Britta

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Ich bin Britta … eine junge und liebe Katzendame auf der Suche nach einem gemütlichen Zuhause. Das bin ich: Ich wurde gefunden und bin eine freundliche Katze, die die Nähe ihrer Menschen genießt und sich über Streicheleinheiten freut. Deshalb wäre es besonders schön, wenn du viel Zeit für mich hast und wir gemeinsam ausgiebig kuscheln können. Generell bin ich gemütlich unterwegs, kuschle und schlafe gern. Bei mir wurde ein Herzgeräusch dritten Grades festgestellt. Außerdem muss man sich bei mir darüber im Klaren sein, dass ich eventuell jederzeit ein Lungenödem bekommen könnte – kann, nicht muss. Aber man muss es halt wissen. Meine Tierpfleger:innen beraten dich dazu gern. Ich wünsche mir … ein liebevolles, ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, in dem ich als Einzelprinzessin leben darf. Viel wichtiger sind mir Menschen, die gerne Zeit mit mir verbringen und mir Aufmerksamkeit schenken. Kleinkinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Hast du ein Plätzchen für eine liebe Katze? Dann melde dich gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Garfield-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Britta

What life with Britta looks like

Britta is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Britta, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Britta?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Britta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Britta if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Britta 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 Britta 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 Tierheim Berlin early rather than rehoming privately; they know Britta 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.
