How do I contact the shelter about Phoebe?

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 Phoebe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Phoebe 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 Phoebe 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 Phoebe 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 Phoebe 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.

Phoebe

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 6 months

Phoebe, a charming kitten, was born around the beginning of May 2026 and is a true heartcat. With her loving, affectionate nature and her cheerful disposition, she quickly wins over every heart. She is a little ray of sunshine that spreads good cheer and simply brings joy. Age-appropriately, Phoebe is curious, playful, and always eager to discover the world. However, she also thoroughly enjoys long cuddle sessions and loves being petted. She is a wonderful kitten with a very special character.Phoebe currently lives in a foster home with several kittens. There, she is well socialized, gets along wonderfully with her fellow felines, and is beautifully integrated into the group. She also knows children, loves playing with them, and gets along with adult cats of different ages without any problems.Phoebe is already chipped, vaccinated, and dewormed.For her new home, we hope that Phoebe can move in with a kitten from her foster home. This way, she will continue to have a familiar playmate and cuddle buddy by her side, with whom she can explore the big world together. If you are interested, please contact Lena.

About Phoebe

What life with Phoebe looks like

Phoebe is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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.
