Alva

Female · Kitten · 5 months

The little Alva has settled in a garden and was brought to our shelter as a found animal. She is a lively and very active girl. She would be a good second cat if the existing cat is also rather clumsy. She seeks contact with people and loves to be cuddled. However, in unfamiliar situations, Alva may briefly defend herself with her paw out of uncertainty. We suspect she grew up outside and simply hasn't had the chance to get to know people yet. She will quickly catch up in her new home. Call us at 03841-79 01 79.

Bei uns seit: 30.09.2026 Verträgt sich mit Artgenossen Die kleine Alva hat sich in einem Garten angesiedelt und wurde als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim gebracht. Sie ist ein aufgewecktes und sehr aktives Mädchen. Als Zweitkatze wäre sie sicherlich geeignet, wenn die vorhandene Katze auch eher grobmotorisch unterwegs ist. Sie sucht den Kontakt zu den Menschen und liebt es, gekuschelt zu werden. In ungewohnten Momenten kann es allerdings auch passieren, dass Alva sich aus Unsicherheit kurz mit ihrer Pfote wehrt. Wir vermuten, dass sie draußen groß geworden ist und uns Menschen einfach noch nicht richtig kennenlernen durfte. Das wird sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause schnell nachholen. 03841 - 79 01 79

About Alva

What life with Alva looks like

Alva is a kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alva?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alva if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alva 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 Alva 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 Dorf Mecklenburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alva 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.
