Adopt Rafael (EC-positiv)

Lop Rabbit · Male · Adult · 7 years

Name: Rafael Gender: male-neutered Age: *May 13, 2019* Wish home: plenty of space to stretch out and a loving partner The ram "Rafael" is looking for a home with people who ideally have experience with EC disease. He has a significantly elevated titer. Unfortunately, there are sad news: Rafael's partner "Vicky" passed away on January 21, 2026. Before that, she had physically declined slowly. Rafael, however, was always by her side until the end. Now, Rafael is looking for a permanent home and a loving partner all on his own.

About Rafael (EC-positiv)

What life with Rafael (EC-positiv) looks like

Rafael (EC-positiv) is a small adult lop rabbit rabbit waiting at Tierheim Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden.

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.

Note from the shelter: EC positive (Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection) - requires knowledgeable owner familiar with this condition

🇩🇪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 Rafael (EC-positiv), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rafael (EC-positiv)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wiesbaden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rafael (EC-positiv) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rafael (EC-positiv) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Wiesbaden 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 Rafael (EC-positiv) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most rabbits 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 Rafael (EC-positiv) 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 Wiesbaden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rafael (EC-positiv) 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.
