Adopt In eigener Sache

Mixed Breed · Unknown

How does an animal protection association actually finance itself? Tierhilfe Weidenberg is a non-profit association and mainly depends on donations. We receive a relatively small portion through annual membership fees (€24 for adults, €36 for a family, €12 for retirees and Hartz IV recipients). The German Animal Protection Federation supports us with neutering funds, which we have to apply for by submitting appropriate documents (veterinary invoices for the castration of stray cats). Tierhilfe Weidenberg tries to generate important money through various market appearances (flea markets, annual markets, Christmas markets, etc.). Increasingly, private individuals approach us with the request to take over the veterinary costs incurred for their own animals. We ask for understanding that we have to reject these requests every time! We explain the reason with an example: On the day of German Unity, we took part in the animal protection flea market in Horb an der Main. Two Saturdays before this event, we sorted our warehouse hall and packed the selected goods with several members. The day before the market, the items were loaded into several cars. On 03.10., we left at 7:00 a.m. with 11 people (one-way trip one hour), set up the stand, stayed until 4:00 p.m. in the cold at the market, took everything down, drove back home for one hour, and returned the goods to our warehouse. At the end of the day, there was a total of €120,- in the cash register, which is barely enough for the treatment of one tomcat (vaccination, castration, deworming). Currently, we are again overwhelmed by a wave of kittens, both small and larger ones. All these mouths must be fed, the health of the many little furry paws must be checked and supported by a veterinarian. Therefore, we kindly ask to refrain from private inquiries. We cannot and will not spend money on animals that are not from the animal shelter.

Wie finanziert sich eigentlich ein Tierschutzverein ????? Die Tierhilfe Weidenberg ist als gemeinnütziger Verein in erster Linie auf Spendengelder angewiesen. Einen relativ geringen Anteil erhalten wir durch die jährlichen Mitgliedsbeiträge (€ 24,- für Erwachsene, € 36,- für eine Familie, € 12,- für Rentner und Hartz IV Empfänger). Der Dt. Tierschutzbund unterstützt uns des Weiteren mit Kastrationsgeldern, die wir jedoch unter Vorlage entsprechender Nachweise (Tierarztrechnungen über Kastrationen freilebender Katzen) beantragen müssen. Die Tierhilfe Weidenberg versucht, mittels diverser Marktauftritte (Floh-/Jahr-/Weihnachtsmärkte, Tierheimfeste, etc.) wichtige Gelder einzunehmen. Immer öfter treten Privatpersonen mit der Bitte um Übernahme der für ihre eigenen Tiere angefallenen Tierarztkosten an uns heran. Wir bitten um Verständnis, dass wir diese Anfragen stets ablehnen müssen! Anhand eines Beispiels zeigen wir den Grund dafür auf: Am Tag der Dt. Einheit nahmen wir am Tierschutzflohmarkt in Horb a. Main statt. Diesem Termin gingen 2 Samstage voran, an denen wir mit mehreren Mitgliedern unsere Lagerhalle sortierten sowie die ausgewählten Ware verpackten. Am Vortag des Marktes wurden die Artikel in mehrere Autos verstaut. Am 03.10. fuhren wir mit 11 Leuten morgens um 07:00 h los (einfache Fahrt 1 Stunde), bauten den Stand auf, verweilten bis 16.00 h in der Kälte am Markt, bauten ab, fuhren wieder eine Stunde nach Hause und brachten die Waren uns Lager zurück. In der Kasse befand sich am Ende des Tages ein Betrag von sage und schreibe € 120,-, der allenfalls für die Behandlung EINES Katers (Impfen, Kastrieren, Entwurmen) ausreicht. Aktuell überrollt uns wieder eine Kittenwelle mit ganz kleinen und größeren Kätzchen. All diese Mäuler müssen gestopft, die Gesundheit der vielen Samtpfötchen tierärztlich geprüft und unterstützt werden. Von Privatanfragen bitten wir deshalb bitte dringend abzusehen. Wir können und werden kein Geld für Tiere ausgeben, die nicht von der Ti

About In eigener Sache

What life with In eigener Sache looks like

In eigener Sache is a small adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierhilfe Weidenberg in Germany.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows In eigener Sache far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 In eigener Sache, answered.

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