Alana

Female · Young · 2 years

Alana was caught outside with three other strays and brought to us. Unlike her roommates, Alana is still much more skeptical but has nonetheless made great progress. While she initially only hid, she now lies relaxed on the scratching post and even takes treats from our volunteer cat stroking volunteers. It will still take some time for Alana to become a real cuddly cat, which is why we are looking for her a quiet home with an existing companion or together with one of her friends. Outdoor access in traffic-calmed areas should be possible again as soon as she has settled in properly.

DE·Show original

Alana wurde gemeinsam mit drei weiteren Streunern draußen eingefangen und zu uns gebracht. Im Gegensatz zu ihren Mitbewohnern ist Alana noch wesentlich skeptischer, hat aber nichtsdestotrotz schon große Fortschritte gemacht. Während sie sich anfangs nur versteckte, liegt sie nun entspannt auf dem Kratzbaum und nimmt von unseren ehrenamtlichen Katzenstreichlern auch schon Schlecksnack und andere Leckereien an. Bis Alana eine richtige Schmusekatze wird, dauert es dennoch seine Zeit, weshalb wir für sie ein ruhiges Zuhause bei einem bereits vorhandenen Artgenossen oder gemeinsam mit einem ihrer Freunde suchen. Freigang in verkehrsberuhigtem Gebiet sollte in jedem Fall wieder möglich sein, sobald sie sich richtig eingelebt hat.

About Alana

What life with Alana looks like

Alana is a large young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 Alana, answered.

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