Adopt Muggle

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Muggle came to us as a young stray and has not been missed. Now he is neutered and vaccinated and ready for a fresh start. He shows himself to be very people-oriented and active. He is very confident and charming and knows how to use these traits to his advantage. Muggle is quite a rough smusher and tends to give love bites. He needs people who can handle confident cats. In return, he offers a great lifelong buddy who is sure to bring plenty of fun to any home. Muggle wishes for freedom and no fellow animals in his new home. This cat needs outdoor access.

Muggle kam als junger Fundkater zu uns und wurde nicht vermisst. Mittlerweile ist er kastriert und geimpft und bereit für einen Neustart. Hier zeigt er sich sehr menschenbezogen und aktiv. Dabei ist er sehr selbstbewusst und charmant und weiß diese Charakterzüge auch für sich zu nutzen. Muggle ist ein ziemlich grober Schmuser und neigt zu Liebesbissen. Er benötigt Menschen, die mit selbstbewussten Katzen umgehen können. Dafür bekommt man einen tollen Kumpel fürs Leben, der mit Sicherheit für jeden Spaß zu haben ist. Muggle wünscht sich Freigang und keine Artgenossen im neuen Zuhause.

About Muggle

What life with Muggle looks like

Muggle is a young adult european shorthair 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 Muggle, answered.

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