How do I contact the shelter about Earth?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Earth on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Earth if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen 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 Earth 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 Earth 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 Tierheim Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Earth 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.

Earth

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Earth, born around early 2024, is a sweet and very people-oriented female cat who is finally looking for her forever home. Earth really likes people. She is affectionate, seeks closeness and enjoys attention. Sometimes she can be a bit hasty - Earth is a cat who likes to be in the thick of things. Whoever meets her with some patience will get a devoted and lovable companion. Earth can't stand other cats, however. She prefers her humans and her home to herself and is looking for a place as a single cat. She would later like the opportunity to explore her surroundings on extensive walks outside. We wish Earth a home where she can arrive as a single cat, have her humans all to herself and enjoy outdoor time after settling in. People looking for a sweet cat with some temperament and her own mind might find the perfect roommate in Earth. If you'd like to meet her, please click the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way we get all the relevant information for an initial conversation.

DE·Show original

Earth, geboren etwa Anfang 2024, ist eine liebe und sehr menschenbezogene Katzendame, die nun endlich ihr eigenes Zuhause sucht. Menschen findet Earth richtig klasse. Sie ist verschmust, sucht die Nähe und genießt Aufmerksamkeit. Dabei kann sie manchmal ein kleines bisschen hektisch unterwegs sein – Earth ist eben eine Katze, die gerne mittendrin statt nur dabei ist. Wer ihr mit etwas Ruhe begegnet, bekommt dafür eine anhängliche und liebenswerte Begleiterin. Mit anderen Katzen kann Earth dagegen leider überhaupt nichts anfangen. Sie möchte ihre Menschen und ihr Zuhause lieber für sich haben und sucht deshalb einen Platz als Einzelkatze. Dafür hätte sie später gerne die Möglichkeit, ihre Umgebung bei ausgiebigen Streifzügen im Freigang zu erkunden. Für Earth wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem sie als Einzelkatze ankommen darf, ihre Menschen ganz für sich hat und nach der Eingewöhnung Freigang genießen kann. Menschen, die eine verschmuste Katze mit etwas Temperament und eigenem Kopf suchen, könnten mit Earth genau die richtige Mitbewohnerin finden. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Earth

What life with Earth looks like

Earth is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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.
