Adopt Funny

European Shorthair · Female

Funny came to us at the animal shelter as a stray cat after she had a serious accident. She suffered a pelvic fracture and a tail amputation – her tail had to be amputated. Funny has recovered very well and shows every day how much joy of life is in her. She loves people and enjoys every caress. She is clingy, open and likes to be right in the middle rather than just watching. Playing is just as important to her as cuddling. In order for Funny to truly enjoy her cat life, she will be rehomed together with another young cat from the animal shelter or with an existing (young) cat in the household. After an acclimatization period, we would like her to have free roaming so she can explore the world.

Funny kam als Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim, nachdem sie einen schweren Unfall hatte. Dabei erlitt sie einen Beckenbruch und einen Schwanzabriss – ihr Schwanz musste daraufhin leider amputiert werden. Funny hat sich sehr gut erholt und zeigt jeden Tag, wieviel Lebensfreude in ihr steckt. Sie liebt Menschen und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Sie ist anhänglich, offen und gern mittendrin statt nur dabei. Spielen gehört für sie genauso dazu wie Kuscheln. Damit Funny ihr Katzenleben richtig genießen kann wird sie zusammen mit einer anderen Jungkatze aus dem Tierheim oder zu einer schon im Haushalt lebenden (Jung-)Katze vermittelt. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit wünschen wir uns für sie Freigang, damit sie die Welt erkunden kann.

About Funny

What life with Funny looks like

Funny is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Bad Mergentheim in Germany.

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 Funny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Funny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Bad Mergentheim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Funny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Funny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Bad Mergentheim 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 Funny 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 Funny 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 Bad Mergentheim early rather than rehoming privately; they know Funny 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.
