Adopt Franzi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

This pretty black beauty is named Franzi and was born around early June 2023. She is still quite shy, but she already eats from the hand and in a good moment, you can even touch her. She is very confident with other animals and chooses her buddies carefully. She tends to prefer tomcats. Therefore, it would be nice if there is at least one tomcat in her new home, or if she could move out with a tomcat. Franzi will be rehomed with V. If you are interested, please feel free to contact Silvia at .

Diese hübsche schwarze Schönheit heißt Franzi und wurde ca. Anfang Juni 2023 geboren. Sie ist noch recht scheu, frisst aber schon aus der Hand und in einem guten Moment kann man sie auch anfassen. Gegenüber Tieren ist sie sehr selbstbewusst und sucht sich ihre Kumpels aus. Wobei sie dabei eher zu Katern neigt. Daher wäre es schön, wenn in ihrem neuen Zuhause mindestens ein Kater lebt oder sie mit einem Kater zusammen ausziehen. Franzi wird mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr über den Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren und Umgebung e. V. vermittelt. Bei Interesse meldet euch gerne bei Silvia unter .

About Franzi

What life with Franzi looks like

Franzi is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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 Franzi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Franzi?
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 Franzi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Franzi 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 Franzi 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 Franzi 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 Franzi 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.
