Bruno

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 18 years

Bruno – 17 Jahre alt und noch nicht bereit aufzugeben! Bruno versteht die Welt gerade nicht mehr. Mit 17 Jahren wurde der betagte Kater im Tierheim abgegeben, weil das Zusammenleben mit der anderen Katze im Haushalt nicht mehr funktionierte. Für einen alten Kater bedeutet ein solcher Verlust einen besonders schweren Einschnitt. Bei seiner Ankunft zeigte sich schnell, dass Bruno dringend Hilfe brauchte. Seine Zähne waren in einem sehr schlechten Zustand, sodass eine notwendige Operation sofort durchgeführt werden musste. Auch seine Nierenwerte sind nicht mehr die besten – leider keine Seltenheit bei Katzen in diesem Alter. Bruno benötigt deshalb spezielles Nierenfutter und regelmäßige tierärztliche Betreuung. Und trotzdem: Bruno hat seinen Lebenswillen nicht verloren. Er frisst mit Appetit, genießt jede Streicheleinheit, ist neugierig auf seine Umgebung und begegnet Menschen offen und freundlich. Wer ihn kennenlernt, merkt schnell, dass in diesem alten Kater noch ganz viel Lebensfreude steckt. Er sucht die Nähe seiner Menschen, möchte dazugehören und einfach seinen Lebensabend in Geborgenheit verbringen. Für Bruno suchen wir daher keine normale

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierasyl Chemnitz in Germany.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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. Tierasyl Chemnitz 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 — Tierasyl Chemnitz 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 Tierasyl Chemnitz 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.
