Cleo

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Cleo – quiet beauty on the way back to trust. The lovely Cleo is a black female cat, born approx. 2024, spayed and came to us at the animal shelter as a stray. She once had a home – but was sadly left behind when her people moved. An experience that has left its mark. Nevertheless, Cleo shows how much gentle strength she holds inside: she already takes treats from the hand and is gradually regaining trust. At her own pace, quietly and carefully, she opens her heart a little more. Cleo is an outdoor cat and longs for a calm home with patient, understanding people – people who give her time and don't crowd her. Those who offer her this time will be able to witness how reserve slowly turns into closeness. For Cleo, we are looking for a place where she can finally stay. A home that shows her that trust is worth it – and that she will never be left behind again.&;&; For serious interest, we are happy to arrange a get-to-know-you appointment at .

Cleo – stille Schönheit auf dem Weg zurück ins Vertrauen Die hübsche Cleo ist eine schwarze Katzendame , geboren ca. 2024 , kastriert und kam als Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim. Sie hatte bereits einmal ein Zuhause – wurde jedoch beim Umzug ihrer Menschen leider zurückgelassen . Eine Erfahrung, die Spuren hinterlassen hat. Trotzdem zeigt Cleo, wie viel sanfte Stärke in ihr steckt: Sie nimmt bereits Leckerlis aus der Hand und fasst nach und nach wieder Vertrauen . In ihrem eigenen Tempo, ganz leise und vorsichtig, öffnet sie ihr Herz ein kleines Stück mehr. Cleo ist eine Freigängerin und wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen mit Geduld und Verständnis – Menschen, die ihr Zeit lassen und sie nicht bedrängen. Wer ihr diese Zeit schenkt, wird erleben dürfen, wie aus Zurückhaltung langsam Nähe entsteht. Für Cleo suchen wir einen Platz, an dem sie endlich bleiben darf . Ein Zuhause, das ihr zeigt, dass Vertrauen sich lohnt – und dass sie nie wieder zurückgelassen wird.&;&; Bei ernsthaftem Interesse vereinbaren wir gerne einen Kennenlerntermin unter .

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 Cleo, answered.

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