How do I contact the shelter about Fibs?

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

Can I adopt Fibs if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Brandenburg an der Havel 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 Fibs 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 Fibs 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 Brandenburg an der Havel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fibs 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.

Fibs

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Fibs' varied character doesn't show his advanced age - he was born in 2013 - at all. Equipped with a dynamic, young mind full of spirit and an (in trust) very open nature, he is able to charm many people with his little paws. It is therefore hard to believe that this beautiful "heart-nosed tomcat" was surrendered to the animal shelter privately because he attacked his owner in a moment of shock (triggered by loud gunshots on TV). In the shelter, Fibs, on the other hand, is unobtrusive. He is extremely playful, curious, very talkative but also sensitive, especially in situations that are unfamiliar to him, in which case he withdraws and hides. Fibs knows his kind and gets along well with them, as long as they know how to behave. We are now looking for a loving new environment for Fibs with lots of space and preferably free roaming after acclimatization, with people who don't have small children, who give him space and peace and don't pressure him. If this small 1x1 of cat ownership is taken into account, Fibs is simply a real cat dream. Here you can go to the application form. *Note: Fibs suffered from tartar, so he received a veterinary dental treatment on 06.02.2024. © Tierschutzverein Brandenburg an der Havel e.V. © Tierschutzverein Brandenburg an der Havel e.V. | Disclaimer | Data Protection

Dem facettenreichen Fibs merkt man sein fortgeschrittenes Alter - er erblickte bereits 2013 das Licht der Welt - fast gar nicht an. Ausgestattet mit einem dynamischen, jungen Geist voller Esprit und einem (bei Vertrauen) sehr aufgeschlossenen Wesen vermag er es, so manchen Menschen um die kleinen Pfötchen zu wickeln. Kaum zu glauben ist daher, dass dieser wunderschöne "Herznasen-Kater" privat im Tierheim abgegeben wurde, weil er in einem Schreckmoment (ausgelöst durch laute Schussgeräusche im Fernseher) sein Frauchen angegriffen hat. Hier im Tierheim zeigt sich Fibs hingegen unauffällig. Er ist wahnsinnig verspielt, neugierig, sehr gesprächig aber auch sensibel, insbesondere in ihm unheimlichen Situationen, in denen er sich aber zurückzieht und versteckt. Seine Artgenossen kennt Fibs und kommt gut mit ihnen zurecht, solange sich diese zu benehmen wissen. Wir suchen für Fibs nun einen liebevollen neuen Schaffenskreis mit viel Platz und vorzugsweise Freilauf nach der Eingewöhnung bei Menschen ohne kleine Kinder, die ihm Raum und Ruhe geben und ihn nicht bedrängen. Wird dieses kleine 1x1 der Katzenhaltung berücksichtigt, ist Fibs einfach nur ein wahrer Katertraum. Hier gehts zum Bewerbungsformular. *Hinweis: Fibs litt unter Zahnstein, weshalb ihm am 06.02.2024 eine tierärztliche Zahnbehandlung zuteil wurde. © Tierschutzverein Brandenburg an der Havel e.V.

About Fibs

What life with Fibs looks like

Fibs is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Brandenburg an der Havel in Brandenburg.

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.
