Cherry

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Cherry came to us as a found cat along with her kittens. She raised her kittens beautifully, and now she’s looking for the perfect home. Cherry is an outgoing and cuddly cat. She’s affectionate and thoroughly enjoys being petted. However, if things get too overwhelming for her, she can also give quite firm little swats—so we’re not placing her in a household with small children. At the moment, we can’t yet assess how Cherry will react to other cats of the same species. She loves spending time outdoors, relaxing there in the fresh air. After being spayed, Cherry would like to become an outdoor cat.

Cherry kam gemeinsam mit ihren Kitten als Fundkatze zu uns. Ihre Kitten hat sie gut großgezogen und nun ist sie auf der Suche nach dem passenden Zuhause. Cherry ist eine aufgeschlossene und verschmuste Katze. Sie ist anhänglich und genießt Streicheleinheiten sehr. Wenn ihr etwas zu viel wird, haut sie allerdings auch sehr beherzt zu, weshalb wir sie nicht in einen Haushalt mit kleinen Kindern vermitteln. Wie Cherry auf Artgenossen reagiert können wir aktuell noch nicht einschätzen. Am liebsten verbringt sie ihre Zeit in ihrem Außenbereich und entspannt dort an der frischen Luft. Nach der Kastration möchte Cherry Freigängerin werden.

About Cherry

What life with Cherry looks like

Cherry is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr in Germany.

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 Cherry, answered.

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