CANDY

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Candy is a sweet, friendly, and people-oriented cat. She was born on August 15, 2024, and was brought to the shelter by the police in July 2025 with her six kittens. Candy was very thin and struggled to care for her young kittens on the street. All her kittens have now been adopted, and Candy has gained weight. She has been at the shelter for over a year and deserves a loving home. Candy enjoys human company and sometimes gets bored in the shelter, leading her to overeat and become slightly overweight. She loves to play and enjoys the attention from volunteers. Candy is not fond of being lifted and held for long periods but can be easily transported. Initially, Candy did not get along with other cats, but she has grown accustomed to the adult cats she meets daily in the yard. She does not cuddle with them but lives peacefully with them. Candy dislikes dogs. In her new home, she would be happy with a cat that does not need a cuddle buddy. A connected balcony or a secure garden should be available. Candy has been at the shelter for too long and is often overlooked when people come to adopt a cat. She was a fantastic mother and lovingly raised her six kittens. Now it's time for her to find a family that will care for her and give her a home.

Standort: in Spanien Geboren: 15.08.2024 Geschlecht: weiblich Charakter: sehr freundliche, menschenbezogene Katze S..20.09.2026NICHT IN EINZELHALTUNG!20.09.2026Diese süße Katze heißt Candy. Sie wurde im Juli 2025 mit ihren sechs kleinen Kätzchen von der Polizei ins Tierheim gebracht. Candy war sehr dünn und es fiel ihr schwer, ihre jungen Kätzchen auf der Straße zu versorgen.Mittlerweile wurden alle ihre Kätzchen adoptiert und Candy hat wieder Gewicht zugenommen.Sie lebt jetzt schon seit über einem Jahr im Tierheim und hat es verdient, ein eigenes Zuhause zu finden.Candy ist eine sehr freundliche Katze, die die Gesellschaft von Menschen genießt. Manchmal langweilt sie sich ein bisschen im Tierheim und sie vermisst ihre Streifzüge und Entdeckungstouren.Das führt dazu, dass sie sich öfter dem Futter und den Leckerlis zuwendet, um sich die Zeit zu vertreiben. Sie ist deshalb ein bisschen übergewichtig geworden. Candy liebt es zu spielen und sie genießt die Streicheleinheiten der freiwilligen Helfer. Sie mag nicht gerne hochgehoben und lange festgehalten werden, kann aber problemlos transportiert werden.Anfangs mochte Candy keine anderen Katzen, aber mittlerweile hat sie sich an die erwachsenen Katzen gewöhnt, die sie täglich im Hof trifft. Sie schmust nicht mit ihnen, lebt aber gut mit ihnen zusammen.Hunde mag Candy nicht.In ihrem neuen Zuhause könnte sie gut mit einer bereits vorhandenen Katze zusammenleben, sofern diese keinen Kuschelpartner braucht.Sie würde ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder und ohne Hund bevorzugen. Ein vernetzter Balkon oder ein gesicherter Garten sollten vorhanden sein.Candy ist schon viel zu lange im Tierheim und wird immer übersehen, wenn Leute kommen um eine Katze zu adoptieren.Sie war eine fantastische Mutter und hat ihre sechs Kätzchen liebevoll großgezogen. Jetzt ist sie an der Reihe eine Familie zu finden, die sich um sie kümmert und ihr ein Zuhause schenkt.

About CANDY

What life with CANDY looks like

CANDY is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animal Help Espania in Odelzhausen.

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 CANDY, answered.

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