Leon

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

This young handsome cat is named Leon and is approximately 1 year old. He does not seem to get along well with other cats and provokes the resident cat for no reason. Therefore, we are looking for a home where Leon can be an only prince. With dogs he seems to have no problem, it even looks like he is seeking contact with the female dog living there. In any case, he seems to like her. He also likes people, but he does not like being picked up, that's just not his thing. After a proper adjustment period, Leon will definitely want outdoor access in his new home again. Leon is placed through the Ibbenbüren and Surroundings Animal Welfare Society with a protection contract and adoption fee. If you are interested, please contact Christa at .

Dieser junge hübsche Kater heißt Leon und ist ca. 1 Jahr alt. Er kommt mit anderen Katzen offensichtlich nicht so gut klar und provoziert die dort lebende Katze grundlos. Daher suchen wir für Leon ein Zuhause, wo er Einzelprinz sein kann. Mit Hunden scheint er kein Problem zu haben, es sieht sogar schon fast so aus, als ob er zu der dort lebenden Hündin Kontakt sucht. Auf jeden Fall scheint er sie zu mögen. Menschen mag er auch, nur auf den Arm sollte man ihn nicht nehmen, dass mag er so gar nicht. Nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit wünscht Leon sich in seinem neuen Zuhause auf jeden Fall wieder Freigang. Leon wird mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr über den Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren und Umgebung e. V. vermittelt. Bei Interesse meldet euch gerne bei Christa unter .

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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 Leon, answered.

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