Alice

Female

The beautiful tortoiseshell cat Alice came to our shelter pregnant and was allowed to give birth and raise her kittens here in peace. Now her little ones are old enough and Alice is looking for her own home. Alice is a very shy and timid cat. She needs a lot of time, patience and people who don't put pressure on her. Alice would like to decide for herself whether and when she trusts. That's why we are looking for a particularly patient home for her, where she can just be a cat and be given the time she needs. Alternatively, we could also imagine a suitable farm place for Alice, where she will be safely taken care of and can enjoy her life according to her own ideas. Whoever wants to give Alice a quiet and understanding home, please give her the chance to arrive at her own pace.

Die hübsche Schildpattkatze Alice kam tragend zu uns ins Tierheim und durfte hier in Ruhe ihre Babys zur Welt bringen und großziehen. Nun sind ihre Kleinen alt genug und Alice ist selbst auf der Suche nach ihrem eigenen Zuhause. Alice ist eine sehr schüchterne und scheue Katze. Sie braucht viel Zeit, Geduld und Menschen, die ihr keinen Druck machen. Ob und wann sie Vertrauen fasst, möchte Alice gerne selbst entscheiden dürfen. Für sie suchen wir deshalb ein besonders geduldiges Zuhause, in dem sie einfach Katze sein darf und man ihr die Zeit gibt, die sie braucht. Alternativ könnten wir uns für Alice auch einen passenden Hofplatz vorstellen, an dem sie sicher versorgt wird und ihr Leben nach ihren eigenen Vorstellungen genießen darf. Wer Alice ein ruhiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause schenken möchte, darf ihr gerne die Chance geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen.

About Alice

What life with Alice looks like

Alice is a large adult cat waiting at Tierheim Plattling in Plattling.

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 Alice, answered.

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