Bella

Female · Kitten · 7 months

Bella comes from a larger group of cats. The animals were not spayed or neutered, so the group eventually grew so large that the owners decided to give the animals up. Bella is naturally a bit shy at the moment, but she shows clear interest in humans and is already quite brave when being touched. With people who understand cats, she will quickly forget all bad experiences and become a happy, playful kitten. Bella is only familiar with indoor living. If you want to offer her outdoor access, the living situation must be quiet enough. In her new home, a young cat/tomcat should be waiting for her, for play sessions, cuddle time, and shared adventures. She came to us with Moon and Tillmann, she gets along well with both and could move out with one of them. At the time of moving out, Bella is spayed, microchipped, and treated against parasites. She welcomes visitors at the foster home and is looking forward to people who will love her for a lifetime. PS A.S. Wachtberg

DE·Show original

Bella stammt aus einer größeren Katzengruppe. Die Tiere waren nicht kastriert und so wurde die Gruppe schließlich so groß, dass die Besitzer sich entschlossen haben, die Tiere abzugeben. Bella ist natürlich im Moment noch etwas eingeschüchtert aber sie zeigt deutliches Interesse an uns Menschen und lässt sich schon ganz tapfer anfassen. Bei Menschen, die Katze verstehen wird sie sehr schnell alle schlechten Erfahrungen vergessen und ein fröhliches verspieltes Katzenkind werden. Bella kennt bisher nur Wohnungshaltung. Falls man ihr Freigang anbieten möchte, muss die Wohnsituation entsprechend ruhig sein. Im neuen Zuhause sollte ein/e ebenfalls junge Katze/Kater auf sie warten, für Spielrunden, Kuschelzeit und gemeinsame Abenteuer. Sie kam zusammen mit Moon und Tillmann zu uns, mit beiden versteht sie sich gut und könnte mit einem von beiden zusammen ausziehen. Bei Auszug ist Bella kastriert, gechipt und gegen Parasiten behandelt. Sie empfängt auf der Pflegestelle gerne Besuch und freut sich auf Menschen, die sie ein Leben lang lieb haben werden. PS A.S.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a kitten cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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 — Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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.
