How do I contact the shelter about Canitas?

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

Can I adopt Canitas if I live in another country?

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

Canitas

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Name: Canitas Breed: EHK (European Shorthair) Gender: female, spayed Date of birth: approximately 01.08.2023 Size: adult, small size Location: Municipal Cat Shelter under the care of the animal welfare association CanFlix & Ampare, Mora la Nova, Catalonia (Spain) Blood tests: FIV and FeLV negative (tested 18.01.2024) Canitas arrived at the municipal cat shelter together with her sister Simi. Simi, who looks like a beautiful Siamese cat, caught everyone's attention with her striking appearance and was adopted almost immediately. Canitas, however, hasn’t been so lucky yet. She is a black cat whose only distinctive feature is her coat full of white hairs. These white hairs are not a sign of aging—the kitten has had them since birth, which is how she got her name Canitas, meaning “the Grey One.” Additionally, “the grey mouse” has an injured eye—a corneal injury to the eyeball. This injury doesn’t impair her in any way, but it does make her appear less appealing to potential adopters. The injury is a consequence of her life as a street cat… When Georgina and her team took in Canitas, it was clear that life on the streets had taken its toll on her. Canitas is a shy and fearful cat. She needs time and trust to open her heart. In Spain, her chances of adoption are close to zero: Canitas is already an adult, shy, has a visible flaw, no special coat color, and doesn’t belong to a sought-after breed. Still, we’re keeping all our fingers and paws crossed and hope to welcome this special girl to Germany very soon! Canitas’s adoption coordinator, Verena Strobel, would be delighted to hear from you by phone, email, or WhatsApp. Like all our cats, this unique kitty will travel to her new life microchipped, vaccinated (against rabies, Feligen, and Tricat Novum), dewormed, tested for FIV and FeLV, spayed, and equipped with an EU pet passport!

Name: Canitas Rasse: EHK (europäische Hauskatze) Geschlecht: weiblich, sterilisiert Geburtsdatum: circa 01.08.2023 Größe: ausgewachsen, kleine Größe Aufenthaltsort: Städtisches Katzenhaus unter der Obhut des Tierschutzvereins CanFlix & Ampare, Mora la Nova, Katalonien (Spanien) Blutanalysen: FIV und FelV negativ (getestet 18.01.2024) Canitas kam zusammen mit ihrer Schwester Simi in das städtische Katzenhaus. Schwester Simi, die wie eine wunderschöne Siamkatze aussieht, fiel durch ihre Schönheit auf und wurde deshalb im Handumdrehen adoptiert. Canitas hingegen hatte bisher nicht so viel Glück. Sie ist eine schwarze Katze, deren einziges auffälliges Merkmal der Körper voller weißer Haare ist. Diese weißen Haare sind kein Zeichen des Alterns- die Kätzin hat sie seit ihrer Geburt und hat dadurch auch den Namen Canitas erhalten, was so viel heißt wie „die Graue“ heißt. Zudem hat „die graue Maus“ ein verletztes Auge, eine Horhautverletzung des Augapfels. Die Kätzin hat dadurch keine Einschränkungen, sieht aber optisch nicht mehr so ansprechend für potenzielle Adoptanten aus. Die Verletzung ist Folge des Daseins als Straßenkatze… als Georgina und ihr Team Canitas aufnahmen hatte die Straße ihr sichtbar zugesetzt. Canitas ist eine schüchterne und ängstliche Katze. Sie braucht Zeit und Vertrauen, um ihr Herz zu öffnen. In Spanien stehen die Chance für eine Adoption gegen Null: Canitas ist bereits ausgewachsen, schüchtern, hat einen Makel, keine besondere Fellfarbe und gehört keiner gefragten Rasse an. Wir drücken der Kätzin trotzdem alle Daumen und Pfoten und hoffen sie schon bald in Deutschland begrüßen zu dürfen. Canitas Vermittlerin Verena Strobel freut sich über Ihrem Anruf, Email oder WhatsApp. Die einzigartige Kätzin reist wie all unsere Katzen gechipt, geimpft (Tollwut, Feligen und Tricat Novum), entwurmt, auf FIV und FelV getestet, sterilisiert und mit EU-Heimtierausweis ausgestattet in ihr neues Leben!

About Canitas

What life with Canitas looks like

Canitas is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierfreunde Europa e.V. in Simonswald.

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.
