Claire

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

over: I'm Claire and I'm super friendly at the animal shelter.❤️ My vet wanted to put me to sleep, but another vet decided I should be in the animal shelter instead. Here at the animal shelter, I'm very friendly, but there should be no small children in my new home. During my medication adjustment, I attacked the children according to my former owners. I had epileptic seizures in my old home, so I need to take two tablets daily. I take them without any problem when crushed in a pill holder. I've always looked forward to it and wait every morning and evening for my treat. At the animal shelter, I'm very friendly and love to snuggle. I get along well with other cats, and thanks to my medication, I haven't had any seizures here. Although I was used to being out, since I need to take my medication regularly, I shouldn't have an unsecured run anymore. My medication must be given to me every 12 hours. This means that for my people, they need to be well-organized so that I can always get my tablets at the same time. What you should also organize before my move: If you're ever unavailable, I should still get my tablets at my usual times. This means you need reliable people to take care of me when you're on vacation or otherwise unavailable. Another cat can live with you, and I wouldn't mind a bigger child who doesn't constantly chase me and is very quiet. Do you think we'd be a good match? Then please send an email and include some information about you and your housing conditions. Also, feel free to send pictures. This cat needs outdoor access. Suitable only for households with older children.

Ich heiße Claire und bin im Tierheim super lieb.❤️ Mein Tierarzt wollte mich einschläfern lassen, zusammen mit einem anderen Tierarzt, wurde entscheiden, dass ich lieber ins Tierheim sollte. Hier im Tierheim zeige ich mich sehr lieb, dennoch sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause keine kleinen Kinder wohnen. Während meiner Medikamenten Einstellung habe ich laut der Aussage meiner ehemaligen Halterin die Kinder attackiert. Ich hatte in meinem alten Zuhause immer wieder epileptische Anfälle. Deshalb muss ich 2 x täglich Tabletten bekommen. Die esse ich aber ohne Probleme in Kaustangen gedrückt mit. Da freue ich mich schon immer drauf und warte jeden Morgen und Abend auf mein Leckerchen. Im Tierheim zeige ich mich sehr lieb und schmuse gerne. Mit anderen Katzen vertrage ich mich gut und dank meiner Tabletten hatte ich hier noch keine Anfälle. Ich war zwar Freigang gewohnt, da ich aber regelmäßig meine Medikamente nehmen muss, sollte ich zukünftig keinen ungesicherten Freilauf mehr bekommen. Meine Medikamente müssen mir immer im Abstand von 12 Stunden gegeben werden. Das heißt für meine Menschen, sie sollten gut organisiert sein, damit ich möglichst immer zur selben Zeit meine Tabletten bekomme. Was ihr auch vor meinem Einzug organisieren solltet: Wenn ihr mal verhindert seid, sollte ich auch immer zu meinen gewohnten Zeiten meine Tabletten bekommen. Das bedeutet, ihr braucht zuverlässige Menschen, die sich um mich kümmern, wenn ihr im Urlaub seid oder anderweitig verhindert seid. Eine andere Katze darf gerne schon bei euch wohnen und gegen größere Kinder, die nicht ständig hinter mir herrennen und sehr ruhig sind, hätte ich auch nichts einzuwenden. Ihr denkt, wir passen gut zusammen? Dann schreibt bitte eine Mail an und erzählt darin am besten schonmal etwas über Euch und Eure Haltungsbedingungen. Schickt am besten auch gleich Bilder mit.

About Claire

What life with Claire looks like

Claire is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.

Note from the shelter: Epilepsy - requires medication twice daily at 12-hour intervals. Cannot have unsecured outdoor access due to medication schedule.

🇩🇪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 Claire, answered.

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