How do I contact the shelter about Birte?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Birte on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Birte if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 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 Birte 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 Birte 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 Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Birte 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.

Birte

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

I am Birte! I am 13 years old and looking for my new home. Maybe I can come back soon and stay forever. I have lived in the animal shelter's boarding house for a long time because my owner unfortunately fell ill and could no longer take care of me. It has now been determined that she will not be able to care for me in the future due to health reasons. This is very sad for both of us - and that's why I sincerely wish for a loving home where I can spend my twilight years. I am a very special female cat: very loving, people-oriented and incredibly affectionate. I enjoy the closeness to my humans and I am happy about attention and stroking. With my enchanting personality, I conquer hearts with storms. Despite my age, I am healthy and full of life. For my new home, I absolutely want outdoor access so I can explore the world at my heart's content, lie in the sun and experience my little adventures. A quiet, loving home with the possibility of outdoor access would be ideal for me. I have already experienced so much change and now I wish for one thing above all: to finally belong somewhere again. A person who loves me, gives me security and takes me as I am. I have no problems with nice fellow cats. In my new home, a lovely cat may already be waiting for me. To my diet: I have a very sensitive stomach and only tolerate sensitive wet food. Anything else makes me sick and it doesn't take long before I throw up. But that's also my only "blemish". If you would like to give a home to an older female cat with a lot of love in your heart, then I would be very happy to get to know you.

Hallo, ich bin Birte! Ich bin 13 Jahre alt und auf der Suche nach meinem neuen Zuhause. Vielleicht darf ich ja schon bald wieder ankommen und für immer bleiben. Lange Zeit habe ich in der Tierpension des Tierheims gelebt, weil mein Frauchen leider erkrankt ist und sich nicht mehr um mich kümmern konnte. Nun steht fest, dass sie mich auch in Zukunft aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr versorgen kann. Das ist für uns beide sehr traurig – und deshalb wünsche ich mir nun von Herzen ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem ich meinen Lebensabend verbringen darf. Ich bin eine ganz besondere Katzendame: sehr lieb, menschenbezogen und unglaublich verschmust. Ich genieße die Nähe zu meinen Menschen und freue mich über Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten. Mit meiner zauberhaften Persönlichkeit erobere ich die Herzen im Sturm. Trotz meines Alters bin ich gesundheitlich fast noch vollständig fit und voller Lebensfreude. Jetzt wo ich vermittelt werden darf, wurde ich einmal komplett durchgecheckt und es hat sich eine leichte Schilddrüsenüberfunktion herausgestellt. Zur Behandlung bekomme ich morgens und abends ein Schilddrüsenmedikant. Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir unbedingt Freigang, damit ich nach Herzenslust die Welt erkunden, in der Sonne liegen und meine kleinen Abenteuer erleben kann. Ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause mit Möglichkeit zum Freigang wäre für mich ideal. Ich habe schon so viel Veränderung hinter mir und wünsche mir nun vor allem eines: endlich wieder irgendwo richtig dazugehören zu dürfen . Einen Menschen, der mich liebhat, mir Sicherheit gibt und mich so nimmt, wie ich bin. Mit netten Artgenossen habe ich keine Probleme. In meinem neuen Zuhause darf also bereits eine liebe Katze auf mich warten. Zu meiner Ernährung: Ich habe einen ganz empfindlichen Magen und vertrage ausschließlich Sensitiv-Nassfutter. Von allem anderen wird mir schnell übel und es dauert nicht lang, bis ich mich übergeben muss. Wenn du einer älteren Katzendame mit ganz viel Liebe im Herzen ein Zuhause schenken möchtest, dann würde ich mich sehr freuen, dich kennenzulernen. Name Birte Nummer K 400-26 Geschlecht Weiblich Geboren ca. 01.05.13 Im Tierheim seit 18.08.26 Kastriert Ja Freilauf Ja Einzelhaltung nicht erforderlich

About Birte

What life with Birte looks like

Birte is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. in Wunstorf.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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.
