Ivo

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 1 year

The brothers Ivo and Ivan came to the animal shelter with their mother as found animals. After a quarantine period, they were vaccinated and were allowed to move into the cattery. Problems in the mouth cavities were detected in both cats. A swab test came back positive for caliciviruses. At the moment, they are doing well and do not yet require treatment. Ivo and Ivan get along well with other cats but show little interest in them. When other cats come to them, they are happy to cuddle and play. Ivo is more reserved and keeps to himself, while Ivan is happy to be everywhere. We are looking for a shared home for the two or separate homes with other cats, suitable for apartment living. A later secure release is possible. Children or additional fellow animals are also no problem. Since their mother is a Scottish Fold and Ivan shows typical characteristics of this breed, potential future veterinary costs should be considered. Our animal caretakers are happy to provide more information. This cat needs outdoor access.

Die Brüder Ivo und Ivan kamen zusammen mit ihrer Mutter als Fundtiere ins Tierheim. Nach einer Quarantänezeit wurden sie geimpft und durften ins Katzenhaus ziehen. Bei beiden Katzen wurden Probleme in der Maulhöhle festgestellt. Ein Abstrich ergab einen positiven Befund auf Caliciviren. Im Moment kommen sie gut damit zurecht und brauchen noch keine Behandlung. Ivo und Ivan verstehen sich gut mit anderen Katzen, zeigen aber wenig Interesse an ihnen. Wenn andere Katzen zu ihnen kommen, kuscheln und spielen sie gern. Ivo ist eher zurückhaltend und für sich, während Ivan gerne überall dabei ist. Für die beiden suchen wir ein gemeinsames Zuhause oder auch getrennt mit anderen Katzen in Wohnungshaltung. Späterer sicherer Freigang ist möglich. Auch Kinder oder weitere Artgenossen sind kein Problem. Da ihre Mutter eine Scottish Fold ist und Ivan typische Merkmale dieser Rasse zeigt, sollten mögliche spätere Tierarztkosten bedacht werden. Unsere Tierpfleger geben dazu gern weitere Informationen.

About Ivo

What life with Ivo looks like

Ivo is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn 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 Ivo, answered.

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