🐾 Dorie sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

We are sadly seeking a new, loving home for our 10-year-old (05/2016) female EKH cat Dorie. This decision is incredibly difficult for us. Dorie moved in with my husband and our two other cats in April 2025. Despite much time, patience, and attempts, it has become clear that Dorie is overwhelmed by the cat companionship. She has previously struggled with my brother-in-law's cats, and unfortunately, our household with other cats is not working out either. Our male cat chases Dorie around the house, causing her significant stress. She withdraws and seeks unusual places like the sofa or dining table to escape. After about 1½ years, we have reached a point where we must say: this cannot continue for Dorie. She needs a home where she can finally find peace. Therefore, we are specifically looking for a home for Dorie as a single cat. A household without children would also be very important to us, to minimize disturbance and stress. Dorie is a pure indoor cat. ❤️ And who is Dorie? Dorie is a strong-willed, independent little lady. She needs time to gain trust with new people, and this time should be given to her without pressure. Once she has accepted someone, she shows her incredibly loving and affectionate side. She likes to come to her humans when she wants attention, and deliberately seeks it out. At the same time, she makes it very clear when she has had enough - her boundaries should be respected. One of her favorite things is morning head kisses. 🥰 And when she has settled in with someone and is really relaxed, she loves belly rubs. Dorie also has some very specific things.

Schweren Herzens suchen wir für unsere 10-jährige (05/2016) EKH-Dame Dorie ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause. Diese Entscheidung fällt uns unglaublich schwer. Dorie ist im April 2025 mit meinem Mann zu mir gezogen und lebt seitdem mit unseren beiden anderen Katzen zusammen. Leider hat sich trotz viel Zeit, Geduld und verschiedener Versuche gezeigt, dass Dorie dauerhaft mit der Katzengesellschaft überfordert ist. Bereits früher hat sie sich mit den Katzen meines Schwagers nicht verstanden. Auch bei uns funktioniert das Zusammenleben mit anderen Katzen leider überhaupt nicht. Unser Kater jagt Dorie immer wieder durch die Wohnung, wodurch sie inzwischen sehr unter Stress steht. Sie zieht sich zurück und sucht sich teilweise ungewöhnliche Plätze wie Sofa oder Esstisch, um dem Ganzen aus dem Weg zu gehen. Nach rund 1½ Jahren sind wir leider an einem Punkt angekommen, an dem wir sagen müssen: So kann es für Dorie nicht weitergehen. Sie braucht ein Zuhause, in dem sie endlich zur Ruhe kommen kann. Deshalb suchen wir für Dorie ganz ausdrücklich ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze. Auch ein Haushalt ohne Kinder wäre uns sehr wichtig, damit sie möglichst wenig Trubel und Stress hat. Dorie ist eine reine Wohnungskatze. ❤️ Und wer ist Dorie eigentlich? Dorie ist eine charakterstarke, eigenständige kleine Dame. Bei neuen Menschen braucht sie zunächst Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Man sollte ihr diese Zeit unbedingt geben und sie nicht bedrängen. Hat sie jemanden aber erst einmal ins Herz geschlossen, zeigt sie ihre unglaublich liebe und verschmuste Seite. Sie kommt gerne selbst zu ihren Menschen, wenn sie ihre Schmuseeinheiten möchte, und holt sie sich dann auch ganz bewusst ab. Gleichzeitig zeigt sie sehr deutlich, wenn sie genug hat – ihre Grenzen sollte man respektieren. Eine ihrer liebsten Sachen sind morgens Küsschen auf den Kopf. 🥰 Und wenn sie sich an jemanden gewöhnt hat und richtig entspannt ist, liebt sie es sogar, am Bauch gekrault zu werden. Dorie hat außerdem einige ganz eige

Frequently asked

Adopting 🐾 Dorie sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about 🐾 Dorie sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzbund Düsseldorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation.

Can I adopt 🐾 Dorie sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzbund Düsseldorf 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 🐾 Dorie sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾 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 🐾 Dorie sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾 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 Katzenschutzbund Düsseldorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know 🐾 Dorie sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾 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.
