DOTTY

Female · Adult · 4 years

Our European Shorthair cat Dotty came to us as a found animal, which is why we unfortunately know nothing about her history. She is about 4 years old and already spayed. Dotty is looking for a loving and quiet home where she can arrive at her own pace. Initially, she is still a bit shy, but she is a people-oriented and affectionate cat who enjoys the closeness of her humans very much. Once Dotty has settled in, her lively and playful side also comes to the fore. She wants people who approach her with patience and understanding and give her the time she needs to build trust. We can imagine a home with children from 11 years old for Dotty. With other cats, she seems to be rather incompatible, which is why we prefer to place her as a single cat. Whether she could get along with a quiet dog would have to be tested on a case-by-case basis. Dotty is placed in apartment keeping and wants a cozy home where she can relax and enjoy the attention of her humans. With a little patience and a understanding environment, Dotty will surely show what a loving, affectionate and at the same time lively cat is in her. We are very happy that maybe one of our protégés will find a new home with you soon. Please note in advance of a

Unsere Europäisch Kurzhaar Katze Dotty kam als Fundtier zu uns, weshalb wir leider nichts über ihre Vorgeschichte wissen. Sie ist etwa 4 Jahre alt und bereits kastriert. Dotty sucht ein liebevolles und ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Anfangs zeigt sie sich noch etwas schüchtern, doch sie ist eine menschenbezogene und verschmuste Katze, die die Nähe ihrer Menschen sehr genießt. Hat Dotty sich eingelebt, kommt auch ihre temperamentvolle und verspielte Seite zum Vorschein. Sie wünscht sich Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld und Verständnis begegnen und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Ein Zuhause mit Kindern ab 11 Jahren können wir uns für Dotty gut vorstellen. Mit anderen Katzen scheint sie eher unverträglich zu sein, weshalb wir sie bevorzugt als Einzelkatze vermitteln möchten. Ob sie sich mit einem ruhigen Hund verstehen könnte, müsste im Einzelfall getestet werden. Dotty wird in Wohnungshaltung vermittelt und wünscht sich ein gemütliches Zuhause, in dem sie zur Ruhe kommen und die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen genießen kann. Mit etwas Geduld und einem verständnisvollen Umfeld wird Dotty sicher zeigen, was für eine liebevolle, verschmuste und gleichzeitig temperamentvolle Katze in ihr steckt Liebe Interessentinnen und Interessenten, wir freuen uns sehr, dass vielleicht schon bald einer unserer Schützlinge bei Ihnen ein neues Zuhause finden darf.

About DOTTY

What life with DOTTY looks like

DOTTY is an adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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 DOTTY, answered.

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