Baila

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 10 months

„Baila“ kam als sehr schüchterne Jungkatze zu uns ins Tierheim. Bevor sie zu uns kam, hatte sie kaum Kontakt zu Menschen und musste erst einmal lernen, dass von ihnen nichts Böses ausgeht.Seitdem hat „Baila“ eine richtig schöne Entwicklung gemacht. Sie ist immer mehr aufgetaut, deutlich neugieriger geworden und beobachtet interessiert, was um sie herum passiert. Bei fremden Menschen ist sie zwar zunächst noch zurückhaltend und braucht einen Moment, um die Situation einzuschätzen, doch von ihren vertrauten Menschen lässt sie sich inzwischen gerne streicheln. Dabei kann sie sich immer besser entspannen und zeigt, wie sehr sie die Zuwendung mittlerweile genießen kann.Für „Baila“ wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr weiterhin die Zeit und Sicherheit geben, die sie braucht, und Freude daran haben, sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg zu begleiten. Sie bringt ganz viel Potenzial mit und hat uns bereits gezeigt, wie viel sich mit Geduld, Ruhe und Vertrauen verändern kann.Besonders wichtig ist für „Baila“ ihre Schwester „Belia“. Die beiden geben sich gegenseitig Halt und Sicherheit und werden deshalb ausschließlich gemeinsam vermittelt.Für „Baila“ und „Belia“ suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung mit einem gesicherten Balkon. Da „Baila“ sensibel auf Unruhe und Trubel reagiert und ein entspanntes Umfeld braucht, sollten in ihrem zukünftigen Zuhause keine Kinder leben.

About Baila

What life with Baila looks like

Baila is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Baila, answered.

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