Betty

Mixed Breed · Female

Breed: EKH Gender: female Born: unknown Spayed: yes Betty is a somewhat shy found cat. She should not be with children, but a confident secondary cat could help her build trust. A separate room upon arrival would be good, as this way she can't hide throughout the entire apartment. Best placed with a resident cat (second-cat home).

DE·Show original

Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: weiblich Geburt: unbekannt Kastriert: ja Betty ist eine noch etwas scheue Fundkatze. Sie sollte nicht zu Kindern, aber eine souveräne Zweitkatze könnte ihr helfen, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Ein separates Zimmer zum Ankommen wäre gut, denn so kann sie sich nicht in der ganzen Wohnung verstecken.

About Betty

What life with Betty looks like

Betty is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Castrop-Rauxel e.V. in Castrop-Rauxel.

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 Castrop-Rauxel e.V. 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 Castrop-Rauxel e.V. 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 Castrop-Rauxel e.V. 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.
