Bella

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

– Mutter einiger Generationen Status: offen Name: Bella Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Farbe: rot weiß Alter: 3 Jahre Verträglich mit: Katzenmädchen Die etwa 3 Jahre alte Bella ist eine hübsche rot getigerte Katzendame, die schon ein paar Generationen Katzenbabies auf die Welt gebracht hat, bevor das Veterinäramt auf ihre Halter aufmerksam wurde und die gesamte Großfamilie beschlagnahmt hat… Als Bella zu uns kam hatte sie eine schlimme eitrige Gebärmutterentzündung und war bis zur OP wirklich nicht gut dran. Kaum zu glauben, dass diese Katze dennoch jederzeit absolut lieb und verschmust war, trotz der wahrscheinlich schlimmen Schmerzen! Nun jedoch hat Bella sich gut erholt, satt gegessen und darf von einem eigenen echten Zuhause träumen. Menschen mag sie sehr, Kater eher nicht so – aber der Vergesellschaftung mit einer netten freundlichen Katzendame steht nichts im Weg. Auch als Einzelkatze wäre Bella sicher sehr zufrieden, solange Kuscheleinheiten und Futtermenge reichlich vorhanden sind. Wunschzuhause: Bislang hat Bella als Wohnungskatze gelebt, ein gesicherter Balkon oder vielleicht auch verkehrsarmer Freigang sind sicher auch möglich. Kontakt: Anja Kalisch,

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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.
