gesellschaft bieten können.

About Boubou

What life with Boubou looks like

Boubou is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Bund der Katzenfreunde e.V. in Grünwald.

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.
