Tom & Bombadil

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Two super friendly giants have lost their home due to a move because cat ownership is not allowed in the new apartment. Children love Tom & Bombadil, one for playing, the other for cuddling, so a nice family (with children, but of course also without children) would be perfect! Desired home: So far, the brothers are only familiar with apartment living and are very happy with it - which does not mean that they would not appreciate beautiful outdoor time!

Die beiden superfreundlichen Riesen haben wegen eines Umzugs ihr Zuhause verloren, weil Katzenhaltung in der neuen Wohnung nicht erlaubt war. Kinder finden Tom & Bombadil super, der eine zum spielen, der andere zum kuscheln, deshalb wäre eine nette Familie (gern mit Kindern, aber natürlich auch ohne Kinder) perfekt! Wunschzuhause: Bisher kennen die Brüder ausschließlich Wohnungshaltung, und sind damit auch sehr zufrieden – was jedoch nicht heißt, dass sie schönen Freigang nicht zu schätzen wissen würden!

About Tom & Bombadil

What life with Tom & Bombadil looks like

Tom & Bombadil is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutz Siebengebirge in Bad Honnef.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tom & Bombadil, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tom & Bombadil?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Siebengebirge handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tom & Bombadil on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tom & Bombadil if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Siebengebirge 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tom & Bombadil 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 Tom & Bombadil 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 Tierschutz Siebengebirge early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tom & Bombadil 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.
