How do I contact the shelter about Ayla?

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

Can I adopt Ayla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein 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 Ayla 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 Ayla 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 Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ayla and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Ayla

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 5 months

Ayla was born on the street. Her mother is a very shy cat that does not trust people. Attempts have been made to catch her for spaying, but so far this has not been successful. Recently, when Desislava tried to catch Aylas's mom with a trap, she escaped again - and instead the little Ayla got caught. Desislava briefly considered whether she should put the little one back on the street. But it quickly became clear: Ayla should not lose this chance again. She took the little girl with her and gave her the opportunity to live a completely different life. Ayla shows herself to be a quiet and initially somewhat reserved cat with Desislava, who likes to let things come to her in peace. She needs a little time to gain trust - but when she realizes that you mean well with her, her curious and playful side comes to the fore. After a few hours, she ventured out of her hiding place with Desislava and began to explore her new surroundings. And anyone who wants to convince Ayla with a tasty snack has pretty good cards with her. She also gets along great with other cats. For Ayla, we wish people who give her the time to arrive at her own pace and show her the good sides of cat life. After her bumpy start, the little mouse can now start the cozy side of life. ‼️ Ayla is only being placed with an existing young cat of a similar age - or she brings a friend from Bulgaria! ‼️

Tierschützerin: Desislava Bogdanova geboren: ca. April 2026 Geschlecht: weiblich Aufenthaltsort: Bulgarien kastriert: nein FIV-Test: negativ FeLV-Test: negativ Handicaps: keine verträglich mit: Kindern: ja Katzen: ja Hunden: nicht bekannt Voraussetzungen: KEINE Einzelhaltung nur Wohnungshaltung, KEIN Freigang Balkon oder Terrasse wünschenswert (sofern vorhanden, ist die Sicherung erforderlich) Ayla wurde auf der Straße geboren. Ihre Mutter ist eine sehr scheue Katze, die Menschen nicht vertraut. Immer wieder wird versucht sie zur Kastration einzufangen, doch bisher ist das leider nicht geglückt. Als Desislava kürzlich erneut versuchte, Aylas Mama mit einer Falle zu sichern, entkam diese erneut – und stattdessen geriet die kleine Ayla hinein. Kurz überlegte Desislava, ob sie die Kleine wieder auf die Straße setzen sollte. Doch schnell war klar: Diese Chance durfte Ayla nicht wieder verlieren. Sie nahm das Katzenmädchen mit und schenkte ihr damit die Möglichkeit auf ein ganz anderes Leben. Ayla zeigt sich bei Desislava als ein ruhiges und zunächst etwas zurückhaltendes Katzenmädchen, das die Dinge gerne in aller Ruhe auf sich zukommen lässt. Sie braucht ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen – doch, wenn sie merkt, dass man es gut mit ihr meint, kommt ihre neugierige und verspielte Seite zum Vorschein. Nach ein paar Stunden wagte sie sich bei Desislava aus ihrem Versteck und begann, ihre neue Umgebung zu erkunden. Und wer Ayla mit einem leckeren Snack überzeugen möchte, hat bei ihr übrigens ziemlich gute Karten. Auch mit anderen Katzen versteht sie sich prima. Für Ayla wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und ihr die schönen Seiten des Katzenlebens zu zeigen. Nach ihrem holprigen Start darf für die kleine Maus nun gerne die gemütliche Seite des Lebens beginnen. ‼️Vermittelt wird Ayla nur zu einer bereits vorhandenen jungen Katze in ähnlichem Alter – oder sie bringt eine Freundin aus Bulgarien mit! ‼️

About Ayla

What life with Ayla looks like

Ayla is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein in Germany.

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.
