How do I contact the shelter about Aliena?

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

Can I adopt Aliena if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Neu-Amerika 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 Aliena 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 Aliena 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 Neu-Amerika early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aliena 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.

Adopt Aliena

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 10 years

Gender: female born: ca. 2016 Status: to be placed Aliena was found in a very poor, life-threatening condition. She had several pus-filled bite wounds, was completely exhausted, and had breathing difficulties. An X-ray revealed an enlarged heart. With medication and care, she stabilized and is building trust with her caregivers. Further diagnostics showed a heart condition and advanced pregnancy. Aliena gave birth to a kitten. Given her history, complications were expected. The baby was likely born prematurely and Aliena had no milk to feed her child. She was clearly overwhelmed and behaved in an unapproachable manner, so we reluctantly decided to place the baby in hand-rearing to give it a chance at survival and relieve the mother of the unbearable stress. Now, Aliena is slowly coming back to herself and showing herself as the enchanting, cuddly cat we got to know. After she hopefully recovers well from her spaying and is medicated, this cat, who has been dealt a harsh hand by fate, needs a loving and responsible permanent home as soon as possible. It is important to know that she will need medication for life and her health must be regularly monitored by a veterinarian. Aliena wants to enjoy her freedom again after settling in, also showing a clear desire to be outdoors.

Geschlecht: weiblich geboren: ca. 2016 Status: zu vermitteln Aliena wurde in einem sehr schlechten, lebensbedrohlichem Zustand aufgefunden. Sie wies mehrere eitrige Bisswunden auf, war komplett erschöpft und hatte Atemnot. Im Röntgen fiel ein vergrößertes Herz auf. Mit Medikamenten und Pflege stabilisierte sie sich und baut Vertrauen zu ihren Pflegern auf. Die weiterführende Diagnostik ergab eine Herzerkrankung und eine fortgeschrittene Trächtigkeit. Aliena brachte ein Jungtier zur Welt. Aufgrund der Vorgeschichte war bereits mit Komplikationen zu rechnen. Das Baby wurde wahrscheinlich zu früh geboren und Aliena hatte keine Muttermilch, um ihr Kind zu versorgen. Sie war sichtlich überfordert und verhielt sich unnahbar, sodass wir uns schweren Herzens dazu entschlossen, das Baby in die Handaufzucht zu geben, um ihm eine Chance auf Überleben zu geben und der Mama den unsäglichen Stress zu nehmen. Nun kommt Aliena langsam wieder zur Ruhe und zeigt sich wieder als die bezaubernde, verschmuste Katze, die wir kennenlernen durften. Nachdem sie nun hoffentlich bald ihre Kastration noch gut übersteht und medikamentös eingestellt ist, braucht diese vom Schicksal gebeutelte Katze schnellstmöglich endlich ein liebevolles und verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause auf Lebenszeit. Wichtig zu wissen ist, dass sie lebenslang Medikamente brauchen wird und ihr Gesundheitszustand regelmäßig tierärztlich überwacht werden muss. Aliena möchte unbedingt nach Eingewöhnung wieder ihre Freiheit genießen dürfen, auch hier zeigt sie deutlich, wie sie sich nach draußen sehnt.

About Aliena

What life with Aliena looks like

Aliena is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Neu-Amerika in Annaberg-Buchholz.

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.
