How do I contact the shelter about Diebels?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Diebels on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Diebels if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Diebels 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 Diebels 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Diebels 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.

Diebels

British Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Diebels is a somewhat "invisible" BKH mix cat who came to us from a larger seizure by the Veterinary Office... Like his friends, he is an unsociable cat at first impression, as the approximately 3-year-old Diebels does not actively approach visitors but rather hopes in his protected cave that someone will see him eventually. If someone looks carefully through the cave opening and approaches gently, Diebels also allows contact - it just takes time! The black and white cat is incredibly social and relaxed with other cats, so every furry face is welcome! With familiar humans and especially a friendly feline partner, Diebels will quickly gain trust with some treats and become a great companion. Desired home: We are looking for a quiet home for Diebels in a family with or without children (if children, then cat-experienced and not too small) - preferably with later traffic calmed outdoor access or secured balcony.

– wartet auf seine Chance Status: offen Name: Diebels Rasse: BKH Mix Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Farbe: schwarz weiß Alter: 3 Jahre Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Diebels ist ein etwas „unsichtbarer“ BKH-Mix Kater, der aus einer größeren Sicherstellung des Veterinäramtes zu uns gekommen ist…. Wie auch seine Freunde ist er im ersten Eindruck ein eher unsichtbarer Kater, denn der ca 3 Jahre alte Diebels kommt nicht aktiv auf Besucher zu, sondern hofft lieber in der geschützten Höhle darauf, dass ihn irgendwann jemand sieht. Schaut jemand vorsichtig durch die Höhlenöffnung und nähert sich behutsam an, lässt auch Diebels den Kontakt zu – es braucht halt alles seine Zeit! Mit Artgenossen ist der schwarz-weiße Kater unglaublich sozial und entspannt, da ist jede Fellnase willkommen! Bei immer denselben Lieblingsmenschen und insbesondere einem freundlichen Artgenossen als Partner wird auch Diebels unter Zutun von dem einen oder anderen Leckerchen schnell Vertrauen fassen und zu einem tollen Partnerkater mutieren. Wunschzuhause: Für Diebels suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause in einer Familie mit oder ohne Kinder (wenn Kinder, dann katzenerfahren und nicht mehr allzu klein) – gern mit späterem verkehrsberuhigtem Freigang oder gesichertem Balkon. Kontakt: Anja Kalisch,
