How do I contact the shelter about Apolla?

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

Can I adopt Apolla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. 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 Apolla 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 Apolla 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 Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apolla 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.

Apolla

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Apolla is young, active, curious, and above all very, very talkative! 🙈Who chooses Apolla gets not just a cat. You get a small four-legged conversation partner who absolutely wants to know what's going on, where you're going, what you're doing, and why she's not automatically in the middle of the action😂Apolla just wants to be there. She loves the contact with her humans, would love to experience everything together, and of course comments on everything extensively. Whether cooking, cleaning or just sitting comfortably, Apolla will find something to contribute her opinion to😂And when nothing exciting is happening, Apolla can also be very different. She likes to cuddle, enjoys her pets and purrs contentedly.❤️Of course, even a little chatterbox needs her rest phases, but basically Apolla is a very people-oriented and needy cat who seeks the closeness to her humans.Therefore, we are looking for people who like to listen, want to spend a lot of time with their cat and are willing to really share their lives with a cat. Who is looking for an independent "I'll let you know when I need you"-cat might have a slightly different experience with Apolla😂After a corresponding acclimatization period, Apolla would like to enjoy outdoor access and explore her surroundings.Apolla gets along well with other cats and may therefore move to a suitable social cat. If you would like to get to know Apolla, please fill out our inquiry form.

Apolla ist jung, aktiv, neugierig und vor allem sehr, sehr gesprächig! 🙈Wer sich für Apolla entscheidet, bekommt nicht einfach nur eine Katze. Man bekommt eine kleine vierbeinige Gesprächspartnerin, die unbedingt wissen möchte, was gerade passiert, wo du hingehst, was du machst und warum sie dabei nicht selbstverständlich mitten im Geschehen steht😂Apolla möchte einfach dabei sein. Sie liebt den Kontakt zu ihren Menschen, möchte am liebsten alles gemeinsam erleben und kommentiert das Ganze natürlich ausgiebig. Ob beim Kochen, Aufräumen oder einfach beim gemütlichen Sitzen, Apolla findet bestimmt etwas, zu dem sie noch eine Meinung beisteuern kann😅Und wenn gerade mal nichts Spannendes passiert, kann Apolla auch ganz anders. Sie kuschelt gerne, genießt ihre Streicheleinheiten und schnurrt zufrieden vor sich hin❤️ Natürlich braucht auch eine kleine Plaudertasche ihre Ruhephasen, aber grundsätzlich ist Apolla eine sehr menschenbezogene und liebesbedürftige Katze, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen sucht.Für Apolla wünschen wir uns deshalb Menschen, die gerne zuhören, viel Zeit mit ihrer Katze verbringen möchten und Lust darauf haben, ihr Leben wirklich mit einer Katze zu teilen. Wer eine unabhängige „Ich melde mich, wenn ich dich brauche“-Katze sucht, könnte bei Apolla möglicherweise eine etwas andere Erfahrung machen😂Nach einer entsprechenden Eingewöhnungszeit möchte Apolla gerne Freigang genießen und ihre Umgebung erkunden.Mit anderen Katzen ist Apolla gut verträglich und darf daher gerne zu einer passenden sozialen Katze ziehen.

About Apolla

What life with Apolla looks like

Apolla is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
