Carla

Mixed Breed · Female

🐾 Delicate cat lady Carla is searching for her quiet happiness 🐾 Some cats don’t need many words—they speak through their gaze, tiny gestures, and a gentle purr that goes straight to the heart. That’s exactly how our Carla is. 💕 The approximately 6- to 10-year-old beauty is a calm, reserved, and remarkably contented cat who’s happy with little—just a cozy spot to snuggle, a full food bowl, and loving people who let her take her time settling in. Carla loves petting, but she decides for herself when enough is enough. And when she’s had enough, she makes it clear—though unfortunately sometimes without much warning. That’s why it’s so important to read and respect her subtle body language. Those who understand this will find in Carla a loyal and gentle companion whose quiet nature makes each day just a little bit more beautiful. A calm household free of too much hustle and bustle would be ideal for her. Living indoors alone is perfectly fine—she doesn’t need outdoor adventures; all she needs is a home where she can feel safe and secure. Carla is a little soul with a big heart, simply looking for someone who’ll love her just as she is—quiet, delicate, and utterly special. 🌸 📋 Quick Overview * Age: approx. 6–10 years * Temperament: calm, shy, affectionate, independent * Special Traits: clearly shows when she’s had enough petting * Living Arrangement: exclusively indoor living, single-cat household * Ideal Home: a quiet household with people who respect her signals ✨ Carla—the quiet beauty who wins hearts when you give her time and trust. 💖

🐾 Zarte Katzendame Carla sucht ihr stilles Glück 🐾 Manche Katzen brauchen keine großen Worte – sie sprechen mit Blicken, mit kleinen Gesten und mit einem sanften Schnurren, das direkt ins Herz geht. Genau so ist unsere Carla. 💕 Die etwa 6-10-jährige Schönheit ist eine ruhige, zurückhaltende und sehr genügsame Katze, die mit wenig zufrieden ist – ein kuscheliges Plätzchen, ein voller Napf und liebevolle Menschen, die sie in ihrem Tempo ankommen lassen. Carla liebt Streicheleinheiten, aber sie entscheidet selbst, wann es genug ist. Dann zeigt sie das auch deutlich – leider manchmal ohne große Vorwarnung. Deshalb ist es wichtig, ihre feine Körpersprache gut zu lesen und zu respektieren. Wer das versteht, wird in Carla eine treue und sanftmütige Mitbewohnerin finden, die mit ihrer stillen Art jeden Tag ein kleines Stück schöner macht. Ein ruhiger Haushalt ohne viel Trubel wäre ideal für sie. Wohnungshaltung reicht ihr völlig aus – sie braucht keine Abenteuer draußen, sondern einfach nur ein Zuhause, in dem sie sich sicher und geborgen fühlen darf. Carla ist eine kleine Seele mit großem Herz, die einfach jemanden sucht, der sie so liebt, wie sie ist – still, zart und ganz besonders. 🌸 📋 Kurzübersicht * Alter: ca. 6-10 Jahre * Charakter: ruhig, schüchtern, liebevoll, eigenständig * Besonderheiten: zeigt deutlich, wenn sie genug Streicheleinheiten hatte * Haltung: reine Wohnungshaltung, Einzelhaltung * Wunschzuhause: ruhiger Haushalt mit Menschen, die ihre Signale respektieren ✨ Carla – die leise Schönheit, die Herzen gewinnt, wenn man ihr Zeit und Vertrauen schenkt. 💖

About Carla

What life with Carla looks like

Carla is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Stendal in Stendal.

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 Carla, answered.

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