Kessy

Unknown · Kitten · 9 months

The young Kessy is, as her name suggests, a very playful young cat who needs to get to know visitors first before playing with them extensively. She then quickly shows herself to be very affectionate. Kessy wants a loving home with cat friends who can take good care of her. A spacious apartment with climbing opportunities will probably be enough for her. Kessy wants a playful feline companion of the same age to be happy. She still needs to be spayed soon.

DE·Show original

Die junge Kessy ist, wie ihr Name schon sagt ein ganz kesse Jungkatze, die Besucher erst kurz kennenlernen muss, um dann mit ihnen ausgiebig zu spielen. Sie zeigt sich dann auch schnell sehr verschmust. Kessy wünscht sich zum Glücklichsein ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Katzenfreunden, die sich ausgiebig um sie kümmern können. Eine geräumige Wohnung mit Klettermöglichkeiten wird ihr dann vermutlich ausreichen. Kessy wünscht sich eine gleichaltrige verspielte Samtpfote zum Glücklichsein. Sie muss demnächst noch kastriert werden.

About Kessy

What life with Kessy looks like

Kessy is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Bocholt in Bocholt.

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 Kessy, answered.

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