Bryony

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 5 months

Our gentle and delicate Bryony is a one-year-old domestic shorthair cat. She was born to a feral mother and is still very young, having given birth to six kittens in the past year, four of whom survived. The kittens are now ready to be adopted, and Bryony is also looking for her forever home. Despite her first year of life without human contact, Bryony quickly sought out our shelter and discovered the joys of human affection. She is still a bit shy around strangers and takes a couple of days to warm up. Having a resident cat would be a big help, as this beautiful tiger-striped girl is very social with other cats and would love to have a companion. She would be a great addition to a home with older children or those with a calm temperament. Bryony is afraid of dogs. Given her outdoor experience, she would love to have the freedom to roam in nature. She would thrive in a more rural setting, as she would be overwhelmed by the stress of city life or a densely populated neighborhood.

Alter: ca. 1 Jahr 5 Monate Geschlecht: Katze, Kastriert Bei uns seit: 26.5.2026 Merkmale: Benötigt Freilauf, keine Einzelhaltung Charakter: Vorsichtig, zurückhaltend, sehr verschmust bei vertrauten Personen Unsere sanfte und zarte Bryony ist selber im letzten Jahr als Kitten einer Freilebenden Katze geboren. Selber noch furchtbar jung, hat sie in diesem Jahr, kurz nach ihrer Sicherung, 6 Kitten bei uns geboren. Von denen vier überlebt haben. Die kleinen sind nun ausgezogen und nur Bryony ist noch bei uns geblieben und sucht nun ihre Familie. Das sanfte Katzenmädchen hat trotz ihres ersten Lebensjahres draussen ohne Menschen, schnell den Kontakt zu uns gesucht und hat schnell bemerkt wie toll menschliche Zuwendung sein kann. Dennoch ist sie bei Fremden Menschen noch etwas unsicher und braucht 2-3 Tage bis sie so richtig auftaut. Eine bereits vorhandene Katze würde ihr dabei sehr helfen, denn das hübsche Tigermädchen ist sehr sozial mit Artgenossen und möchte gerne eine zweite Katze in ihrem Umfeld haben. Kinder wären sicher möglich wenn diese schon etwas älter oder selber eher von ruhigem Charakter sind. Vor Hunden hat Bryony Angst. Da sie das Leben draussen sehr gut kennt, wünscht sie sich nach Eingewöhnung Freilauf in die Natur. Sie sollte eher etwas ländlich leben, da Straßenverkehr oder eine enggebaute Wohnsiedlung sie doch zu sehr stressen würde.

About Bryony

What life with Bryony looks like

Bryony is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. in Eutin.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Bryony, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bryony?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bryony on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bryony if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung 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 Bryony 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 Bryony 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 Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bryony 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.
