Cresselia

British Shorthair · Female

Cresselia - calm British Shorthair lady seeks her home. 🐾 Cresselia is a calm and friendly female cat who is nice and open to people. 🥰 She is one of the more laid-back representatives and doesn't need a constant action program to be happy. She also shows herself to be compatible with other cats, so a suitable furry friend could already live in the new home. 🐱🐱 For Cresselia, we wish her a loving home with a secure balcony, where she can arrive at her own pace and her calm nature is appreciated. ❤️ Older children are also welcome to be part of the family. So anyone looking for a friendly, adult roommate with a slightly more laid-back temperament should definitely get to know Cresselia.

About Cresselia

What life with Cresselia looks like

Cresselia is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Gelsenkirchen in Gelsenkirchen.

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 Cresselia, answered.

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