Felix

European Shorthair · Male

Felix is the brother of Cleopatra, both or three (with their foster father Ufo) come from Turkey, where they were rescued from the streets and lovingly raised in a foster home. Felix is a still somewhat shy little fellow who likes to fight and wrestle. Therefore, he should be kept with a playmate of the same age, he should never be kept alone. He is too wild for his sister and she often flees outside from him. We have a cat flap, but Felix (still) doesn't use it. He likes to play with balls, which he also likes to carry around. He also quickly understood the scratching post and clears it quickly. Otherwise, he is a quiet representative who does not yet trust humans 100%. All three can be visited at our shelter. The release only takes place after a personal preliminary check.

DE·Show original

Felix ist der Bruder von Kleopatra, beide bzw. drei (mit ihrem Ziehvater Ufo) stammen aus der Türkei, wo sie von der Straße gerettet und in einer Pflegestelle liebevoll aufgezogen wurden. Felix ist ein noch etwas handscheuer kleiner Kerl, der gerne rauft und tobt. Von daher sollte er zu einem gleichaltrigen Kumpel, keinesfalls sollte er allein gehalten werden. Seiner Schwester ist er zu wild und sie flüchtet oft vor ihm nach draußen. Wir haben eine Katzenklappe, durch die Felix aber (noch) nicht geht. Er spielt gerne mit Bällchen, die er auch gerne herumträgt. Auch das Fummelbrett hat er schnell kapiert und räumt es schnell leer. Ansonsten ist er ein ruhiger Vertreter, der dem Menschen noch nicht zu 100 % vertraut. Gerne können alle drei bei uns besucht werden. Die Abgabe erfolgt nur nach persönlicher Vorkontrolle.

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Burgdorf in Burgdorf.

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 Felix, answered.

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