Kovu, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert)

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Kovu appeared at some point in the residential area by Tankumsee. Since none of the local residents knew him and he wasn't chipped either, he was brought to our animal shelter. Unfortunately, so far no one has come forward to say they're missing this sweet cat. That's why we're now looking for a loving new home for him. Kovu is very people-oriented and cuddly. With his cute little voice—which doesn't match his impressive appearance at all—he immediately wins everyone's heart. Kovu would love a family who spends lots of time cuddling and playing with him. Towards his fellow housemates, Kovu behaves peacefully and avoids confrontations. Later on, Kovu will need access to the outdoors again in his new home. If you'd like to get to know Kovu, please get in touch via or through the contact form. Your Name (required) Your Email Address (required) Subject Your Message

Kovu tauchte irgendwann im Wohngebiet am Tankumsee auf. Da ihn niemand der Anwohner dort kannte und er auch nicht gechipt war, wurde er zu uns ins Tierheim gebracht. Bisher hat sich leider niemand gemeldet, der den netten Kater vermisst. Deshalb suchen wir nun ein liebevolles neues Zuhause für ihn. Kovu ist sehr menschenbezogen und verschmust. Mit seiner niedlichen Stimme, die so gar nicht zu seiner imposanten Erscheinung passt, erobert er sofort sämtliche Herzen. Kovu wünscht sich eine Familie, die viel mit ihm kuschelt und spielt. Seinen Mitbewohnern gegenüber verhält sich Kovu friedfertig und Konfrontationen geht er aus dem Weg. Kovu benötigt später wieder Freigang in seinem neuen Zuhause.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kovu, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kovu, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kovu, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kovu, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel 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, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert) 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, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert) 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 Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kovu, ca. 2 Jahre (reserviert) 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.
