Adopt Celeste

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Color/Fur: black-white Sought-after Housing Form: Free roam with feline company The approximately 10-year-old Celeste is a calm and laid-back female cat who enjoys life at a relaxed pace. She doesn't need much hustle and bustle, instead, she observes her surroundings with a keen eye and is enchanted by the small things of everyday life. Celeste is very compatible with other cats and feels at ease in their company. Therefore, she will not be rehomed in single housing; a social cat friend should definitely wait for her or move out with her. Not long ago, Celeste successfully underwent dental work and is now ready for a new chapter of her life, where she can simply arrive and settle down. She wishes for a loving home with people who will give her the time to settle in at her own pace and show her that she has finally arrived. For her happiness, Celeste also needs free roam in a quiet neighborhood where she can leisurely make her rounds. Who will give this gentle soul her well-deserved place in the heart?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Farbe/Fell: schwarz-weiß Gesuchte Haltungsform: Freigang mit Katzengesellschaft Die etwa 10-jährige Celeste ist eine ruhige und gelassene Katzendame, die das Leben in einem entspannten Tempo genießt. Hektik braucht sie nicht, viel lieber beobachtet sie ihre Umgebung mit wachem Blick und lässt sich von den kleinen Dingen des Alltags verzaubern. Celeste ist sehr verträglich mit anderen Katzen und fühlt sich in ihrer Gesellschaft wohl. Daher wird sie nicht in Einzelhaltung vermittelt, ein sozialer Katzenfreund sollte unbedingt auf sie warten oder mit ihr gemeinsam ausziehen dürfen. Vor Kurzem hat Celeste eine Zahnsanierung gut überstanden und ist nun bereit für einen neuen Lebensabschnitt, in dem sie einfach ankommen und zur Ruhe kommen darf. Sie wünscht sich ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, sich in ihrem eigenen Tempo einzuleben und ihr zeigen, dass sie endlich angekommen ist. Für ihr Glück braucht Celeste außerdem Freigang in einer ruhigen Wohngegend, wo sie entspannt ihre Runden drehen kann. Wer schenkt dieser sanften Seele ihren wohlverdienten Platz fürs Herz? 🐾 Katzenhaus Oberwürzbach oder

About Celeste

What life with Celeste looks like

Celeste is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. in St. Ingbert.

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 Celeste, answered.

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