Chewy

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Chewy was found and unfortunately not reported missing. With her in tow - her belly full of babies. Chewy was a good mother, although a bit too good. So she hardly let us near her kittens for the first 6 weeks. Now she is much more relaxed and shows herself again as before, namely nice and people-oriented. Chewy is looking for a home with outdoor access, possibly with one of her kittens, but also alone with a lot of human contact would be an option.

DE·Show original

Chewy wurde gefunden und leider nicht vermisst. Mit im Gepäck- der Bauch voller Babys. Chewy war eine gute Mutter, wenn auch etwas zu gut. So hat sie uns die ersten 6 Wochen kaum an ihre Kitten gelassen. Mittlerweile ist sie da deutlich gelassener und zeigt sich wieder wie zuvor, nämlich nett und menschenbezogen. Chewy sucht ein Zuhause mit Freigang evtl. mit eines ihrer Kitten, aber auch alleine mit viel Menschenkontakt wäre eine Option.

About Chewy

What life with Chewy looks like

Chewy is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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 Chewy, answered.

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