Schnecki

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Schnecki is the name of this adorable kitten. Schnecki came to us with her brothers from a seizure. Here they show themselves to be uncomplicated, nice and kitten-typically playful. The three are a great team and for us there would be nothing better than if the three move into a new home together. Later the three rambunctious ones would like the option to go outside.

Schnecki heißt dieses entzückende Katzenkind. Schnecki ist gemeinsam mit ihren Brüdern aus einer Sicherstellung zu uns gekommen. Hier zeigen sie sich unkompliziert, nett und kittentypisch verspielt. Die drei sind ein tolles Team udn für uns gäbe es nichts schöneres, wie wenn die drei zusammen in ein neues Zuhause ziehen. Später wünschen sich die drei Rabauken die Option zum Freigang.

About Schnecki

What life with Schnecki looks like

Schnecki 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 Schnecki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Schnecki?
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 Schnecki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Schnecki 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 Schnecki 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 Schnecki 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 Schnecki 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.
