How do I contact the shelter about Fine?

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

Can I adopt Fine if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren 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 Fine 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 Fine 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 Ibbenbüren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fine 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.

Fine

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 6 months

Our little Fine is just about 12 weeks old and has already had quite a bit to go through in her short life. When Fine was found, she was very, very underweight and in a really bad condition. But the little mouse has fought! She has now recovered wonderfully, gained a lot of weight and shows what a great little fighter she is. Now all she needs is one thing: a loving home where she can finally arrive. Fine is still a little kitten and therefore urgently needs a playmate and cuddle buddy of the same age. Our kittens are not placed in single housing. Fine would very much like to move in with an existing, suitable kitten. Maybe she will even find her new home together with Elsa, Princess or Toffee - these little mice are also looking for their families. A prior meeting is expressly desired. After everything Fine has been through, we now only wish for her one thing: a home full of love, security and lots of cat happiness. She is placed with a contract and deposit through the Ibbenbüren and Surroundings Animal Welfare Society e. V. If you are interested, please contact Petra at .

Unsere kleine Fine ist gerade einmal etwa 12 Wochen alt und hat in ihrem kurzen Leben schon einiges durchmachen müssen. Als Fine gefunden wurde, war sie sehr, sehr abgemagert und in einem wirklich schlechten Zustand. Doch die kleine Maus hat gekämpft! Mittlerweile hat sie sich wunderbar erholt, ordentlich zugenommen und zeigt, was für eine tolle kleine Kämpferin in ihr steckt. Jetzt fehlt ihr nur noch eines: ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen darf. Fine ist noch ein kleines Kitten und braucht deshalb unbedingt einen gleichaltrigen Spiel- und Kuschelpartner. Unsere Kitten werden nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt. Fine darf sehr gerne zu einem bereits vorhandenen, passenden Kitten ziehen. Vielleicht findet sie ja sogar gemeinsam mit Elsa, Prinzessin oder Toffee ihr neues Zuhause – auch diese kleinen Mäuse suchen noch ihre Familien. Ein vorheriges Kennenlernen ist ausdrücklich erwünscht. Nach allem, was Fine hinter sich hat, wünschen wir uns für sie nun nur noch eines: ein Zuhause voller Liebe, Sicherheit und ganz viel Katzenglück. wird mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr über den Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren und Umgebung e. V. vermittelt. Bei Interesse meldet euch gerne bei Petra unter .

About Fine

What life with Fine looks like

Fine is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
