Kimba

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Kimba, born in September 2019 and neutered, has unfortunately not had an easy life so far. He has already landed in the animal shelter three times and has never been able to truly settle in. That's why we now sincerely wish for him to have a permanent place – a quiet home where he can simply be himself. Kimba is not a typical cuddly kitten. He is a sensitive and character-strong tomcat who knows exactly what he wants and what he doesn't. When he seeks proximity, he can be cuddly and clingy – but he is equally clear about when he has had enough. His people should therefore bring understanding for cats with character and give him the space he needs. Kimba knows the contact with other cats, but we wish for him a home as a single cat. Other animals or children should not live in the household. Kimba needs one thing above all: peace, patience, and a stable environment without chaos. Unfortunately, a shadow on the lung was detected in Kimba. Whether it is a scar from an old infection or a tumor-like change, it cannot be said for certain at this time. So we hope that Kimba finds people who will give him a loving ending despite this uncertainty. We are not looking for perfection for Kimba – but people with hearts who will give him the chance to finally settle in and spend his twilight years in security.

Kimba, geboren im September 2019 und kastriert, hatte es in seinem bisherigen Leben leider nicht leicht. Bereits dreimal ist er im Tierheim gelandet und durfte bisher nie wirklich ankommen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns nun von Herzen einen endgültigen Platz für ihn – ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er einfach er selbst sein darf.Kimba ist kein typischer Schmusekater. Er ist ein sensibler und charakterstarker Kater, der sehr genau weiß, was er möchte und was nicht. Wenn er Nähe sucht, kann er durchaus verschmust und anhänglich sein – doch genauso klar zeigt er auch, wenn ihm etwas zu viel wird. Seine Menschen sollten daher Verständnis für Katzen mit Charakter mitbringen und ihm den Freiraum geben, den er braucht.Den Kontakt zu anderen Katzen kennt Kimba zwar, dennoch wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause als Einzelkater. Auch weitere Tiere oder Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Kimba braucht vor allem eines: Ruhe, Geduld und ein stabiles Umfeld ohne Trubel.Leider wurde bei Kimba ein Schatten auf der Lunge festgestellt. Ob es sich dabei um eine Narbe einer alten Infektion oder um eine tumoröse Veränderung handelt, kann derzeit nicht sicher gesagt werden. Umso mehr hoffen wir, dass Kimba Menschen findet, die ihm trotz dieser Ungewissheit eine liebevolle Endstelle schenken möchten.Für Kimba suchen wir keine Perfektion – sondern Menschen mit Herz, die ihm die Chance geben, endlich anzukommen und seinen Lebensabend in Geborgenheit zu verbringen.

About Kimba

What life with Kimba looks like

Kimba is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Lübbersdorf 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 Kimba, answered.

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