Cat 1659

Female · Young · 3 years

A friendly and affectionate cat with a very special character. She approaches people openly, enjoys attention and likes to engage with her humans in her own way. At the same time, she is a confident and independent cat who knows exactly what she wants - and what she doesn't. As an Egyptian Mau, Cat brings some breed-specific characteristics. Cats of this breed are considered intelligent, active, curious and very independent. They like to explore their surroundings, enjoy dealing with things that happen around them and don't need their human's constant presence. Cat is also a little explorer and wants her own space. She is not a cat that just wants to lie somewhere comfortably and be taken care of all day. Cat is by no means unapproachable - on the contrary. She is friendly and affectionate, but likes to decide for herself when she wants closeness and when she prefers to go her own way. A home where her personality is respected and she is not pushed into something would be ideal. Cat has little to do with other cats. She doesn't necessarily need her fellow cats and would therefore be happy as a single cat. A coexistence with another cat is not excluded for her, but should not be a prerequisite for her.

Cat ist eine freundliche und zutrauliche Katze mit einem ganz besonderen Charakter. Sie geht offen auf Menschen zu, genießt Aufmerksamkeit und lässt sich gerne auf ihre ganz eigene Art auf ihre Menschen ein. Gleichzeitig ist sie eine selbstbewusste und unabhängige Katze, die sehr genau weiß, was sie möchte – und auch, was nicht. Als Egyptian Mau bringt Cat einige rassetypische Eigenschaften mit. Katzen dieser Rasse gelten als intelligent, aktiv, neugierig und ausgesprochen eigenständig. Sie möchten ihre Umgebung erkunden, beschäftigen sich gerne mit den Dingen, die um sie herum passieren, und brauchen dabei nicht ständig die Nähe ihres Menschen. Auch Cat ist eine kleine Entdeckerin und möchte ihren eigenen Freiraum haben. Sie ist keine Katze, die einfach nur gemütlich irgendwo liegen und den ganzen Tag umsorgt werden möchte. Cat ist dabei keineswegs unnahbar – im Gegenteil. Sie ist freundlich und zutraulich, entscheidet aber gerne selbst, wann sie Nähe möchte und wann sie lieber ihren eigenen Weg geht. Ein Zuhause, in dem ihre Persönlichkeit respektiert wird und sie nicht zu etwas gedrängt wird, wäre daher ideal. Mit anderen Katzen hat Cat eher wenig am Hut. Sie braucht ihre Artgenossen nicht unbedingt und wäre daher auch als Einzelkatze glücklich. Ein Zusammenleben mit einer anderen Katze ist für sie nicht ausgeschlossen, sollte aber nicht die Voraussetzung für ihre

About Cat 1659

What life with Cat 1659 looks like

Cat 1659 is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mönchengladbach in Mönchengladbach.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cat 1659, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cat 1659?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Mönchengladbach handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cat 1659 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cat 1659 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Mönchengladbach 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cat 1659 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 Cat 1659 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 Mönchengladbach early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cat 1659 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.
