How do I contact the shelter about Bella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Waldtierheim Celle 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 — Waldtierheim Celle 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 Waldtierheim Celle 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.

Waldtierheim Celle, Im Sande 3 (access direction Osterloh) We need you—your support helps our dogs, cats, and small animals. Find out more now. We are urgently looking for farms, riding stables, etc., for our shy and feral cats, where they can find a safe place to live. More information: click here This charming cat is looking for a new home where she can be the absolute center of attention. She doesn’t want to share her territory with other cats and enjoys having her humans all to herself. As an outdoor cat, she loves exploring outside and roaming her surroundings—a home with secure outdoor access is therefore essential for her happiness. Yet she equally cherishes quiet moments indoors: she thoroughly enjoys cuddles and reveals her cuddly side during these times. For harmonious cohabitation, there should be no small children in her new home, as she prefers calmer, understanding company.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Waldtierheim Celle 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.
