Abgabekatze Zoja

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Zoja EKH, female/spayed, born July 2022, surrendered due to owner's illness The beautiful Zoja was given up to us reluctantly because her owner could no longer care for her due to his illness. Before coming to us, the lovely cat lived alone in a single-cat household. Unfortunately, such cats often develop into true scratching furies and have great difficulty adjusting to life in a shelter due to a lack of contact with other cats and imprinting issues. Fortunately, Zoja is made of different stuff - she was initially quite shy and often hid in her scratching post, but within a few days, the ice was broken and Zoja was always in the thick of things. She loves her roommates and enjoys being close to them and will happily share a portion of food with them; however, she prefers human affection, especially in the form of petting and cuddling. We hope Zoja's future will be with a loving female cat or a true gentleman who will sweep her off her feet - preferably in a single-cat household.

Abgabekatze Zoja EKH, weiblich/kastriert, geboren im Juli 2022, Abgabe wegen Erkrankung des BesitzersDie hübsche Zoja wurde schweren Herzens bei uns abgegeben, weil ihr Besitzer sich aufgrund seiner Erkrankung nicht mehr ausreichend um sie kümmern konnte.Bevor die überaus freundliche Katzendame zu uns kam, lebte sie allein in reiner Wohnungshaltung. Leider entwickeln sich solche Katzen aufgrund mangelnder Kontakte mit Artgenossen, sowie Fehlprägungen oft zu wahren Kratzfurien und haben große Probleme, im Tierheim klar zu kommen. Zoja ist da glücklicherweise aus einem ganz anderen Holz geschnitzt – sie zeigte sich zu Beginn noch recht schüchtern und versteckte sich oft in ihrer Kratztonne, doch bereits nach einigen Tagen war das Eis gebrochen und Zoja immer mitten im Geschehen.Sie mag ihre Zimmergenossen sehr und ist gerne in deren Nähe und teilt sich auch ohne Probleme mal eine Portion Futter mit diesen; noch etwas besser findet sie allerdings menschliche Zuneigung, vor allem in Form von Streichel- und Schmuseeinheiten. Wir wünschen uns für Zojas Zukunft eine vorhandene liebe Katzendame oder auch einen wahren Gentlemen, der ihr den Hof macht – gerne wieder in reiner Wohnungshaltung.

About Abgabekatze Zoja

What life with Abgabekatze Zoja looks like

Abgabekatze Zoja is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Lauterbach in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Abgabekatze Zoja, answered.

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