How do I contact the shelter about Simba?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Simba if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren 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 Simba 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 Simba 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 Ibbenbüren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simba 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.

Simba

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 6 months

Little Simba is a real heartbreaker. He’s a true charmer with a loving and well-balanced personality. Together with his two sisters, Abby and Shila, he was found at just four weeks old. Since then, he’s been living in a foster home and has blossomed into a cheerful, healthy, and wonderful young tomcat. Simba is a lively, curious, and playful kitten. At his age, he loves to romp, wrestle, and explore the world together with his feline friends. He thoroughly enjoys every play session and always brings a smile to everyone’s face with his funny antics. Yet just as much as he loves playing, Simba also cherishes being close to his humans. After an energetic playtime, he loves to snuggle up, seeking attention and closeness from his people. He’s exceptionally trusting, affectionate, and would love nothing more than to be included in everything his family does. Having relied on human care from a very early age, Simba is especially people-oriented. At his foster home, he lives alongside children, knows how to interact gently with them, and thoroughly enjoys shared moments of play and cuddling. For Simba, we’re looking for a loving home where he can continue to receive plenty of affection, stimulation, and, of course, lots of love. Simba would love to move into his forever home with a sibling or another kitten from the foster care facility. Simba is already vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed several times, and is ready to move into his own forever home. If you’re interested, please get in touch with Lena at

Der kleine Simba ist ein echter Herzensbrecher. Er ist ein wahrer Charmeur mit liebevollen und ausgeglichenen Charakter. Gemeinsam mit seinen beiden Schwestern Abby und Shila wurde er im Alter von nur vier Wochen gefunden. Seitdem lebt er auf einer Pflegestelle und hat sich zu einem fröhlichen, gesunden und wundervollen jungen Kater entwickelt. Simba ist ein lebensfrohes, neugieriges und verspieltes Kitten. Altersgerecht liebt er es zu toben, zu raufen und mit seinen Katzenfreunden die Welt zu entdecken. Jede Spieleinheit genießt er in vollen Zügen und sorgt mit seiner lustigen Art immer wieder für ein Lächeln.Doch genauso sehr, wie er das Spielen liebt, genießt Simba die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Nach einer ausgiebigen Toberei kuschelt er sich gerne an und sucht die Aufmerksamkeit und Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Er ist ausgesprochen zutraulich, anhänglich und möchte am liebsten überall dabei sein. Da Simba schon sehr früh auf die Fürsorge von Menschen angewiesen war, ist er besonders menschenbezogen. Auf seiner Pflegestelle lebt er mit Kindern zusammen, kennt den liebevollen Umgang mit ihnen und genießt gemeinsame Spiel- und Kuschelmomente. Für Simba wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er weiterhin viel Zuwendung, Beschäftigung und natürlich ganz viel Liebe bekommt. Simba möchte gerne mit einem Geschwisterchen oder einem anderen Kitten von der Pflegestelle auszuziehen. Simba ist bereits geimpft, gechippt und mehrfach entwurmt und bereit, in sein eigenes Für-immer-Zuhause umzuziehen. Bei Interesse meldet euch gerne bei Lena unter

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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.
