Adopt Cheesy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

The gray cat Cheesy arrived in July as a found kitten with her two babies from Lügde under our care. The kittens have now found a new home. Since after the spaying, Cheesy desperately wanted freedom, we let her out on our premises, and she has joined our colony of outdoor cats. Patrons can support Cheesy by becoming a sponsor.

Die Grautigerin Cheesy kam im Juli als Fundkatze aus Lügde mit ihren zwei Babys in unsere Obhut. Die Kitten haben inzwischen ein neues Zuhause gefunden. Weil es Cheesy nach der Kastration unbedingt nach Freiheit verlangte, haben wir sie auf unserem Gelände rausgelassen, und sie hat sich zu unseren Hofkatzen gesellt. Ein eigenes Zuhause würde ihr aber noch viel besser gefallen. Gern kann man Cheesy auch mit einer Patenschaft unterstützen. Tierheimkonto: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

About Cheesy

What life with Cheesy looks like

Cheesy is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Detmold in Detmold.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Cheesy, answered.

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