How do I contact the shelter about Phipps?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Phipps on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Phipps if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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 Phipps 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 Phipps 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Phipps 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Ask about this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Ask about this cat now! Phipps did not have an easy start in life. He was left together with other kittens in front of a veterinary practice. Without protection, without safety, left to fate. Fortunately, they were found in time and received medical care, so Phipps got a chance to fight and survive. He took that chance. Phipps survived panleukopenia, a severe and often life-threatening disease. A chronic nasal discharge remains, which however hardly limits him in daily life. Otherwise, he is stable, cheerful, and ready for his next step. In terms of character, Phipps is an absolute sunbeam. He is very friendly, affectionate, and people-oriented. He loves closeness and enjoys attention to the fullest. At the same time, he shows himself social with other animals and gets along well with other cats. Therefore, we are hoping for a home with an existing cat or together with a suitable cat friend. Dogs are unknown to Phipps, as he lacks experience in this area. Free roaming is not an option for him. He should enjoy the security and stability of an apartment suitable living, ideally with enough space to play, climb, and cuddle. Regarding his travel arrangements, Phipps is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas. Naturally, he also brings his EU pet passport. He tested negative for FIV and FeLV. After a positive Also, a foster home would be a wonderful start into a new chapter for him. Starting in February, Phipps is ready to move into his new home. We are looking for people with heart, sense of responsibility, and the desire to give a young tomcat with a special story a safe, loving life. Whoever chooses Phipps will get a brave little character cat who has gained trust despite everything and is happy to pass on that trust. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Er wurde gemeinsam mit weiteren Kitten einfach vor einer Tierarztpraxis ausgesetzt. Ohne Schutz, ohne Sicherheit, dem Schicksal überlassen. Zum Glück wurden sie rechtzeitig gefunden und medizinisch versorgt, sodass Phipps eine Chance bekam, zu kämpfen und zu überleben. Diese Chance hat er genutzt. Phipps hat eine Panleukopenie überstanden, eine schwere und oft lebensbedrohliche Erkrankung. Zurückgeblieben ist ein chronischer Nasenausfluss, der ihn im Alltag jedoch kaum einschränkt. Ansonsten ist er stabil, lebensfroh und bereit für seinen nächsten Schritt. Charakterlich ist Phipps ein absoluter Sonnenschein. Er ist sehr freundlich, liebevoll und menschenbezogen. Nähe findet er großartig und genießt Aufmerksamkeit in vollen Zügen. Gleichzeitig zeigt er sich sozial mit Artgenossen und versteht sich gut mit anderen Katzen. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause mit einer vorhandenen Katze oder gemeinsam mit einem passenden Katzenfreund. Hunde kennt Phipps bisher nicht, hier fehlt die Erfahrung. Freigang kommt für ihn nicht in Frage. Er soll die Sicherheit und Stabilität einer reinen Wohnungshaltung genießen, idealerweise mit genügend Raum zum Spielen, Klettern und Kuscheln. Bei seiner Ausreise ist Phipps kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Seinen EU-Heimtierausweis bringt er natürlich ebenfalls mit. Er ist negativ auf FIV und FeLV getestet. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr darf er in sein neues Zuhause ziehen. Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre ein wundervoller Start in ein neues Kapitel für ihn. Ab Februar ist Phipps bereit, in sein neues Zuhause zu ziehen. Gesucht werden Menschen mit Herz, Verantwortungsbewusstsein und dem Wunsch, einem jungen Kater mit besonderer Geschichte ein sicheres, liebevolles Leben zu schenken. Wer sich für Phipps entscheidet, bekommt einen tapferen kleinen Charakterkater, der trotz allem Vertrauen gefasst hat und dieses Vertrauen gerne weitergibt. Herzlichen Dank an die Patin Martina, die Phipps seinen Namen geschenkt und damit maßgeblich zu seiner

About Phipps

What life with Phipps looks like

Phipps is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
