Fortuna

Female · Young · 1 year

Fortuna was originally a found animal at the Karlsruhe animal shelter and then came to us. She currently lives with Astoria and Cruella. Alternatively, she can also move to an existing rabbit. She is very open-minded and curious with people, following the motto "in the thick of it instead of just being there." However, as a typical escape animal, she does not want to be crowded or picked up. If something doesn't suit her, she will also defend herself in case of need. If Fortuna has piqued your interest, we look forward to a meaningful email with pictures of the future living situation. We only mediate in species-appropriate care (2 rabbits need at least 6m² permanently) and not in single-animal care. General inquiries:

Fortuna kam ursprüngliche als Fundtier ins Tierheim Karlsruhe und von dort aus dann zu uns. Bei uns lebt sie aktuell zusammen mit Astoria und Cruella. Alternativ kann sie auch zu einem bereits vorhandenen Kaninchen ziehen. Mit Menschen ist sie sehr aufgeschlossen und neugierig ganz nach dem Motto mittendrin statt nur dabei. Sie möchte aber typisch Fluchttier nicht bedrängt oder hochgenommen werden. Wenn ihr etwas nicht passt wehrt sie sich im Notfall sonst auch mal. Wenn Fortuna Ihr Interesse geweckt hat freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftig Email mit Bildern der zukünftigen Haltung. Wir vermitteln grundsätzlich nur in artgerechte Haltung (2 Kaninchen benötigen dauerhaft min. 6m²) und nicht in Einzelhaltung. Allgemeine Interessentenanfrage:

About Fortuna

What life with Fortuna looks like

Fortuna is a small young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

Rabbits are social animals — most shelters recommend adopting them in bonded pairs rather than alone. They need fresh hay daily, several hours of out-of-cage time, and rabbit-safe spaces to explore. They live eight to twelve years, longer than many people expect.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fortuna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fortuna?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ettlingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fortuna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fortuna if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a rabbit can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierheim Ettlingen what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Fortuna already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a rabbit comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierheim Ettlingen directly what is included and what Fortuna still needs.
What happens if Fortuna 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 Ettlingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fortuna 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.
