Anouk

European Shorthair · Female

Hi there, you must be a human! I recognized that right away because you walk on two legs. And because you bring the food, as you have this magical talent at your paws… what do you call it? Ah, "thumbs." Cool, I wish I had those too! But, one thing at a time: my name is Anouk and I am a lady of the world. Well, first of all, I am a lady of this cat station, but one day I'll get out of here and find an apartment, maybe one with a balcony or an outdoor area, I don't mind! Hey, perhaps I even like other cats, who knows, I haven't figured that out yet.

Hi hooo, du musst ein Mensch sein! Hab ich sofort erkannt, weil du auf zwei Beinen herumläufst. Und weil ihr das Futter bringt, denn ihr habt dieses magische Talent an euren Pfoten… wie nennt ihr das? Ah, „Daumen“. Toll, hätte ich auch gern! Aber, eines nach dem anderen: Anouk heiß ich und ich bin eine Dame von Welt. Nun, erst einmal bin ich eine Dame von dieser Katzenstation, aber eines Tages komme ich hier raus und finde eine Wohnung, so eine mit Balkon oder mit Freigang, mir gleich! Hey, vielleicht mag ich auch andere Katzen, keine Ahnung, konnte ich noch nicht herausfinden. Was ich aber we

About Anouk

What life with Anouk looks like

Anouk is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Anouk, answered.

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