How do I contact the shelter about Fontanus?

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

Can I adopt Fontanus if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung 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 Fontanus 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 Fontanus 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 Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fontanus 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.

Fontanus

Bengal · Male · Young · 3 years

A male, neutered cat, has been with us since 24.7.2026. He tends to urinary/bladder stones, so he needs special food to stay in top condition. He should not be kept alone and enjoys outdoor access or secure outdoor time. Personality: affectionate, cuddly, friendly, active The beautiful Bengal mix Fontanus is a real eye-catcher. The handsome cat with a mix of large Bengal spots and striped tiger patterns is not only visually stunning, but his personality is also enchanting. Not as extremely active as purebred Bengals, he has a bit more calmness, but still has many of the original Bengal characteristics that make him a fascinating mix. Fontanus is friendly, open, likes to chat, and loves to cuddle all day. He knows and likes other cats and would appreciate feline company, and he is used to outdoor access, so he should continue to have it. The 4-year-old cat tends to urinary/bladder stones, but these are well managed with the right food. Otherwise, he is fit and lively and ready to explore the world. His previous owner had to give him up because keeping him with multiple cats became too much.

Geschlecht: Kater, Kastriert Bei uns seit: 24.7.2026 Merkmale: Neigt zu Harn/Blasensteinen, benötigt entsprechendes Futter, damit aber topfit. Keine Einzelhaltung, gerne mit Freilauf oder gesicherten Freilauf. Charakter: Anhänglich, verschmust, zutraulich, aktiv Der bildschöne Bengalmix Fontanus ist ein wahrer Hingucker. Der stattliche Kater mit dem zum Teil großen Bengalflecken und zum Teil leinenTigerflecken ist aber nicht nur äusserlich ein wahres Juwel, sondern sein Charakter ist auch einfach zauberhaft. Nicht so extrem aktiv wie die reinrassigen Bengalen hat er etwas mehr die Ruhe weg, dennoch hat er viele ursprüngliche Charaktereigenschaften der Bengalen, die ihn zu einer faszinierenden Mischung machen. Fontanus ist freundlich, aufgeschlossen, erzählt gerne und kuschelt am liebsten den ganzen Tag. Andere Katzen kennt und mag er und er würde sich über kätzische Gesellschaft freuen, ebenso ist er Freigang gewohnt, weswegen er diesen weiterhin bekommen sollte. Der 4 jährige Kater neigt etwas zu Harn/Blasensteinen die aber hervorragend mit dem richtigen Futter im Griff gehalten werden. Ansonsten ist er fit uns munter und bereit die Welt zu entdecken. Seine vorherige Besitzerin musste ihn leider abgeben, da die Haltung mit mehreren Katzen etwas zu viel wurde.
