How do I contact the shelter about IKKE?

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

Can I adopt IKKE if I live in another country?

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

IKKE

Male · Senior · 12 years

Ikke is waiting with us for his chance at a home of his own, where he can experience a few more years of love and security and come to rest. Unfortunately, he has been marked by his previous life and has some issues: FIV, which is transmitted through bite injuries, hardly any teeth (he must be checked by the doctor once a year to see if more need to come out) and an enlarged kidney. Although his kidney values are still within the range, he should already be receiving precautionary medication and kidney food. He has probably gone through a lot, but he is still affectionate and trusts quickly... A loving home with secure outdoor access or a balcony is being sought for Ikke. Since he is very peaceful and loving, we assume that cat company from another calm and peaceful fellow (possibly also with FIV?) would be very good. Who still has a place for this mega loving cat, who enjoys caresses and all attention? Our cats are vaccinated, chipped and dewormed against a deposit and protection contract through the Osnabrück Cat Protection Association. We are very excited about your contact! Until you get to know your desired candidate personally, observe Ikke online via the webcams on (Room A2 and enclosure). You can also find news about many of our protégés, including photos and videos, on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or on our YouTube Channel Katzenschutzbund Osnabrück e.V. There is always something going on in our cat house!

Auch Ikke wartet bei uns auf seine Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause, wo er noch ein paar Jährchen Liebe und Geborgenheit erfährt und zur Ruhe kommen kann. Leider ist er von seinem bisherigen Leben gezeichnet und hat einige Baustellen: FIV, was durch Bissverletzungen übertragen wird, kaum noch Zähne (ein Mal pro Jahr muss vom Arzt gecheckt werden, ob noch weitere raus müssen) und eine vergrößerte Niere. Die Nierenwerte sind zwar noch im Rahmen, aber er sollte schon jetzt vorsorgliche Medikamente und Nierenfutter bekommen. Er hat wohl schon so einiges mitgemacht, ist aber trotzdem anhänglich und fasst schnell Vertrauen… Gesucht wird für Ikke ein liebevolles Zuhause mit gesichertem Freigang oder Balkon. Da er sehr friedlich und lieb ist, gehen wir davon aus, dass Katzengesellschaft von einem anderen ruhigen und friedlichen Artgenossen (evtl. auch mit FIV?) sehr gut wäre. Wer hat noch ein Plätzchen für diesen mega lieben Kater, der Streicheleinheiten und jede Aufmerksamkeit so genießt? Unsere Katzen werden geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt gegen Schutzgebühr und Schutzvertrag über den Katzenschutzbund Osnabrück abgegeben. Wir freuen uns sehr auf Ihre Kontaktaufnahme! Bis Sie Ihren Wunschkandidaten persönlich kennenlernen, beobachten Sie doch Ikke online über die Webcams auf (Raum A2 und Gehege). Neuigkeiten über viele unserer Schützlinge inkl. Fotos und Videos finden Sie natürlich auch bei Instagram, Facebook, TikTok oder auf unserem YouTube Channel Katzenschutzbund Osnabrück e.V. In unserem Miezhaus ist nämlich immer was los!

About IKKE

What life with IKKE looks like

IKKE is a senior cat waiting at Katzenschutzbund in Brüggen-Bracht.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
