Bloom | EFfL e.V

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

♀ born around 2019 independent - Single cat in 14482 Potsdam is a cat born around June 2019 and is located in 14482 Potsdam. Bloom has already experienced a lot and is therefore looking for a very special person. She was given away because her owner was expecting a child and her owner believed that cats and children do not belong in the same home. She lived there alone for 6 years, unneutered, more as accessories than family members. We took her in, had her neutered, vaccinated, and chipped, and tried to figure out how Bloom would like to live in the future. At first, she had a hard time getting along with other cats at her foster home, but there was also the occasional tomcat with whom she got along well and even began to integrate herself. However, she withdrew from her foster mother when other cats were in the room. When she is alone, she seeks the proximity of her can opener and likes to snuggle up to him. Then she also enjoys extensive cuddles. Since Bloom is a Scottish Fold cat, a breed suffering from a genetic defect that eventually leads to her bones beginning to grow, which is extremely painful, Bloom is already 6 years old and X-rays have shown that she currently only has very small signs of this and is pain-free. We would be happy to clarify this in a personal conversation. Bloom then moved to another foster home a few weeks ago with the option to stay there if she gets along with the existing cats. At first, she was very stressed, but over time, she conquered the house, and especially: the large roof terrace and the garden. Bloom loves to be outside! Unfortunately, Bloom does not love the other cats and also her new foster mother at all... She hisses, growls, and she sometimes attacks the cats quite severely. The attempt to integrate her into a quiet cat pack has unfortunately failed, and Bloom shows that she wants to be a solitary princess. We are therefore looking for a quiet home for Bloom, with an enclosed garden or at least a large balcony to which she has daily access. Small children should not live in Bloom's new home. Bloom is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. The adoption fee is 250€. Bloom needs loving people who recognize the sensitive being behind her facade, give her time to come, and take her as she is. She has also shown her cuddly side with us and has more than earned the right to finally move into the home that suits her. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.

♀ geb. ca. 01/2019eigenständig - Einzelkatzein 14482 Potsdam Bloom ist eine ca 06/2019 geborene Katze und befindet sich in 14482 Potsdam. Bloom hat schon einiges mitgemacht und sucht daher einen ganz besonderen Menschen. Sie wurde verschenkt, weil ihre Besitzerin ein Kind erwartete und Katzen und Kinder für sie nicht zusammen in eine Wohnung gehören. Sie hat 6 Jahre lang dort gelebt, allein, unkastriert, mehr als schönes Accessoires statt als Familienmitglied. Wir nahmen sie auf, ließen sie kastrieren, impfen und chipen und versuchten herauszufinden, wie Bloom zukünftig leben möchte. Mit anderen Katzen tat sie sich anfangs auf ihrer Pflegestelle schwer, doch es gab auch den ein oder anderen Kater, mit dem sie ganz gut zurecht kam und sogar anfing sich ins Spiel zu intergrieren. Jedoch zog sie sich ihrem Pflegefrauchen gegenüber eher zurück, sobald andere Katzen mit im Raum waren. Wenn sie allein ist, sucht sie die Nähe ihres Dosenöffners und legt sich gern zum kuscheln neben ihn. Dann freut sie sich auch über ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Da Bloom eine Scottish Fold Katze, also eine Qualzucht ist, hat sie es besonders schwer ein Zuhause zu finden. Scottish Fold Katzen leiden unter einem Gendefekt, der früher oder später dazu führt, das ihre Knochen anfangen zu wuchern, was extrem schmerzhaf ist. Bloom ist bereits 6 Jahre alt und Röntgenaufnahmen haben gezeigt, das sie aktuell nur sehr kleine Auffälligkeiten hat und schmerzfrei ist. Wir klären gern in einem persönlichen Gespräch darüber genauer auf. Bloom zog dann vor ein paar Wochen auf eine andere Pflegestelle mit der Option dort zu bleiben, wenn sie sich mit den vorhandenen Katzen versteht. Anfangs war sie sehr gestresst, doch nach und nach eroberte sie das Haus und vor allem: die große Dachterrasse und den Garten. Bloom liebt es draußen zu sein! Leider liebt Bloom die anderen Katzen und auch ihr neues Pflegefrauchen garnicht... Sie faucht, knurrt und sie greift die Katzen manchmal auch massiv an. Der Versuch, sie in ein ruhiges Katzenrudel zu integrieren, ist leider gescheitert und Bloom zeigt, daß sie Einzelprinzessin sein möchte. Wir suchen für Bloom also ein ruhiges Zuhause, mit einem eingezäunten Garten oder mindestens einem großen Balkon, zu dem sie täglich Zugang hat. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht in Blooms neuem Zuhause leben. Bloom ist kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 250€. Bloom braucht liebe Menschen, die erkennen welch sensibles Wesen hinter ihrer Fassade steckt, ihr Zeit geben anzukommen und sie so nehmen wie sie ist. Sie hat sich bei uns auch von ihrer lieben und kuscheligen Seite gezeigt und sie hat es mehr als verdient, endlich in das für sie passende Heim zu ziehen. ©2022 von Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V..

Frequently asked

Adopting Bloom | EFfL e.V, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bloom | EFfL e.V?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bloom | EFfL e.V on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bloom | EFfL e.V if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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.

Is Bloom | EFfL e.V 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 Bloom | EFfL e.V 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bloom | EFfL e.V 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.
