Antonia

European Shorthair · Female

Wow, where did you come from? Well, uh, oh, so… sit down there, okay? Give me a moment. Who am I? Shy… I mean: Antonia is my name and I am shy, "just a little flower," they say here. I don't necessarily need other cats right now; they would work, but if they are dominant: then no, I can be happy on my own. So, I don't need a free roam, a balcony would be nice. Well, as you can tell, I am a bit reserved. A… but if this really fits, with us and so on, then I am totally smitten. This cat needs outdoor access.

Huch, woher kommst du denn? Tja, äh, oh, also… setzt dich da mal hin, ja? Gib mir noch Zeit. Wer ich bin? Schüchtern… also ich meine: Antonia ist mein Name und ich bin schüchtern, „so ein richtiges kleines Mauerblümchen“, sagen sie hier alle. Ich brauche jetzt nicht unbedingt andere Katzen, würde zwar gehen, aber wenn die dominant sind: dann eher nicht, dann kann ich auch allein ganz glücklich werden. Also Freigang brauche ich auch nicht, ein Balkon wäre ganz nett. Tja, wie du merkst bin ich etwas zurückhaltend. A…aber wenn das wirklich passt, mit uns und so, dann bin ich total verkuschelt. Br

About Antonia

What life with Antonia looks like

Antonia 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 Antonia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Antonia?
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 Antonia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Antonia 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 Antonia 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 Antonia 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 Antonia 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.
