Kibo

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten

Kibo was very lucky to be found. The little cat was stuck in a tree branch and his hind legs were already very cold. With intensive care and his great bravery, he was able to recover completely. Today he can run, jump and play again just like normal. When Kibo came to the cat room, he was initially overwhelmed and looked for a way out. The other cats calmed him down quickly and took care of him. Kibo still needs some time to get used to people and wants to escape at first. As soon as he gets to know someone better, he likes to be petted. We are looking for a new home for the little fighter with later safe outdoor access. It would be ideal if he could live with other cats that he could orient himself around. Not too boisterous children are not a problem for Kibo.

DE·Show original

Kibo hatte großes Glück, dass er gefunden wurde. Der kleine Kater hing in einer Astgabelung fest und seine Hinterbeine waren bereits sehr kalt. Mit intensiver Pflege und seiner großen Tapferkeit konnte er vollständig genesen. Heute kann er wieder ganz normal laufen, springen und toben. Als Kibo ins Katzenzimmer kam, war er zunächst überfordert und suchte nach einem Ausweg. Die anderen Katzen beruhigten ihn schnell und kümmerten sich um ihn. Bei Menschen braucht Kibo noch etwas Eingewöhnungszeit und möchte anfangs flüchten. Sobald er jemanden besser kennt, lässt er sich gerne streicheln. Wir suchen für den kleinen Kämpfer ein neues Zuhause mit späterem sicheren Freigang. Ideal wäre es, wenn er mit anderen Katzen zusammenleben könnte, an denen er sich orientieren kann. Nicht zu stürmische Kinder sind für Kibo kein Problem.

About Kibo

What life with Kibo looks like

Kibo is a large puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn in Germany.

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 Kibo, answered.

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