Berta

European Shorthair · Female

Berta kam als Fundtier zu uns. Sie hatte einen großen, schmerzhaften Abszess am Kopf. Die lange Behandlung hat Berta geduldig überstanden. Dieser ist nun vollständig abgeheilt und sie möchte endlich in ihr neues Zuhause umzuziehen. Berta ist sehr menschenbezogen und verschmust. Mit anderen Katzen ist sie nur bedingt verträglich, deshalb sucht Berta einen Einzelplatz. Sie ist geimpft, gechipt und kastriert. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit braucht sie eine Freigangmöglichkeit. Wer hat ein Plätzchen frei? Wer möchte ihr ein neues Zuhause geben?

About Berta

What life with Berta looks like

Berta is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ulm in Ulm.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Berta, answered.

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