How do I contact the shelter about Buttercup?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Helfende Hände e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Buttercup on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Buttercup if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Helfende Hände 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 Buttercup 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 Buttercup 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 Helfende Hände e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Buttercup 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.

Buttercup

European Shorthair · Female

Buttercup ID No.: 147001 Breed: EKH Age: 05/2023 Gender: female Housing: Indoor/outdoor cat Neutered/Sterilized: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form It doesn’t matter how big or small the paws are that walk beside you—they leave eternal paw prints on our hearts. Our dear little Buttercup has quickly tiptoed her way into ours. Now that she’s ready to find her new family, we’d love to introduce her properly. Buttercup arrived at Triple A animal shelter in summer 2023 together with her siblings. Unfortunately, we don’t know what this little mouse experienced before then, but we’re incredibly glad she’s safe now and doesn’t have to struggle through life alone anymore. Buttercup is utterly sweet, friendly, cuddly, and brimming with purr-power and infectious joy ☺️ She gets along wonderfully with other cats and definitely wants to live with feline companions in her future home. True to her age, this pretty kitty is still quite active and playful. Buttercup needs plenty of space to play and romp around. If there’s a balcony, it absolutely must be fully secured—then this little tiger can enjoy fresh air and watch all the outdoor happenings safely. Buttercup already has her little cat suitcase packed! She’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and, of course, tested for FIV and FeLV. All that’s missing now is that one life-changing message. Vaccinations: Yes Plus €85.00 transport fee Contact person: Andrea Mürner Tel: Email:

Buttercup ID-Nr: 147001 Rasse: EKH Alter: 05/2023 Geschlecht: weiblich Haltung: Wohnung/Freigänger Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Es ist egal, wie groß oder klein die Pfoten sind, die einen begleiten. Sie hinterlassen Spuren für die Ewigkeit in unseren Herzen. Unsere liebe kleine Buttercup hat sich auch ganz schnell in unsere Herzen geschlichen. Da sie nun bereit ist, ihre neue Familie zu finden, möchten wir sie gerne einmal vorstellen. Buttercup kam im Sommer 2023 zusammen mit ihren Geschwistern ins Triple A Tierheim. Wir wissen leider nicht, was die kleine Maus bis dahin alles erlebt hat, aber wir sind sehr froh, dass sie in Sicherheit ist und sich nicht alleine durchkämpfen muss. Buttercup ist total lieb, offen, verschmust und voller Schnurrkraft und Lebensfreude, die einfach nur ansteckend ist ☺️ Sie versteht sich ganz prima mit anderen Katzen und möchte zukünftig auch auf jeden Fall mit anderen Katzen zusammen leben. Alterstypisch ist die hübsche Katzenlady natürlich noch recht aktiv und verspielt. Buttercup braucht viel Platz zum spielen und toben. Sollte ein Balkon vorhanden sein, müsste dieser auf jeden Fall komplett gesichert werden. Dann kann die Tigermaus frische Luft schnuppern und das Geschehen draußen beobachten. Buttercup hat ihr Katzenköfferchen gepackt. Sie ist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und natürlich auf FiV und FelV getestet. Nun fehlt nur noch die eine entscheidende Nachricht, die ihr Leben für immer verändern wird. Impfungen Ja Schutzgebühr 200,00€ zzgl. 85,00€ Transportgebühr Ansprechpartner Andrea Mürner Tel: Email: Anfrageformular

About Buttercup

What life with Buttercup looks like

Buttercup is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. in Germany.

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.
