Boxer

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Boxer came to us as a found animal from Dornwang. Upon arrival, he was in no good condition, suffering from severe cat cold and needing a tooth extraction. After a long period in quarantine, treatment for his dental issues, castration, and noticeable relief from his cold, he was allowed to move into the adoption area. Boxer gets along well with other cats. He is still reserved around people, which is understandable given the stress he has experienced. He needs time and a lot of patience to fully recover.

DE·Show original

Boxer kam als Fundtier von Dornwang zu uns. Er war bei seiner Ankunft in keinem guten Zustand, litt unter starkem Katzenschnupfen und brauchte eine Zahnsanierung. Nach einer langen Zeit in Quarantäne, der Behandlung seiner Zahnprobleme, Kastration und deutlicher Linderung seines Schnupfens durfte er in den Vermittlungsbereich umziehen. Boxer versteht sich gut mit anderen Katzen. Menschen gegenüber ist er noch zurückhaltend. Das ist verständlich nach dem Stress, den er erlebt hat. Er braucht Zeit und viel Geduld, um sich vollständig zu erholen.

About Boxer

What life with Boxer looks like

Boxer is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn 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 Boxer, answered.

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