How do I contact the shelter about Alva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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 — Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Alva has found her people! Her story: The four-month-old Alva had already gone through a lot in her short life. She and her three siblings, Lanea, Ando, and Helvi, were born and raised by their mother Karmi on the cold street. Together, they came to a temporary foster home. Alva is the calmest kitten in the family. Behind the reserved shell lies an alert, curious core! She loves exploring the world around her and spending time with other cats, people, and even dogs. Alva is not suited for single housing; she would be very happy with a fellow animal as a roommate. If no cat already lives in her new home, she would gladly take one of her siblings with her! She does not need a roam, preferring to spend her time in the safe four walls. A cat-safe netted balcony would certainly make her happy. Alva is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. She also has an EU pet passport and is now ready to travel to her new home. Many thanks to Adriana M. This cat needs outdoor access.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Alva hat ihre Menschen gefunden! Ihre Geschichte: Die vier Monate alte Alva musste in ihrer kurzen Lebzeit bereits einiges durchmachen. Sie und ihre drei Geschwister, Lanea, Ando und Helvi, wurden von ihrer Mutter Karmi auf der kalten Straße geboren und versorgt. Gemeinsam kamen sie in eine temporäre Pflegestelle. Alva ist das ruhigste Kätzchen in der Familie. Hinter der zurückhaltenden Schale steckt jedoch ein aufgeweckter, neugieriger Kern! Sie liebt es, die Welt um sich herum zu erkunden, und mit anderen Katzen, Menschen und auch Hunden Zeit zu verbringen. Für die Einzelhaltung ist Alva nicht gemacht. Sie würde sich sehr über einen Artgenossen als Mitbewohner freuen. Wenn keine Katze bereits in ihrem neuen Zuhause wohnt, nimmt sie gerne eins ihrer Geschwister mit! Freigang braucht sie nicht, sie verbringt ihre Zeit lieber in den sicheren vier Wänden. Über einen vernetzten Balkon würde sie sich aber sicher freuen. Alva ist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, entfloht und wurde negativ auf FIV und FeLV getestet. Einen EU-Heimtierausweis besitzt sie ebenfalls und wartet nun reisefertig auf ihr neues Zuhause. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 250 Euro kann sie in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen. Vielen Dank an Adriana M., dass du Alva ihren Namen geschenkt und damit einen wesentlichen Teil zur

About Alva

What life with Alva looks like

Alva is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
