Betty

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

anfangs vorsichtig, lässt sich bei Vertrauen aber streicheln - weiter unten lesen Sie mehr Das Video wird via YouTube geöffnet: Informationen zum Datenschutz. Über Betty - Notfall Betty ist anfangs vorsichtig, wenn sie ihren Menschen aber kennt, liebt sie es gestreichelt zu werden, was man auch auf dem Video gut sehen kann. Ihrer Bezugsperson gegenüber hat sie sich geöffnet und genießt die Streicheleinheiten sichtlich. Leider wurde bei einem Bluttest festgestellt, dass sie Leukose positiv ist, was auch Katzenleukämie genannt wird. Auch mit dieser Diagnose kann man alt werden, denn die Krankheit muss nicht ausbrechen. Wichtig ist, dass diese Tiere wenig Stress haben und gut ernährt werden. Wir suchen daher eine/n ruhige/n Katzenfreund/in oder auch mehrere, die ihr trotzdem ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken. Sie ist eine wirklich liebe Katze und wartet nun schon sehr lange im Tierheim. Betty wird eine Wohnung (mind. 60qm) mit einem gesicherten Balkon für ein glückliches Katzenleben ausreichen. Natürlich würde sie auch zu gesichertem Freigang mit Garten oder Hof nicht nein sagen.

About Betty

What life with Betty looks like

Betty is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Betty, answered.

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