Britta

Female · Adult · 6 years

Breed: European Shorthair Gender: female Birthdate: 2018/2019 Color: black with white The cat came from an immigrant farm in Widdern and always gave birth to her kittens in the fall there. On December 2, 2024, she was caught. Britta was initially very fearful and needed time to get used to people. Currently, she has become more trusting and allows her trusted people to pet her. At our shelter, she shares a room with other cats and is social.

Rasse: Europäisch Kurzhaar Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: 2018/2019 Farbe: schwarz mit weißDie Katze stammt von einem Aussiedlerhof in Widdern und brachte dort immer im Herbst ihre Kinder zur Welt. Am 02.12.2024 konnte sie eingefangen werden. Britta war anfangs sehr ängstlich und brauchte Zeit um sich an Menschen zu gewöhnen. Zwischenzeitlich ist sie zutraulicher geworden und lässt sie sich von ihren Bezugspersonen streicheln. Bei uns teilt sie sich ein Zimmer mit anderen Katzen und zeigt sich sozial.

About Britta

What life with Britta looks like

Britta is a adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

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 Britta, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Britta?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 — Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 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 Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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.
