BRUCE

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Bruce sucht sein HAPPY END. Bruce wurde als kleines Kitten im Tierheim abgegeben und wartet seit über einem Jahr darauf, entdeckt zu werden. Leider werden schwarze Katzen oft übersehen – dabei steckt in diesem hübschen Kater ein großes Herz. Der junge Kater ist lieb, sozial und sehr verträglich mit anderen Katzen. Er spielt gerne, ist neugierig und möchte sein Leben unbedingt mit einem Katzenfreund teilen. Deshalb wird er nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt. Fremden Menschen begegnet Bruce zunächst etwas vorsichtig. Gibt man ihm jedoch Zeit, fasst er schnell Vertrauen, sucht die Nähe seiner Menschen und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit. Für Bruce wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit einer passenden Samtpfote an seiner Seite. Wer schenkt diesem besonderen Kater endlich die Chance, auf die er schon so lange wartet?

About BRUCE

What life with BRUCE looks like

BRUCE is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at 4 Happy Paws e.V. in Saal an der Donau.

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 BRUCE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BRUCE?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4 Happy Paws e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BRUCE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BRUCE if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4 Happy Paws 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 BRUCE 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 BRUCE 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 4 Happy Paws e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know BRUCE 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.
