Cleo

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Cleo has been on the move for a while and kept appearing at a couple's garden. One day, the homeowner discovered Cleo with her 4 kittens hidden in a planter behind the house. Cleo is looking for a permanent home with people who have some patience with her and let her settle down. Small children or other pets are not suitable. Large apartment with connected balcony or outdoor access in a quiet residential area. A cat flap should be available if possible. Cleo is still somewhat reserved around strangers. We don't know where she originally came from. She was never reported missing.

DE·Show original

Cleo war längere Zeit unterwegs und tauchte immer wieder bei einem Ehepaar in deren Garten auf. Eines Tages entdeckte die Hausbesitzerin in einem Pflanzstein versteckt hinter dem Haus Cleo mit ihren 4 Jungen. Cleo wünscht sich ein endgültiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die noch etwas Geduld mit ihr haben und sie in Ruhe ankommen lassen. Zu kleine Kinder oder andere Haustiere sind nicht geeignet. Große Wohnung mit vernetztem Balkon oder Auslauf in ruhiger Wohnlage. Eine Katzenklappe sollte dann möglichst vorhanden sein. Cleo ist noch etwas zurückhaltend fremden Menschen gegenüber. Wo sie ursprünglich her kam, wissen wir nicht. Vermisst wurde sie nicht. nein

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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. Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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 — Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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 Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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.
