Marcel & Nula

Male · Young · 2 years

This is our Marcel – a large, fluffy rabbit with a calm temperament. He belongs to our "Schnupfer" group (rabbits with chronic sniffles), but he doesn't let it rattle him. Marcel is a gentle giant who needs some time to build trust. With patience and a loving home, he will thaw out quickly and show his cuddly side. Care is needed with his diet: too much cabbage or vegetables doesn't agree with him and quickly goes to the hips. That's why he is on a diet with us – and this should be continued in his future home. Marcel originally came to us as a found animal and is now waiting for a warm spot where he can settle down and receive the attention he deserves. Our sweet Nula was born right here at the shelter on 07.05.2025. Her character is cautious, and she quickly becomes unsettled when something new happens. She simply needs a little more time to build trust. Petting is still difficult for her at the moment, but with patience and understanding she will certainly become braver step by step. Marcel and Nula have found each other – and they get along wonderfully. They love spending time together and give each other security. That is why the two of them are only placed together.

Das ist unser Marcel – ein großes, flauschiges Kaninchen mit ruhigem Wesen. Er gehört zu unseren „Schnupfern“, lässt sich davon jedoch nicht aus der Ruhe bringen. Marcel ist ein sanfter Riese, der etwas Zeit benötigt, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit Geduld und einem liebevollen Zuhause wird er schnell auftauen und seine verschmuste Seite zeigen. Bei seiner Ernährung ist Vorsicht geboten: Zu viel Kohl oder Gemüse bekommt ihm nicht und setzt schnell auf die Hüften. Deshalb steht er bei uns auf Diät – und das sollte in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause beibehalten werden. Ursprünglich kam Marcel als Fundtier zu uns und wartet nun auf ein warmes Plätzchen, an dem er zur Ruhe kommen darf und die Zuwendung bekommt, die er verdient. Unsere süße Nula wurde am 07.05.2025 direkt bei uns im Tierheim geboren. Sie ist vom Charakter her vorsichtig und schnell verunsichert, wenn etwas Neues passiert. Sie braucht einfach etwas mehr Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Streicheleinheiten sind im Moment noch schwierig, doch mit Geduld und Verständnis wird sie sicher Schritt für Schritt mutiger. Marcel und Nula haben sich gefunden – und finden sich großartig. Sie verbringen sehr gerne Zeit miteinander und geben sich gegenseitig Halt. Daher werden die Beiden bei uns nur gemeinsam vermittelt.

About Marcel & Nula

What life with Marcel & Nula looks like

Marcel & Nula is an extra-large young adult rabbit waiting at Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. in Leverkusen.

Rabbits are social animals — most shelters recommend adopting them in bonded pairs rather than alone. They need fresh hay daily, several hours of out-of-cage time, and rabbit-safe spaces to explore. They live eight to twelve years, longer than many people expect.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marcel & Nula, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marcel & Nula?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marcel & Nula on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marcel & Nula if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a rabbit can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Marcel & Nula already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a rabbit comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. directly what is included and what Marcel & Nula still needs.
What happens if Marcel & Nula 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 Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marcel & Nula 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.
