Cleopatra

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 15 years

Unsere Cleopatra ist eine liebe und sanfte Katzendame, die anfangs noch etwas schüchtern ist. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat sie sich erst einmal eingelebt, zeigt sie ihre ruhige und liebenswerte Art. Cleopatra hat eine Augenverfärbung, die jedoch medizinisch nicht relevant ist und sie in ihrem Alltag nicht einschränkt. Mit anderen Katzen ist Cleopatra grundsätzlich gut verträglich. Lediglich dominante Kater mag sie nicht. Daher wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause mit einer sozialen, ruhigen Zweitkatze oder gemeinsam mit einer unserer Katzen aus dem Tierheim. Für Cleopatra suchen wir zunächst eine liebevolle Pflegestelle, die ihr Geborgenheit und Sicherheit schenkt. Vielleicht entwickelt sich daraus sogar ein Für-immer-Zuhause.

About Cleopatra

What life with Cleopatra looks like

Cleopatra is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. in Leverkusen.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇩🇪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 Cleopatra, answered.

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