How do I contact the shelter about 5jährige?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dortmunder Katzenschutz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw 5jährige on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt 5jährige if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dortmunder Katzenschutz e.V. 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 5jährige 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 5jährige 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 Dortmunder Katzenschutz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know 5jährige 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.

5jährige

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

This elegant Bengal cat, named Nori, is currently in the care of DKSV and is available for adoption with a donation and contract. Our cats are examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped when old enough. Kittens are also examined by a veterinarian and are only adopted with a spay/neuter commitment. This beautiful, elegant Bengal cat was found outside and lived very fearfully under a car. She has since been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated twice, and treated for parasites. The veterinarian estimated her age to be 5 years, and she was always very cooperative. She is still a bit fearful and reserved around strangers, but plays persistently and enjoys being petted with her caregivers. We are looking for a quiet home for Nori with a secure balcony. Older children would not be a problem, but there is no experience with dogs. Non-dominant feline companions would certainly be a welcome addition. Our search notices have been unsuccessful, so it will remain a mystery why she had to live on the streets. Adoption: DKSV Contact: Ms. Heinisch Listing from: 26.07.2026

Spielfreudige Nori Diese Samtpfote befindet sich zur Zeit in der Obhut des DKSV und ist gegen Spende und Schutzvertrag zu vermitteln. Unsere Katzen sind tierärztlich untersucht, geimpft, kastriert, gechipt, sofern sie alt genug sind. Katzenkinder sind selbstverständlich auch tierärztlich untersucht und werden nur mit Kastrationsverpflichtung vermittelt. Diese wunderschöne, elegante Bengalkatze wurde draußen gesichert und lebte sehr ängstlich unter einem Auto. Mittlerweile ist sie kastriert, geschippt, 2-mal geimpft und gegen Parasiten behandelt. Beim Tierarzt wurde sie auf 5 Jahre geschätzt, dort war sie immer sehr kooperativ. Bei Fremden ist sie noch etwas ängstlich und zurückhaltend, mit ihren Pflegepersonen spielt sie ausdauernd und lässt sich streicheln. Wir suchen für Nori einen ruhigen Haushalt mit gesichertem Balkon. Ältere Kinder wären kein Problem, zu Hunden liegen keine Erfahrungen vor. Nicht dominante Katzenkumpel wären sicher eine Bereicherung. Unsere Suchmeldungen blieben erfolglos, es wird also ein Rätsel bleiben, wieso sie auf der Straße leben musste.

About 5jährige

What life with 5jährige looks like

5jährige is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dortmunder Katzenschutz e.V. in Dortmund.

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.
