Schubi

Male · Adult · 10 years

The older cat Schubi was found on 11.08.26 in Paderborn. Schubi was severely congested and even neutered, but no one reported owning him. We estimate Schubi to be around 10 years old. After recovering, Schubi was able to move into the cat living room. He settled in quite quickly here. Even fellow cats don't seem to be a problem for him. He is very attached to humans and immediately seeks their company. Now the affectionate cat is looking for a new - permanent - home where outdoor access is also possible later.

Der ältere Kater Schubi wurde am 11.08.26 in Paderborn aufgefunden. Schubi war stark verschnupft, sogar kastriert, aber niemand meldete sich als Halter für ihn. Schubi schätzen wir auf ca. 10 Jahre. Nachdem er auskuriert war, konnte Schubi ins Katzenwohnzimmer umziehen. Hier kam er recht schnell klar. Auch Artgenossen scheinen für ihn kein Problem zu sein. Er ist dem Menschen sehr zugetan und sucht auch sofort deren Nähe. Nun sucht der anhängliche Kater eine neue - feste - Bleibe, wo auch späterer Freigang möglich ist.

About Schubi

What life with Schubi looks like

Schubi is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪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 Schubi, answered.

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