Kiv

Female · Young · 2 years

Kiv kam als Fundtier zu uns, zu unserer Überraschung war sie auch gechippt. Trotzdem hat sie nie jemand vermisst. Dementsprechend macht sie jetzt von hier einen Neustart. Alles neue und auch neue Menschen findet sie erstmal ein wenig unheimlich, das legt sich aber schnell und sie genießt dann die Aufmerksamkeit und Kuscheleinheiten. Ob sie verträglich mit Artgenossen ist, können wir aktuell nur schwer sagen, wenn sollte es aber keiner sein, der sie bedrängt. Kiv sucht nach einem Zuhause mit der Option zum Freigang.

About Kiv

What life with Kiv looks like

Kiv is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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 Kiv, answered.

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