How do I contact the shelter about Aki?

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

Can I adopt Aki if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Vaihingen 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 Aki 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 Aki 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 Vaihingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aki 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.

Aki

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Our loving cat mom AKI (born around 07/2025) is looking for her forever home. The slender Aki is still very young and has already become a mother. Together with her kittens Aro and Aris (both already reserved), she currently lives with us at the animal shelter. Aki was found pregnant and after giving birth to her own kittens, she even lovingly adopted an orphan kitten. In a foster home, she was able to raise her three kittens as well as the little orphan in peace. One of her kittens and the orphan were taken over by the foster family. Now it's time for Aki to be the center of attention and enjoy her young cat life. Due to the long nursing period, she is currently still slightly underweight, but always has a good appetite. Typical caring cat mom lets her kittens take precedence when eating and puts herself last. Aki is an extremely affectionate, cuddly and people-oriented cat who enjoys every petting session. For her new home, we would like to have the possibility of outdoor access in a traffic-calmed environment after a sufficiently long acclimatization period. If you would like to give Aki a loving forever home, we look forward to your message with completed self-disclosure to our cat email.

Unsere liebevolle Katzenmama AKI (geb. ca. 07/2025) sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause. Die zierliche Aki ist selbst noch sehr jung und wurde bereits Mama. Gemeinsam mit ihren Kitten Aro und Aris (beide bereits reserviert) lebt sie derzeit bei uns im Tierheim. Aki wurde trächtig gefunden und hat nach der Geburt ihrer eigenen Kitten sogar noch ein Findelkind liebevoll aufgenommen. In einer Pflegestelle durfte sie ihre drei Kitten sowie das kleine Findelkind in Ruhe großziehen. Eines ihrer Kitten sowie das Findelkind wurden von der Pflegestelle übernommen. Nun ist es an der Zeit, dass Aki selbst im Mittelpunkt stehen darf und ihr junges Katzenleben genießen kann. Durch die lange Säugezeit ist sie aktuell noch etwas untergewichtig, hat aber immer guten Hunger. Typisch fürsorgliche Katzenmama lässt sie ihren Kitten beim Fressen stets den Vortritt und steckt selbst zurück. Aki ist eine ausgesprochen zutrauliche, verschmuste und menschenbezogene Katze, die jede Streicheleinheit genießt. Für ihr neues Zuhause wünschen wir uns nach einer ausreichend langen Eingewöhnungszeit die Möglichkeit zum Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten Umgebung. Wenn Sie Aki ein liebevolles Für-immer-Zuhause schenken möchten, freuen wir uns auf Ihre Nachricht mit ausgefüllter Selbstauskunft an unsere Katzen-E-Mail.

About Aki

What life with Aki looks like

Aki is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Vaihingen in Vaihingen an der Enz.

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.
