How do I contact the shelter about Britta?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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.

Britta

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Lady In Red Status: open Name: Britta Breed: EKH Gender: female/spayed Color: red Born: 01.05.2025 Compatible with: same-species animals Britta and her kittens came to the association as found animals. The situation of finding them was already a bit strange... Britta had chosen a chicken coop to give birth to her kittens safely. In itself, one would think it's not such a bad idea... But Mama Britta had made the calculation without Miss Hen, who was a hen in every way. Miss Hen was absolutely convinced that these six cute cat babies must have hatched from her eggs! And so she started immediately with her motherly role, as chickens do it. Zack, up on the nest, defend and keep warm. Britta's desperation grew with the hungry cries of her babies more and more, but Miss Hen fiercely repelled her and Britta had no chance to reach her kittens. Finally, the chicken coop owners also noticed the strange scenes that were playing out and called in animal welfare... Fortunately, the cat family could be secured quickly and reunited on their foster home. A rather relieved mother and hungry babies cuddled up together immediately. In the foster home, the cat family is developing splendidly and soon it can be said, "Pack your bags." We hope for Britta that she will also be seen and find her family quickly. Britta is a loving cat who likes to be brushed and stroked extensively. With strangers, she is sometimes still a bit frightened and needs some time to build trust. Our kittens must be spayed at 6 months of age. This must be proven to the association by a sterilization certificate. Wishful home: For Britta we are looking for a home preferably with a nice same-species companion. Free access in traffic-calmed residential areas should she definitely enjoy again after sufficient acclimatization time. Britta would feel most comfortable in a quieter household, with people who give her the time to get used to it. Contact: If you want to meet our Lady In Red, please contact Anja Kalisch

-Lady In Red Status: offen Name: Britta Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Farbe: rot Geboren: 01.05.2025 Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Britta und ihre Kitten kamen als Fundtiere in den Verein. Die Situation des Auffindens war aber schon etwas sehr skurril….. Britta suchte sich einen Hühnerstall um ihre Kitten geschützt zur Welt zu bringen. An sich sollte man meinen, gar keine so schlechte Idee… Aber da hatte Mama Britta die Rechnung ohne Fräulein Huhn gemacht. Fräulein Huhn, eine Glucke wie sie im Buche steht, war nämlich der felsenfesten Überzeugung, dass diese sechs niedlichen Katzenbabys auf jeden Fall aus ihren Eiern geschlüpft sein müssen! Und so startete sie unmittelbar mit ihrer Mutterrolle, wie Hühner das halt so machen. Zack, rauf auf das Gelege, verteidigen und warm halten. Britta´s Verzweiflung wuchs mit den hungrigen Rufen ihrer Babys immer mehr, aber Fräulein Huhn wehrte sie heftig ab und Britta hatte keine Chance zu ihren Kitten zu gelangen. Schließlich bemerkten auch die Hühnerstall Besitzer die merkwürdigen Szenen die sich abspielten und riefen den Tierschutz zur Hilfe… Zum Glück konnte die Katzenfamilie schnell gesichert und auf ihrer Pflegestelle wieder vereint werden. Eine ziemlich erleichterte Mutter und hungrige Babys kuschelten sich sofort aneinander. In der Pflegestelle entwickelt sich die Katzenfamilie prächtig und schon bald kann es heißen, Köfferchen packen. Wir hoffen für Britta das sie auch gesehen wird und schnell ihre Familie findet. Britta ist eine lieben Katze, welche sich gerne ausgiebig bürsten und streicheln lässt. Bei Fremden ist sie manchmal noch etwas schreckhaft und sie braucht ein wenig Zeit um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Unsere Katzenkinder müssen mit dem 6. Lebensmonat kastriert werden. Dies ist dem Verein durch eine Kastrationsbescheinigung nachzuweisen. Wunschzuhause: Für Britta suchen wir ein Zuhause gerne zu einem netten Artgenossen dazu. Freigang in verkehrsberuhigter Wohngegend sollte sie auf jeden Fall wieder genießen dürfen nach ausreichender Eingewöhnungszeit. Am wohlsten würde Britta sich in einem ruhigerem Haushalt fühlen, bei Menschen die ihr die Zeit geben anzukommen.
