Birdie

Mixed Breed · Female

Birdie Breed: European Shorthair Color: Tortoiseshell Gender: Female Date of Birth: Unknown Spayed/Neutered: Yes Birdie came to us following an official removal. At first, she was a very shy cat—which isn't surprising, given that she had been kept in a bird cage. However, once she’s gained your trust, she becomes a loving and cuddly cat. She’s looking for a quiet home with a cat-safe balcony. Other cats aren’t absolutely necessary, but if there are any, they should be very calm and sociable, as other cats still make Birdie feel quite insecure.

Birdie Rasse: Europäisch Kurzhaar Farbe: schildpatt Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: unbekannt Kastriert: ja Birdie kam durch eine behördliche Fortnahme zu uns. Sie ist zu Anfang eine sehr schüchterne Katze, was einen nicht wundert. Denn sie wurde in einem Vogelkäfig gehalten. Wenn Sie aber einmal vertrauen gefasst hat, ist sie eine liebe und verschmuste Katzen. Sie wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause mit einem Katzen sicheren Balkon. Andere Katzen müsse nicht zwingend vorhanden sein, falls doch sollte es eine sehr ruhige und soziale Katze sein, da andere Katzen Birdie noch stark verunsichern.

About Birdie

What life with Birdie looks like

Birdie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Birdie, answered.

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