Sunny

European Shorthair · Female

Sunny came to us with Jasmin after her owner passed away. Her name is fitting as she immediately wins over everyone's heart with her sunny disposition. Sunny has a lively personality and is affectionate and cuddly. She would be happy to move into a family with children. Although Sunny has lived with Jasmin so far, she doesn't seem too keen on other cats. She might be happier as a single cat if given outdoor access after settling in. If you would like to meet Sunny, please contact us via phone or the contact form. Your Name (required) Your Email Address (required) Subject Your Message

Sunny kam zusammen mit Jasmin zu uns, nachdem ihr Besitzer verstorben ist. Ihr Name ist Programm, da sie sich mit ihrem sonnigen Gemüt sofort bei jedem ins Herz schleicht. Sunny hat eine lebhafte Persönlichkeit und ist menschenbezogen und verschmust. Sie kann gern in eine Familie mit Kindern ziehen. Sunny hat zwar bisher mit Jasmin zusammengelebt, aber sie scheint nicht so erpicht auf andere Katzen zu sein. Vermutlich wäre sie als Einzelkatze glücklicher, sofern sie nach ihrer Eingewöhnung Freigang bekommt. Wenn Sie Sunny kennenlernen möchten, melden Sie sich gern unter oder über das Kontaktformular.

About Sunny

What life with Sunny looks like

Sunny is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel in Germany.

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 Sunny, answered.

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