Amidala

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Amidala is a 2023-born cat who came to our Ludwigshafen Animal Shelter with twelve other cats from a hoarder household where 45 animals had to live in poor conditions. When she arrived, like all the others, she was heavily infested with fleas and in a very neglected state. She has since recovered well and shows more and more what a loving cat is inside her. The slender female cat is extremely gentle, calm and people-oriented. Once she has gained trust, she enjoys every caress and shows herself as a real cuddly cat. She is never pushy, but simply enjoys the closeness of her humans. Amidala gets along very well with other cats. She is open, social and feels comfortable in feline company. Therefore, we are looking for a home for her where there is already a friendly cat or where she can move in together with a suitable furry friend. We are looking for a quiet home for Amidala in apartment living conditions, where she can finally arrive and experience the security that she has never known before. Whoever gives this lovable little cat a second chance will gain a loyal and affectionate companion. If you would like to get to know her, please click on the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way we receive all relevant information for an initial conversation in advance.

Amidala ist eine etwa 2023 geborene Europäisch Kurzhaar-Katze, die gemeinsam mit zwölf weiteren Katzen aus einem Messi-Haushalt zu uns ins Tierheim Ludwigshafen e.V. kam. Insgesamt mussten dort 45 Katzen unter schlechten Bedingungen leben. Als sie bei uns ankam, war sie – wie alle anderen – stark verfloht und in einem sehr vernachlässigten Zustand. Inzwischen hat sie sich gut erholt und zeigt jeden Tag mehr, was für eine liebe Katze in ihr steckt. Die zierliche Katzendame ist ausgesprochen sanft, ruhig und menschenbezogen. Hat sie erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, genießt sie jede Streicheleinheit und zeigt sich als richtige Schmusekatze. Dabei ist sie nie aufdringlich, sondern freut sich einfach über die Nähe ihrer Menschen. Mit anderen Katzen kommt Amidala hervorragend zurecht. Sie ist offen, sozial und fühlt sich in Katzengesellschaft wohl. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause, in dem bereits eine freundliche Katze lebt oder in das sie gemeinsam mit einer passenden Samtpfote einziehen darf. Für Amidala suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, in dem sie endlich ankommen und die Geborgenheit erleben darf, die sie bisher nie kennenlernen durfte. Wer dieser liebenswerten kleinen Katze eine zweite Chance gibt, gewinnt eine treue und verschmuste Begleiterin. Möchten Sie Amidala kennenlernen? Dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre Anfrage. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Amidala

What life with Amidala looks like

Amidala is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Amidala, answered.

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