Adopt Fenix

Male

Fenix was dropped off with several cats because the owner found cat care overwhelming. Fenix is extremely stressed and completely overwhelmed at the animal shelter. He won't let anyone touch him and wants nothing to do with people. We don't know if he's had bad experiences before. A lot of patience and calm are needed. Fenix gets along well with other cats and having a confident cat by his side would definitely be helpful. Fenix is looking for a home where he can eventually have free roam. This animal was surrendered to the shelter. This cat needs outdoor access.

Read original (de)

Fenix wurde mit mehreren Katzen abgegeben, weil dem Halter die Haltung der Katzen über den Kopf gewachsen war. Fenix ist im Tierheim extrem gestresst und völlig überfordert mit der Situation. Er lässt sich gar nicht anfassen und möchte mit den Menschen nichts zu tun haben. Wir wissen nicht ob er eventuell schon schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat. Hier ist viel Geduld und Ruhe gefragt. Mit anderen Katzen versteht Fenix sich gut und eine souveräne Katze an seiner Seite wäre ihm sicherlich eine Hilfe. Fenix sucht ein zu Hause in dem er später auch Freigang bekommen kann.

About Fenix

What life with Fenix looks like

Fenix is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

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 Fenix, answered.

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