Ava

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Haltung: Haltung mit Freigang Im Tierheim seit: Oktober 2026 &; Ava – eine zurückhaltende Samtpfote sucht ein geduldiges Zuhause &;&; Ava ist eine junge Katzendame, die etwa 2025 geboren wurde. Sie kam als Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim. &; Noch etwas auf Abstand Menschen gegenüber ist Ava aktuell noch sehr vorsichtig und lässt sich bislang noch nicht gerne anfassen. Für sie ist der Tierheimalltag und die Nähe zu uns Menschen noch neu und ungewohnt. Sie benötigt Zeit, um anzukommen und Vertrauen fassen zu können. &; Ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Freigang gesucht Für Ava wünschen wir uns verständnisvolle Menschen, die Erfahrung mit schüchternen Katzen mitbringen, keinen Druck ausüben und ihr das Tempo für Annäherungen selbst überlassen. Nach einer ausreichend langen Eingewöhnungszeit möchte Ava unbedingt wieder draußen auf Erkundungstour gehen und ihren Freigang genießen. Wer ihr die nötige Geduld entgegenbringt, wird sich über jeden kleinen Fortschritt freuen dürfen. &;&;&; Bei ernsthaftem Interesse vereinbaren wir gerne einen Kennenlern-Termin unter .

About Ava

What life with Ava looks like

Ava is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Lohr am Main in Lohr am Main.

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 Ava, answered.

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