Jonas

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Jonas is one of our many found animals looking for a new home from here. He is playful, nice and also a bit cheeky, typical young cat. He is compatible with his own kind and has a lot of energy, so he is looking for a home where a partner, preferably of the same age, is available. After neutering and the adjustment period, he needs the option to go outside.

DE·Show original

Auch Jonas ist einer unserer vielen Fundtiere, welche von hier aus nach einem neuen Zuhause suchen. Er ist verspielt, nett und auch ein wenig frech, typisch Jungkatze eben. Er ist verträglich mit Artgenossen und hat viele Hummeln im Hintern, daher sucht er ein Zuhause, wo ein Partner, gerne im gleichen Alter, vorhanden ist. Nach der Kastration und der Eingewöhnungszeit braucht er die Option zum Freigang.

About Jonas

What life with Jonas looks like

Jonas is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Jonas, answered.

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