Bruno

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

Bruno is very people-oriented, self-confident, and incredibly cuddly. He happily approaches all people, shows friendliness toward his fellow dogs, and thoroughly enjoys every form of attention. Bruno came to us with an open wound on his back, which fortunately has healed well, and now he’s finally ready to start living his happy life. Since this sweet boy tests positive for FIV, we’re looking for a home for him that allows indoor living. A secure balcony or outdoor run would be just perfect for him.

DE·Show original

Bruno ist sehr menschenbezogen, selbstbewusst und unglaublich verschmust. Er geht auf alle Menschen freudig zu, zeigt sich freundlich gegenüber Artgenossen und genießt jede Form der Aufmerksamkeit. Bruno kam mit einer offenen Wunde am Rücken zu uns, die glücklicherweise gut verheilt ist und nun möchte er endlich in sein Glück starten. Da der nette Bub FiV positiv ist, suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung. Ein gesicherter Balkon/Auslauf würde ihm gut gefallen.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Diez in Diez.

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 Bruno, answered.

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