Aurelia

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Hallo, ich bin Aurelia – eine getigerte Katze mit weißen Abzeichen. Ich bin drei Jahre alt und ich glaube, ich habe es den Menschen bisher nicht besonders leicht gemacht. Ich bin nämlich eine verwilderte Katze. Wenn ich Angst bekomme, fauche ich. Wenn mir jemand zu nahekommt, ziehe ich mich zurück. Vertrauen? Das fällt mir echt schwer. Dabei habe ich schon so viel erlebt. Ich kam als Fundtier ins Tierheim – zusammen mit meinen beiden Kitten Solara und Helios. Ich habe sie beschützt, für sie gesorgt und ihnen gezeigt, wie man als kleine Katze durchs Leben kommt. Jetzt sind die beiden groß genug und gehen ihre eigenen Wege. Und ich? Manchmal frage ich mich, ob überhaupt jemand eine Katze wie mich haben möchte. Eine Katze, die nicht sofort auf den Schoß springt und schnurrt, wenn ein Mensch kommt und die erst einmal Abstand braucht. Doch ich möchte nicht für immer im Tierheim bleiben. Ich glaube, ich brauche einfach einen anderen Platz. Ein ruhiger Hof könnte mir gut gefallen, ein bisschen Freiheit, Menschen, die verstehen, dass ich kein Kuscheltier bin – und die mir trotzdem eine Chance geben. Vielleicht könnte ich dort auch einen Job finden: Als Mäusefängerin.

About Aurelia

What life with Aurelia looks like

Aurelia is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Aurelia, answered.

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