BELLA

Female · Adult · 4 years

Our European Shorthair cat BELLA was born on 01.04.2022 and is neutered. She came to us because her owner had to go to the hospital and could no longer take care of her. BELLA is a shy and fearful cat that requires a lot of time and patience to build trust. She can be temperamental and is sometimes cuddly with her trusted people, but decides for herself when she wants to allow closeness. In her previous home, she showed a pronounced aggressive behavior towards people, even towards familiar ones. Vet visits are particularly challenging. BELLA is looking for a quiet home without children with cat-experienced people who are willing to work with her and give her the necessary security. She is incompatible with other animals and will therefore only be rehomed in single ownership. For her well-being, BELLA needs a very large apartment with many retreat possibilities as well as a large, well-secured, and cat-safe netted balcony. -0Fax:

Unsere Europäisch Kurzhaar Katze Bella wurde am 01.04.2022 geboren und ist kastriert. Sie kam zu uns, da ihr Besitzer ins Krankenhaus musste und sich nicht mehr um sie kümmern konnte. Bella ist eine schüchterne und ängstliche Katze, die viel Zeit und Geduld benötigt, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Sie zeigt sich temperamentvoll und ist gegenüber ihren Bezugspersonen gelegentlich verschmust, entscheidet jedoch selbst, wann sie Nähe zulassen möchte. In ihrem vorherigen Zuhause zeigte sie ein ausgeprägtes aggressives Verhalten gegenüber Menschen, auch gegenüber vertrauten Personen. Tierarztbesuche gestalten sich entsprechend sehr schwierig. Bella sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder bei katzenerfahrenen Menschen, die bereit sind, mit ihr zu arbeiten und ihr die nötige Sicherheit zu geben. Mit Artgenossen ist sie unverträglich, daher wird sie ausschließlich in Einzelhaltung vermittelt. Für ihr Wohlbefinden benötigt Bella eine sehr große Wohnung mit vielen Rückzugsmöglichkeiten sowie einen großen, gut gesicherten und vernetzten Balkon. Liebe Interessentinnen und Interessenten, wir freuen uns sehr, dass vielleicht schon bald einer unserer Schützlinge bei Ihnen ein neues Zuhause finden darf. Bitte beachten Sie im Vorfeld einer

About BELLA

What life with BELLA looks like

BELLA is a extra-large adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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 BELLA, answered.

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