Dolly

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Location: Romania, Orastie Gender: female, neutered Born: around April 2025 Character: Very social towards fellow animals, no solitary confinement! Dolly was initially shy around people and needed some time. Handicap: none known Hello, dear friends, I am Dolly. I and three other cats (Holly, Idun, and Helia) lived on a property and were tolerated there. This means we were not chased away and had to provide for ourselves. So, we essentially lived on the street. But now, something drastic has changed there. One of the people there has acquired some pigeons. And can we blame them? We chased them because we were hungry. The family there was very angry about it and threatened to place us somewhere far outside the city. That would have been terrible because we would have had even fewer chances to find something to eat, and we would surely have ended up in a bad situation. When animal rescuer Manuela heard about it, she acted quickly and took us in. We got a vet check, were vaccinated and neutered, and now we have regular food. Everything feels like a dream, but now I need to find a real home because Holly, Idun, and Helia have already found homes, and that is what I want too. I want at least one compatible cat friend in my future home. If you don’t already have a cat, that’s also no problem; I can bring someone from my foster home. There are still so many wonderful cats waiting for a home. What else can be said about me? Well, I am a bit shy. At first, I need some time to trust people. On my foster home, I already let myself be petted and am starting to really enjoy it. It would be nice if you could give me some time and be patient with me. I don’t want to be around small children because I would be a bit afraid. As said – I am neutered, have even received my first vaccinations against cat flu and distemper, am dewormed and treated for fleas, and if I travel to you, I will get a microchip and a rabies vaccination. You can read all of this in my EU pet passport. So, sign up, then I can pack my bags and start my journey to you. Then, my handler will get in touch with you, and you can discuss further. I am eagerly waiting for your inquiry!. This animal is microchipped.

Standort: Rumänien, Orastie Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geboren: etwa April 2025 Charakter: Sehr sozial Artgenossen gegenüber, keine Einzelhaltung! Dolly ist anfangs schüchtern Menschen gegenüber und braucht etwas Zeit. Handicap: keins bekannt Hallo Ihr Lieben, ich bin Dolly. Ich und noch drei weitere Katzen (Holly, Idun und Helia) lebten auf einem Grundstück und wurden dort geduldet. Das heißt, dass wir dort bisher nicht weggescheucht wurden, versorgen mussten wir uns selber. Wir lebten also im Grunde auf der Straße. Jetzt hat sich dort aber etwas drastisch geändert. Einer der Leute hat sich Tauben angeschafft. Und kann man es uns verübeln? Wir haben sie gejagt, weil wir Hunger hatten. Die Familie dort ist sehr böse darüber geworden und hat gedroht uns irgendwo weit außerhalb der Stadt auszusetzen. Das wäre ganz schrecklich gewesen, weil wir dort noch weniger Chancen gehabt hätten etwas zum Fressen zu finden und orientierungslos wäre uns sicherlich etwas schlimmes passiert. Als die Tierschützerin Manuela davon hörte, handelte sie schnell und nahm uns zu sich. Wir bekamen einen Tierarztcheck, wurden geimpft und kastriert und es gibt regelmäßig Futter. Alles fühlt sich an wie ein Traum, aber ich soll nun ein richtiges Zuhause finden, denn Holly, Idun und Helia haben bereits ein Zuhause gefunden und das wünsche ich mir auch. Ich wünsche mir im künftigen Zuhause mindestens einen passenden Katzenfreund. Solltest du noch keine Katze haben, ist das auch kein Problem, dann bringe ich einfach jemanden von meiner Pflegestelle mit. Hier warten noch so viele wundervolle Katzen auf ein Zuhause. Was gibt es noch über mich zu sagen? Nun, ich bin etwas schüchtern. Anfangs brauche ich etwas Zeit, um Menschen zu vertrauen. Hier auf meiner Pflegestelle lasse ich mich schon streicheln und fange an das wirklich zu genießen. Es wäre schön, wenn du mir etwas Zeit gibst und Geduld mit mir hast. Zu kleinen Kindern möchte ich lieber nicht, da hätte ich etwas Angst. Wie gesagt – Ich bin kastriert, habe sogar schon meine Erstimpfungen gegen Katzenschnupfen, -seuche erhalten, bin entwurmt und entfloht und wenn ich zu dir reise erhalte ich noch einen Mikrochip und eine Tollwutimpfung. Das kannst du dann auch alles in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Also melde dich, dann kann ich schon bald meine Koffer packen und meine Reise zu dir antreten. Dann wird sich meine Vermittlerin bei dir melden und ihr könnt weiteres besprechen. Ich warte sehnsüchtig auf Deine Anfrage! Deine Dolly

About Dolly

What life with Dolly looks like

Dolly is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

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 Dolly, answered.

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