Dana

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Dana, a curious and lively five-month-old spayed female cat, is eager to explore the world. While her brothers have already left the shelter, the clever mouse is still waiting for her perfect match. Dana is a small explorer and incredibly interested in her environment and new toys - she is guaranteed to be the first to bravely investigate them. However, if you get too close, her uncertainty currently wins - she will then hiss briefly and retreat. Dana is still quite cautious here, but in experienced cat hands, she will certainly make further progress. With some patience, trust, and a loving introduction period, she will probably soon enjoy being petted. Therefore, patient interested parties with cat experience are sought for the sweet mouse, who will give her the necessary time and show her the beautiful sides of cat life. Since she does not want to be alone, she is looking for a home with an existing young and friendly first cat. Alternatively, Dana would also love to bring a suitable young cat friend directly from the shelter. After a corresponding introduction, the little explorer also wants to enjoy outdoor access in a safe environment.

Die rund fünf Monate alte, kastrierte Dana ist eine neugierige und aufgeweckte Katzen-Teenager-Dame, die darauf brennt, die Welt zu entdecken. Während ihre Brüder das Tierheim bereits verlassen durften, wartet die schlaue Maus noch auf ihre passenden Menschen. Dana ist eine kleine Entdeckerin und unglaublich interessiert an ihrer Umwelt sowie an neuem Spielzeug – hier ist sie garantiert die Erste, die es mutig untersucht. Kommt man ihr allerdings zu nahe, siegt aktuell noch die Unsicherheit – dann faucht sie kurz und zieht sich zurück. Dana zeigt sich hier noch recht vorsichtig, aber in erfahrenen Katzenhänden wird sie sicherlich weiter gute Fortschritte machen. Mit etwas Geduld, Vertrauen und einer liebevollen Eingewöhnungszeit wird sie sich bestimmt auch bald gerne streicheln lassen.Für die süße Maus werden daher geduldige Interessenten mit Katzenerfahrung gesucht, die ihr die nötige Zeit geben und ihr die schönen Seiten des Katzenlebens zeigen. Da sie nicht alleine bleiben möchte, sucht sie ein Zuhause mit einer bereits vorhandenen, jungen und zutraulichen Erstkatze. Alternativ bringt Dana auch sehr gerne eine passende, junge Katzenfreundin direkt aus dem Tierheim mit. Nach einer entsprechenden Eingewöhnung möchte die kleine Entdeckerin zudem unbedingt den Freigang in einer sicheren Umgebung genießen.

About Dana

What life with Dana looks like

Dana is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 Dana, answered.

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