How do I contact the shelter about Amadea?

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

Can I adopt Amadea if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hannover 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 Amadea 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 Amadea 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 Hannover early rather than rehoming privately; they know Amadea 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 Amadea

Female · 10 years

Amadea is a very insecure "Cat Grandma" who, out of fear, does not go back but moves forward. At first, she was very aggressive and only wanted to attack. Now that she has a larger area just for herself, she is slowly becoming more open. She comes when called, stands in front of you, and hisses. Sometimes she even rubs her legs. She is becoming more open, but petting is still not in the cards. We suspect that Amadea has very poor vision. A blood test revealed that Amadea has hyperthyroidism. Now she takes a tablet twice a day. For Amadea, we are looking for a quiet new home with experienced cat friends who have time. Amadea needs a "quiet" new home and a regulated daily routine. Children and fellow animals should not live in the household. Amadea has hyperthyroidism! In this video, you will get basic information about the condition. Warning: The video clip does not replace an individual consultation! For further information, we are of course happy to assist.

Health care: What vaccinations are necessary and what can I do to ensure my cat a long and healthy life? In this video, you will get an initial overview. Feeding tips: If you want to learn more about the right nutrition for your cats, watch this video. The video is meant to summarize the most important information. We are of course available for further information.

Amadea ist eine sehr unsichere „Katzen Omi“ die aber aus Angst nicht zurück geht sondern nach vorne. Am Anfang war sie sehr aufgebracht und wollte uns nur hauen. Jetzt wo sie einen größeren Bereich nur für sich hat, wird sie langsam offener. Sie kommt wenn man sie ruft, bleibt vor einem stehen und faucht. Manchmal streicht sie auch um die Beine. Sie wird immer offener, aber streicheln ist noch nicht drin. Wir haben die Vermutung, das Amadea sehr schlecht sehen kann. Eine Blutuntersuchung ergab, dass Amadea eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion hat. Nun bekommt sie zweimal täglich eine Tablette. Für Amadea suchen wir ein ruhiges neues Zuhause bei erfahrenen Katzenfreunden mit Zeit. Amadea braucht ein „leises“ neues Heim und einen geregelten Tagesablauf. Kinder und Artgenossen sollten nicht mit im Haushalt leben. Amadea hat eine Schilddrüsen-Überfunktion!

About Amadea

What life with Amadea looks like

Amadea is a small adult cat waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

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.

Note from the shelter: Hyperthyroidism requiring daily medication, suspected vision problems, fearful behavior requiring patient rehabilitation

🇩🇪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.
