Kovu

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Kovu kam aus einer Sicherstellung mit seiner Mama, Tante, Schwester und einigen Halbgeschwistern. Der kleine Kerl spaziert munter und aufgeschlossen auf jeden Menschen zu und zeigt sich durchweg nett und verspielt. Kovu und Yuna sitzen leider schon eine ganze Weile bei uns und wünschen sich nichts sehnlichster als endlich in ihr neues Zuhause zu ziehen. Die zwei Geschwister suchen ein gemeinsames Zuhause mit der Option zum Freigang in eher ländlicher Umgebung.

About Kovu

What life with Kovu looks like

Kovu 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 Kovu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kovu?
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 Kovu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kovu 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 Kovu 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 Kovu 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 Kovu 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.
