Cotton Eye Joe

Male · Baby · 8 months

Cotton Eye Joe kam als Fundtier zu uns, er hatte eine schlimme Bissverletzung am Lid, das wirklich toll von unserem Tierarzt versorgt wurde- man sieht davon gar nichts mehr, damit hätten wir nicht gerechnet, denn das Lid hing in Fetzen am Auge.Cotton Eye Joe ist ein total lustiges und aufgeschlossenes Kaninchen, er hat immer was zu tun und springt sehr gerne. Dies wurde dem Pechvogel dann bei uns im Gehege zum Verhängnis, denn er verunfallte und hat sich das Vorderbein gebrochen. Leider gar es hier keine Chance, diese Frakturen operativ zu versorgen- so blieb nur die Amputation des Vorderbeines.Aber dies ist für Cotton Eye Joe mal überhaupt kein Problem, zwei Tage nach der OP hat er schon wieder versucht, auf sein Schlafhaus zu hüpfen.Unser lustiger schwarzer großer Bub ist ca 8 Monate alt und kastriert. Er hätte gerne ein neues Zuhause in vorzugsweiser Innenhaltung, natürlich bei einem anderen Kaninchen.

About Cotton Eye Joe

What life with Cotton Eye Joe looks like

Cotton Eye Joe is a large puppy/kitten rabbit waiting at Tierheim Frankenthal in Germany.

Rabbits are social animals — most shelters recommend adopting them in bonded pairs rather than alone. They need fresh hay daily, several hours of out-of-cage time, and rabbit-safe spaces to explore. They live eight to twelve years, longer than many people expect.

🇩🇪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 Cotton Eye Joe, answered.

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