Anni

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Anni is a small, delicate and almost white female cat. Her age is estimated to be around 1 year. Currently, the pretty mouse is still very reserved and quickly takes off as soon as someone gets too close. Anni still prefers to observe the events from a safe distance. We are looking for particularly empathetic cat friends for Anni who will give her the time she needs. People who do not expect her to trust them overnight, but are willing to show her in peace that people can also mean something beautiful. A confident and affectionate cat friend would certainly be a great help for Anni. Maybe there is already a cat that Anni lovingly "takes to her paw", gives her security and shows her that the world is not so frightening. Anni needs people with a big heart, patience and understanding - and above all the willingness to see even small progress and be happy about it. Is there someone out there who wants to try it with our shy Anni and give her the chance of a loving home?

DE·Show original

Anni ist eine kleine, zarte und fast weiße Katzendame. Ihr Alter wird auf etwa 1 Jahr geschätzt. Momentan zeigt sich die hübsche Maus noch sehr zurückhaltend und nimmt schnell Reißaus, sobald ihr jemand zu nahekommt. Noch beobachtet Anni das Geschehen am liebsten aus sicherer Entfernung. Für Anni suchen wir besonders einfühlsame Katzenfreunde, die ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Menschen, die nicht erwarten, dass sie von heute auf morgen Vertrauen fasst, sondern bereit sind, ihr ganz in Ruhe zu zeigen, dass Menschen auch etwas Schönes bedeuten können. Ein souveräner und zutraulicher Katzenfreund wäre für Anni sicherlich eine große Hilfe. Vielleicht gibt es ja eine bereits vorhandene Katze, die Anni liebevoll „ans Pfötchen nimmt“, ihr Sicherheit gibt und ihr zeigt, dass die Welt gar nicht so beängstigend ist. Anni braucht Menschen mit einem großen Herzen, Geduld und Verständnis – und vor allem die Bereitschaft, auch kleine Fortschritte zu sehen und sich darüber zu freuen. Gibt es da draußen jemanden, der es mit unserer schüchternen Anni versuchen möchte und ihr die Chance auf ein liebevolles Zuhause geben möchte?

About Anni

What life with Anni looks like

Anni is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierasyl Chemnitz in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Anni, answered.

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