Sabir

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Sabir and her mom, siblings, aunts, dad, and cousins come from a seizure. The group came from poor conditions and didn't have a good start in life. Now the group is ready for a home of their own. Unfortunately, they are currently quite shy and fearful and are looking for a understanding and patient home. Sabir is looking for a new home with one of her siblings or cousins. They will probably do well in apartment living.

Sabir stammt gemeinsam mit ihrer Mama, ihren Geschwistern, ihren Tanten, ihrem Vater und ihren Cousins aus einer Sicherstellung. Die Bande stammt aus schlechter Haltung und hatten keinen guten Start ins neue Leben. Mittlerweile ist die Gruppe bereit für ein eigenes Zuhause. Leider zeigen sie sich aktuell ziemlich scheu und ängstlich und suchen ein verständnisvolles und geduldiges Zuhause. Sabir sucht gemeinsam mit einem ihrer Geschwister oder ihren Cousins ein neues Zuhause. Wohnungshaltung wird ihnen vermutlich ausrichten.

About Sabir

What life with Sabir looks like

Sabir is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sabir, answered.

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