Adelaide

Female · Young · 2 years

Super Mama is looking for peace and relaxation in raising children. Finally, someone understands. I don't need a red carpet or nonsense. But some understanding that with SEVEN children, you don't always run around with a Mona Lisa smile, but also have a day with your mouth down and a growl on your face. Get 7 children at once. They all want to eat and be pampered at the same time. That wears you down, mentally too. Your own resilience can sometimes get left behind. Please don't take it personally if I don't run up to you with a joyful smile. But react a bit irritated when another new face appears in my circle. I'm already glad that the dear little ones are finally independent and I have occasional breaks. Of course, I still cuddle with the kids, it's clear. But someone new, on whom I have to watch... no thanks... So I'm looking for the here and now mentioned wellness oasis for stressed cat mothers. Where no one expects you to meet expectations (always cuddle, always ready for caresses and never be in a bad mood...) but a cat can also be a cat. With all the facets we cats have. Including arriving in peace, settling in, exploring the new environment and just wanting to be alone sometimes. No pure apartment keeping? No way, I've had enough of that here at the animal shelter. I would like to enjoy my new "freedom" literally. If you are a person who sees this not as a burden but as an enrichment... ...contact the animal shelter. I would like to start relaxing... Animal adoptions are currently by appointment only. We ask you to contact us in advance by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by e-mail if you are interested in one of our animals.

Super Mama sucht nach Kindererziehung Ruhe und Entspannung Endlich sieht das mal wer. Ich brauche keinen roten Teppich oder sonstigen Blödsinn. Aber etwas Verständnis, daß man bei S I E B E N Kinder nicht immer mit einem Mona Lisa Lächeln durch die Gegend rennt, sondern auch einen Tag mit runtergezogenen Mundwinkeln und einem Knurren im Gesicht dabei hat. Bekommen Sie mal 7 Kinder gleichzeitig. Die wollen alle gleichzeitig fressen und betüdelt werden. Das zehrt an der Substanz, auch an der Mentalen. Da kann die eigene Resilienz ab und an auf der Strecke bleiben. Nehmen Sie es mit also bitte nicht übel, wenn ich nicht freudestrahlend auf Sie zulaufe. Sondern etwas gereizt reagiere, wenn schon wieder ein neues Gesicht in meinem Dunstkreis erscheint. Ich bin ja schon froh, daß die lieben Kleinen endlich selbstständig sind und ich ab und an Verschnaufpausen habe. Natürlich wird trotzdem noch mit den Kids gekuschelt, ist ja klar. Aber jemand neues, auf den ich aufpassen soll….nein danke….. Deshalb suche ich jetzt die hier immer wieder erwähnte Wellnessoase für gestresste Katzenmütter. Wo niemand erwartet, daß man Erwartungen erfüllt (immer kuscheln, jederzeit bereit für Streicheleinheiten und nie schlechte Laune haben…) sondern Katze auch Katze sein darf. Mit allen Facetten, die wir Katzen so haben. Inklusive in Ruhe ankommen, eingewöhnen, neue Umgebung erkunden und einfach mal für sich sein wollen. Reine Wohnungshaltung? Bloß nicht, das hatte ich hier im Tierheim lange genug. Ich möchte meine neue gewonnene „Freihei“" bitte auch wörtlich genießen können. Wenn Sie ein Mensch sind, der darin keine Belastung sondern ein Bereicherung sieht……melden Sie sich doch im Tierheim. Ich würde gerne anfangen mit dem Entspannen…. Tiervermittlungen finden zurzeit nur mit Termin statt. Wir bitten Sie daher, sich bei Interesse an einem unserer Tiere vorab telefonisch unter 05481 / 4146 oder per E-Mail mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Adelaide

What life with Adelaide looks like

Adelaide is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

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 Adelaide, answered.

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