How do I contact the shelter about Clarissa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Clarissa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Clarissa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren 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 Clarissa 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 Clarissa 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 Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Clarissa 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.

Clarissa

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Clarissa (approx. 1 year old) was found as a stray cat and is now waiting for people who would like to give her a loving forever home. Her name means “the radiant one” or “the bright one”—and that’s exactly what she is. Clarissa is a sweet, curious, and playful young cat whose charming personality quickly wins hearts. She’s open, friendly, and brings many joyful moments into the home with her cheerful nature. Plus, she seems to be always hungry—she’s thrilled about every treat or meal and rarely turns down food. She gets along well with other cats, though she occasionally playfully teases her fellow felines in a gentle way. She’s very affectionate toward her humans and thoroughly enjoys their company. She especially loves snuggling up in her surroundings when it’s time to sleep, subtly showing just how comfortable and content she feels. Since Clarissa hasn’t shown any urge to go outside yet, we’d like to find her a home where she’ll live indoors, with a secure balcony. Clarissa will be rehomed through the animal welfare association Ibbenbüren and Surroundings e. V., subject to a protection contract and adoption fee. If you’re interested, please contact Silvia at [contact information].

Clarissa (ca. 1 Jahr) wurde als Fundkatze gefunden und wartet nun auf Menschen, die ihr ein liebevolles Für-immer-Zuhause schenken möchten.Ihr Name bedeutet „die Leuchtende“ oder „die Helle“ – und genau das passt zu ihr. Clarissa ist eine liebe, neugierige und verspielte junge Katze, die mit ihrem charmanten Wesen schnell die Herzen erobert. Sie ist offen, freundlich und sorgt mit ihrer fröhlichen Art für viele schöne Momente. Außerdem hat sie gefühlt immer Hunger – sie freut sich über jedes Leckerli oder eine Mahlzeit und schlägt nur selten etwas aus.Mit anderen Katzen versteht sie sich gut, auch wenn sie ihre Artgenossen gelegentlich spielerisch ein wenig neckt. Ihren Menschen gegenüber ist sie sehr zugewandt und genießt ihre Nähe. Besonders gerne kuschelt sie sich zum Schlafen in ihre Umgebung und zeigt auf ihre sanfte Art, wie wohl sie sich fühlt.Da Clarissa bisher keinen Drang zeigt, nach draußen zu gehen, wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit einem gesicherten Balkon. Clarissa wird mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr über den Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren und Umgebung e. V. vermittelt. Bei Interesse meldet euch gerne bei Silvia unter .

About Clarissa

What life with Clarissa looks like

Clarissa is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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.
