Dixie

Mixed Breed · Female

Dixie was found on a parking lot … or better: Dixie climbed into the car of animal lovers on the parking lot. She needed help and sought it out. At first, it was assumed that her large belly indicated she was pregnant, but she wasn’t. She must have been on the road for a while and very hungry, because when she relieved herself, parts of a plastic bag came out … hence her round belly. Additionally, Dixie has an old break on her tail … what has she experienced? Dixie is an open, very friendly, and also get-along-well-with-other-animals cat. Furthermore, she is curious, self-assured, snuggly, and uncomplicated.

Dixie wurde auf einem Parkplatz gefunden … oder besser: Dixie ist auf den Parkplatz ins Auto von Tierfreunden gestiegen. Sie brauchte Hilfe und hat sie sich gesucht. Anfangs wurde wegen ihres dicken Bauches vermutet, daß sie schwanger sei, doch das war sie nicht. Sie muß schon länger unterwegs gewesen sein und schlimmen Hunger gehabt haben, denn als sie sich erleichterte, kamen Teile einer Plastiktüte raus … daher ihr runder Bauch. Weiter hat Dixie einen alten Bruch am Schwanz … was sie wohl alles erlebt hat? Dixie ist eine aufgeschlossene, sehr freundliche und auch mit Artgenossen verträgliche Katze. Weiter ist sie neugierig, selbstbewußt, schmusig und unkompliziert.

About Dixie

What life with Dixie looks like

Dixie is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierrechtsorganisation Einhorn 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dixie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dixie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierrechtsorganisation Einhorn e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dixie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dixie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierrechtsorganisation Einhorn 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Dixie 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 Dixie 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 Tierrechtsorganisation Einhorn e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dixie 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.
