Cari

Scottish Fold · Female

Cari, a 2-year-old Scottish Fold cat, is looking for a new home. She was living with a friendly family during the summer holidays, where she enjoyed the company of other cats and tasty food. She would come home late, eat, and sleep on a basket on the terrace. In the neighborhood, she was not known, so she was caught and brought to the shelter. It was a big change, but she has settled in well, loves cuddling, playing, and getting attention. She is "FeLV-positive," which means she has feline leukemia, but she shows no symptoms and can live a long life as a symptom-free carrier. She will be retested in October, as false positives can occur. She is hoping to find a new home with you, perhaps with a balcony, tasty food, and a couch to cuddle on. Just no other cats, please.

Hallo und guten Tag, mein Name ist Cari und ich bin eine 2 Jahre junge, liebe Scottish Fold-Katze. Mit Beginn der Sommerferien nistete ich mich bei einer freundlichen Familie ein, denn dort gab es nette Katzen und auch leckeres Futter. Ich kam immer spät abends, fraß mich satt und schlief auf der Terrasse in einem Körbchen, welches extra für mich dort hingestellt wurde. Morgens zog ich dann nach dem Frühstück wieder los. In der Nachbarschaft kannte mich niemand und so wurde ich nach einer kleinen Weile über das Tierheim eingefangen und hierhergebracht. Naja – das war schon eine Umstellung, doch da hier alle ganz lieb zu mir sind, habe ich mich gut arrangiert, liebe es zu schmusen und zu kuscheln – und natürlich auch das Spielen. Das macht mir richtig Spaß. Ich habe auch immer das letzte Miau und bin regelrecht empört, wenn meine Streicheltanten wieder gehen. Frechheit. Warum bin ich so oft allein? Mijaujaujau … Meine Lieblingstierpflegerin hat mir dann erzählt, dass ich leider separat untergebracht werden muss, auch wenn es manchmal langweilig ist, weil ich „FeLV-postitiv” getestet wurde. Das habe ich überhaupt nicht verstanden … was soll dieses „fälv” sein? Mit einer Engelsgeduld erklärte sie mir dann, dass ich Katzenleukose / -leukämie habe. Und dass das ganz doll ansteckend für andere Katzen ist – nicht für Menschen. Zum Glück zeige ich gar keine Symptome, das ist die gute Nachricht dabei. Denn trotz eines positiven Testergebnisses kann ich uralt werden – als sogenannte symptomfreie Trägerin – erklärte mir dann der Doc. Und der muss es ja wissen. Im Oktober werde ich auch nochmal getestet, denn manchmal sind solche Tests auch falsch-positiv. Miau! Also bleibe ich einfach mal hoffnungsvoll und freue mich auf mein neues Zuhause bei Ihnen – und gern auch Ihren Kindern. Dazu vielleicht ein Balkon, immer leckeres Futter und eine Couch zum kuscheln. Nur andere Katzen sollten da nicht wohnen.

About Cari

What life with Cari looks like

Cari is a adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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 Cari, answered.

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