Rufus & Willi

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Rufus (m/k/born ~02/2020) and Willi (white blaze, m/k/born ~02/2020) Rufus and Willi came to us in March 2022 as found rabbits from an animal shelter and were rehomed in October 2022. Unfortunately, the two had to return to the shelter due to personal reasons of the owner, and they no longer understand the world. The two formerly curious, outdoor-living bunnies are now very shy and only come out of their enclosure when no one is nearby. The two cute button-nosed bunnies are likely together their whole life, understand each other very well, and should not be separated. Rufus and Willi were recently still in the company of two other neutered bunnies, which worked well, so it would also be an option to join a group. Outdoor living is then again possible from mid/end May. We wish both a beautiful, species-appropriate home with plenty of space (min. 6 m² on one level) and a healthy/balanced diet. Our rabbits are vaccinated against Myxomatosis, RHD 1 and 2.

Rufus (m/k/geb. ~02/2020) und Willi (weiße Blesse, m/k/geb. ~02/2020) Rufus und Willi kamen im März 2022 als Fundkaninchen zu uns ins Tierheim und wurden im Oktober 2022 vermittelt Leider mussten die zwei aus persönlichen Gründen der Halterin nun wieder zurück, und verstehen gerade die Welt nicht mehr. Die zwei ehemals neugierigen, in Außenhaltung lebenden Böckchen sind nun sehr verschüchtert und kommen am liebsten nur dann aus ihrem Gehege, wenn kein Mensch in der Nähe ist. Die zwei hübschen Wackelnasen sind vermutlich schon ihr ganzes Leben zusammen, verstehen sich sehr gut und sollten nicht getrennt werden. Rufus und Willi waren bis vor kurzem noch in Gesellschaft zwei weiterer kastrierten Böckchen, das hat gut funktioniert, so dass es auch eine Option wäre, in eine Gruppe zu ziehen. Außenhaltung ist dann wieder ab Mitte/Ende Mai möglich. Wir wünschen uns für beide ein schönes, artgerechtes Zuhause mit viel Platz (min. 6 m² auf einer Ebene) und einer gesunden/ausgewogenen Ernährung. Unsere Kaninchen sind gegen Myxomatose, RHD 1 und 2 geimpft. Bei Interesse an unseren Kleintieren rufen Sie am besten dienstags oder mittwochs zu unseren

About Rufus & Willi

What life with Rufus & Willi looks like

Rufus & Willi is a small adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung e.V. in Hattersheim am Main.

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.

🇩🇪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 Rufus & Willi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rufus & Willi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rufus & Willi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rufus & Willi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung 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 Rufus & Willi 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 Rufus & Willi 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 Hattersheim und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rufus & Willi 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.
