Adopt Canneloni

Female · Young · 3 years

Canneloni is on trial in her new home. Canneloni – a gentle soul seeking patience and security. At around three years old, Canneloni came to us from an animal hoarding case, along with five other cats through a friend’s organization. It’s likely that these cats had little to no positive interaction with humans in their previous lives. Consequently, all six are still very shy, cautious, and prefer to keep a distance. Canneloni is one of the quiet observers. She is not yet seeking human proximity and does not want to be touched or cuddled. Instead, she prefers to observe from a safe distance what is happening around her. Of all six cats, however, she has shown the softest and most delicate nature – a calm spirit where one can sense that with time and patience, more of her character will come to light. Canneloni gets along well with her fellow animals. The cats support each other, snuggling in cozy nooks and feeling much safer in the group. Therefore, we are not placing Canneloni in individual housing. She should either move out with one of her familiar feline friends or to a pre-existing, friendly, and calm cat. For Canneloni, we wish to find a quiet home with patient people who have no expectations of her and who will give her the time she needs to build trust. A quiet daily routine, retreat areas, and understanding people can help her become braver step by step. General interest inquiry:

Canneloni ist Probewohnen im neuen Zuhause. Canneloni – sanfte Seele auf der Suche nach Geduld und Geborgenheit Die etwa drei Jahre alte Canneloni kam gemeinsam mit fünf weiteren Katzen aus einem Animal-Hoarding-Fall über einen befreundeten Verein zu uns ins Tierheim. Vermutlich hatten die Katzen in ihrem bisherigen Leben kaum oder gar keinen positiven Kontakt zu Menschen. Entsprechend sind alle sechs noch sehr schüchtern, vorsichtig und halten lieber etwas Abstand. Auch Canneloni gehört zu den stillen Beobachterinnen. Sie sucht aktuell noch nicht die Nähe zum Menschen und möchte noch nicht angefasst oder gekuschelt werden. Stattdessen beobachtet sie lieber aus sicherer Entfernung, was um sie herum passiert. Von allen sechs Katzen zeigt sie bisher jedoch die sanfteste und zarteste Art – eine ruhige Seele, bei der man spürt, dass mit viel Zeit und Geduld noch mehr von ihrem Charakter zum Vorschein kommen wird. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich Canneloni sehr gut. Die Katzen geben sich gegenseitig Halt, liegen gemeinsam in Kuschelhöhlen und fühlen sich in der Gruppe deutlich sicherer. Deshalb vermitteln wir Canneloni nicht in Einzelhaltung. Sie sollte entweder gemeinsam mit einer ihrer vertrauten Katzenfreundinnen ausziehen oder zu einer bereits vorhandenen, freundlichen und ruhigen Katze ziehen. Für Canneloni wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die nichts von ihr erwarten und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Ein ruhiger Alltag, Rückzugsorte und verständnisvolle Menschen können ihr helfen, Schritt für Schritt mutiger zu werden. Allgemeine Interessentenanfrage:

About Canneloni

What life with Canneloni looks like

Canneloni is a small young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

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 Canneloni, answered.

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