Adopt Befana

Female · Adult · 9 years

The little Befana was born around July 2025 in Spain and has already been through a lot: The tiny kitten lived on the street and to protect itself from the cold, it fled into the engine of a car. It was very lucky and was discovered by our partners before anything worse could happen. Currently, they are taking care of the kitten with lots of love and hope that it will quickly find a safe home. The little female cat is very social and really wants to live with an approximately same-age kitten so that the two can cuddle, play, and romp together. She would also be happy to bring one of her friends along; she gets along particularly well with Minikinder and Monchi. Befana is super open and loving. She loves cuddles and her people. The wonderful Befana has a naturally kinked tail, but it doesn't affect her in any way—she plays, romps, and jumps like any other kitten. The kitten tested negative for FiV and FelV. Additionally, it will be vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped upon entry. Befana will come with a spay/neuter clause. Can the sweet Befana perhaps find her forever home with you after all these hardships?

Die kleine Befana wurde ungefähr im Juli 2025 in Spanien geboren und hat schon einies hinter sich: Das kleine Kitten lebte auf der Straße und um sich vor der Kälte zu schützen, flüchtete es in den Motor eines Autos. Es hatte sehr viel Glück und wurde von unseren Partnern entdeckt, bevor Schlimmeres passieren konnte. Derzeit kümmern sie sich mit viel Liebe um das Katzenbaby und hoffen, dass es schnell ein geborgenes Zuhause findet. Das Katzenmädchen ist sehr sozial und möchte unbedingt mit einem ca. gleichaltrigen Kitten zusammenwohnen, damit die beiden zusammen kuscheln, spielen und herumtoben können. Sie kann auch gerne einen ihrer Freunde mitbringen, mit Minikinder und Monchi versteht sie sich besonders gut. Befana ist super aufgeschlossen und liebevoll. Sie liebt Kuscheleinheiten und ihre Menschen. Die wundervolle Befana hat einen angeborenen, geknickten Schwanz, der sie aber in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt - sie spielt, tobt und springt wie jedes andere Kätzchen. Das Katzenbaby wurde negativ auf FiV und FelV getestet. Außerdem wird es bei Einreise geimpft, entwurmt und gechipt sein. Befana wird mit Kastrationsklausel im Schutzvertrag vermittelt. Darf die süße Befana nach all den Strapazen vielleicht bei dir ihr Für-immer-Zuhause finden?

About Befana

What life with Befana looks like

Befana is a adult cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Befana, answered.

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