How do I contact the shelter about Dobby?

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

Can I adopt Dobby if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen e.V. 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 Dobby 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 Dobby 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dobby 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.

Dobby

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Gender: male, neutered foster home: Romania (Barlad) born: ca. May 2024 Special: no character: playful, social (not suitable for single cat living!) Meow! Hello dear people, I am tomcat Dobby and wish for a home. Let me tell you about my past life. I was found by a kind animal rescuer right in front of a shop on a main road. Very dangerous for cats! When she approached me, she noticed I had a band around my neck and eyes as well as my mouth. If she hadn't found me, I might not be here. Now I am living with this kind person and turn everything upside down, I am a real whirlwind. For this reason, I also wish for a playful tomcat or cat to share my new home. I am definitely not a single cat. If you don't already have a cat at home, I would also like to bring someone from my foster home with me – ask my matchmaker who is a good fit for me. I can't wait to hear from you! Until hopefully soon!

Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Pflegestelle: Rumänien (Barlad) geb. ca. Mai 2024 Besonderheit: keine Charakter: verspielt, sozial (keine Einzelhaltung!) Miau! Hallo ihr lieben Leute, ich bin Kater Dobby und wünsche mir ein Zuhause. Lasst mich von meinem bisherigen Leben berichten. Gefunden wurde ich von einer lieben Tierschützerin vor einem Laden direkt an einer Hauptverkehrsstraße. Sehr gefährlich für Katzen! Als ich mich ihr näherte bemerkte sie, dass ich ein Band um meinen Hals und Augen sowie meinem Maul hatte. Wenn sie mich nicht gefunden hätte, wer weiß ob ich noch leben würde. Mittlerweile bin ich bei dieser lieben Person eingezogen und stelle alles ein bisschen auf den Kopf, ich bin ein richtiger Wirbelwind. Aus diesem Grund wünsche ich mir auch unbedingt einen passenden verspielten Kater oder Katze in meinem neuen Zuhause. Ich bin definitiv keine Einzelkatze. Wenn du noch keine Katze bei dir Zuhause hast bringe ich auch gern jemanden aus meiner Pflegestelle mit – frag meine Vermittlerin wer zu mir passt. Ich freue mich schon so sehr auf eine Nachricht von dir! Bis hoffentlich bald! Dein Dobby

About Dobby

What life with Dobby looks like

Dobby is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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.
