Bruno und/oder Benny

Mixed Breed · Female

Benny and/or Bruno Age: about 1-2 years. Gender: male/neutered Compatibility: prefer together, only as second pet Housing: outdoor access/apartment Health: vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative, Ataxie Euro per animal Egg-laying wool milk pig as can opener wanted! We know it's almost impossible to find this needle in the haystack, but who doesn't dare… We are looking for a home for two very different tomcats with different needs and requirements. There is the black-and-white Bruno. Very sweet, very easy-going with people (including children) and other pets. He definitely wants outdoor access. Then there is his buddy Benny. An Ataxie tomcat. Also very loving and cuddly with people and pets, but of course should not have outdoor access. Despite this, the two get along very well, so we wish they could stay together. This means we are looking for a home with a large but secure garden where Benny could safely go as well. Both are suitable for apartment living with a balcony, but this is not enough for Bruno. If he were to spend the whole day outside, it would be hard on Benny to be alone. One just needs to understand the challenges of an Ataxie animal and how to manage them. Unfortunately, he is sometimes incontinent. However, he is being trained so that this no longer happens. Note on Ataxia: Ataxia in cats is not a disease in itself, but a symptom of a nervous system disorder that manifests as coordination problems, swaying, stumbling, or falling over. Causes are varied (congenital, infections, injuries). Many affected cats can lead a pain-free, happy life despite the disability with adapted surroundings (non-slip floors, cushioned furniture). His gait has already improved significantly through physiotherapy. Perhaps the two will have some luck? If not, both can also be rehomed separately, but only as second pets. Bruno with outdoor access in a quiet residential area and Benny suitable for apartment living. If interested, please fill out the questionnaire for Mrs. Heinrichs, thank you.

Benny Alter: ca. 1-2 Jahre. Geschlecht: männlich/kastriertVerträglichkeit: ZweittierHaltung: WohnungGesundheit: geimpft, gechipt, negativ getestet, AtaxieSchutzgebühr: 200 Euro Wir suchen für einen Kater mit Ataxie das passende Zuhause.Der neue Dosenöffner sollte um die Problematik eines Tieres mit Ataxie wissen und damit zurecht kommen.Er ist ein toller Kerl, sehr lieb und verschmust mit Mensch und Tier. Er darf und kann natürlich nicht in den Freigang. Damit er sich nicht langweilt, sollte er einen verträglichen Kumpel im neuen Zuhause vorfinden.Auch jüngere Kinder sind kein Problem. Leider ist Benny manchmal inkontinent. Es wird zwar mit ihm trainiert aber ob das je vollständig weggeht, können wir nicht sagen. Fliesenboden wäre da wohl von Vorteil. 🙂Hinweis zur Ataxie: Ataxie bei Katzen ist keine eigenständige Krankheit, sondern ein Symptom für eine Störung des Nervensystems, die sich durch Koordinationsstörungen, Schwanken, Stolpern oder Umfallen äußert. Ursachen sind vielfältig (angeboren, Infektionen, Verletzungen). Viele betroffene Katzen können trotz der Behinderung mit angepasster Umgebung (rutschfeste Böden, gepolsterte Möbel) ein schmerzfreies, glückliches Leben führen. Durch Physio hat sich sein Gangbild schon massiv verbessert und es wäre sicher schön, wenn diese weitehin durchgeführt werden könnte. Bei Interesse füllen Sie bitte den Fragebogen für Frau Heinrichs aus, vielen Dank. Ich interessiere mich für diese Katze Weitere Katzen entdecken

About Bruno und/oder Benny

What life with Bruno und/oder Benny looks like

Bruno und/oder Benny is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund Köln in Köln.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bruno und/oder Benny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno und/oder Benny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzbund Köln handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bruno und/oder Benny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bruno und/oder Benny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzbund Köln 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bruno und/oder Benny 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 und/oder Benny 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 Katzenschutzbund Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bruno und/oder Benny 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.
