Pep

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

A male cat named Pep, born around March 2024, is available for adoption from a shelter in Bulgaria. He is neutered, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and has no known disabilities. Pep is compatible with children and cats but not dogs. He requires a home with no outdoor access, a secure balcony or patio if available. Virginia Georgieva, a shelter volunteer, rescued Pep from a neglected apartment where his owner had abandoned him without food, water, or any means of self-help. Virginia found Pep in the apartment, which was filled with dirt and neglect. Since then, Pep has been living at the shelter, receiving care and safety. Initially, Pep was malnourished and in poor physical condition, but he has since made a remarkable recovery. He is now friendly, sociable, and playful, getting along well with other cats. Pep has shown that he is more than just a rescued cat, and he is now looking for a loving home where he can experience happiness after his difficult past.

Tierschützerin: Virginia Georgieva geboren: ca. März 2024 Geschlecht: männlich Aufenthaltsort: Bulgarien kastriert: ja FIV-Test: negativ FeLV-Test: negativ Handicaps: keine verträglich mit: Kindern: nicht bekannt Katzen: ja Hunden: nicht bekannt Voraussetzungen: KEINE Einzelhaltung nur Wohnungshaltung, KEIN Freigang Balkon oder Terrasse wünschenswert (sofern vorhanden, ist die Sicherung erforderlich) Pep gehört zu den Katzen, die im Mai aus einer verlassenen Wohnung gerettet wurden. Ihr Besitzer hatte das Land verlassen und die Tiere einfach eingesperrt zurückgelassen – ohne Futter, ohne Wasser und ohne jede Chance, sich selbst zu helfen. Zum Glück wurde Virginia um Hilfe gebeten. Als sie die Wohnung betrat, bot sich ihr ein furchtbares Bild. Zwischen Schmutz und Verwahrlosung fand sie auch Pep. Seit diesem Tag lebt er bei Virginia im Tierheim, wo er versorgt wird und sicher ist. Als Virginia Pep rettete, war kaum vorstellbar, dass aus diesem abgemagerten Kater einmal so ein fröhlicher kleiner Kerl werden würde. Seine Blutwerte waren schlecht und er war körperlich in keinem guten Zustand. Heute geht es Pep zum Glück wieder richtig gut – und das merkt man ihm an. Er ist lieb, gesellig und hat durchaus Flausen im Kopf, wenn ihm nach Spielen ist. Mit anderen Katzen kommt er prima klar und auch sonst ist Pep einfach ein Kater, den man gerne um sich hat. Pep hat schon gezeigt, dass in ihm viel mehr steckt, als man bei seiner Rettung vielleicht gedacht hätte. Jetzt fehlt ihm eigentlich nur noch jemand, der ihm zeigt, dass es auch nach all dem Schweren richtig schön werden kann. Ein Platz zum Spielen, Menschen zum Kuscheln und natürlich die ein oder andere Katze zum gemeinsamen Zeitvertreib – mehr braucht dieser feine Kerl gar nicht, um glücklich zu sein.

About Pep

What life with Pep looks like

Pep is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pep, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pep?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pep on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pep if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pep 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 Pep 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 Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pep 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.
