Bella

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Hello, I'm Bella. I came to the shelter very young and had little contact with humans before. That's why the world of two-legged creatures is still a bit unfamiliar and sometimes a bit scary for me. But here I show every day that a curious young cat lady is hiding inside me. I also play in the presence of people and stay relaxed, instead of immediately withdrawing. I let myself be touched and when stroked I slowly realize that it actually feels pretty nice. I just need a little moment to get used to it. For that I wish a home without a lot of hustle and bustle and with time to be able to arrive. A friendly and trusting cat buddy would also be good to imagine. If I have settled in well, I would also like to enjoy outdoor access later and explore my surroundings outside.

Bella geb. ca. Mitte Juli 2026 noch schüchtern freundlich zu Artgenossen späterer Freigang Hallo, ich bin Bella. Ich kam schon ganz jung in die Obhut des Tierheims und hatte vorher nur wenig Kontakt zu Menschen. Deshalb ist die Welt der Zweibeiner für mich noch etwas ungewohnt und manchmal auch ein bisschen unheimlich. Hier zeige ich aber jeden Tag, dass in mir eine neugierige junge Katzendame steckt. Inzwischen spiele ich auch in Anwesenheit der Menschen und bleibe entspannt liegen, anstatt mich sofort zurückzuziehen. Ich lasse mich auch schon anfassen und beim Streicheln merke ich langsam, dass sich das eigentlich ziemlich schön anfühlen kann. Ich brauche nur einen kleinen Moment, um mich darauf einzulassen. Dafür wünsche ich mir ein Zuhause ohne viel Trubel und mit Zeit, ankommen zu können. Ein freundlicher und zutraulicher Katzenkumpel wäre ebenfalls gut vorstellbar. Wenn ich mich gut eingelebt habe, möchte ich später außerdem wieder Freigang genießen und draußen meine Umgebung erkunden.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Lilienthal in Grasberg.

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. 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 Lilienthal 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 Lilienthal 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 Lilienthal 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.
