Adopt Belinda

European Shorthair · Female

Oh oh oh, a human, super: Hello! They call me Belinda in your language and in my cat language that means "Look, I like treats!" Anyway: What's your name? Where do you come from? Sorry, I'm rather curious and actually quite shy—but when I warm up, I'm a real snuggle cat. Or cat. Snugglecat! But I'm also a little princess and don't like other cats. But I don't need a roam-free area, a secured balcony is more than enough for me!

Oh oh oh, ein Mensch, super: Hallo! Belinda nennen sie mich alle in deiner Sprache und in meiner Katzensprache heißt das „Guck mal, ich mag Leckerlis“! Wie dem auch sei: Wie heißt du denn? Wo kommst du her? Entschuldige, ich bin arg neugierig und eigentlich sehr schüchtern – aber wenn ich auftaue, dann bin ich eine richtige Kuschelmaus. Oder Katze. Kuschelkatze! Ich bin aber auch eine kleine Prinzessin und mag andere Katzen nicht. Aber ich brauche auch keinen Freigang, ein gesicherter Balkon reicht mir vööööllig aus! Wie gesagt, ich heiße Belinda und ich könnte deine Belinda sein, also, ööh, w

About Belinda

What life with Belinda looks like

Belinda is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Belinda, answered.

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