How do I contact the shelter about Ebony?

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

Can I adopt Ebony if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung 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 Ebony 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 Ebony 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 Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ebony 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.

Ebony

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Gender: Female, neutered. Adopted since: 2.9.2025. Features: Not singly housed, gets along with all cats, more reserved but cuddly with cats. Prefers to have a runaround but no small children. Personality: Shy, reserved, cautious, allows petting. Ebony is dressed in dark night-black fur and eyes so bright they shine like stars, her name meaning ebony. This picture-perfect, nearly one-year-old kitten girl is still quite shy and hasn't fully trusted humans yet. However, she has noticed that we're not so bad, as she allows petting and even lets someone pick her up gently when she feels safe. She needs a lot of time, patience, and calm to build trust. But she is already inclined towards humans. Food can win her heart. Ebony gets along exceptionally well with other cats and seeks their safety, observing much from them, which is why she should not live alone and would be a perfect match for another kitten between 7 years of age. A runaround would be great for her. Only a lot of commotion or for small children would not be suitable. A quiet, relaxed home would be perfect.

Geschlecht: Katze, Kastriert Bei uns seit: 2.9.2025 Merkmale: Keine Einzelhaltung, versteht sich mit allen Katzen, eher zurückhaltend, anschmiegsam bei Katzen. Möchte Freilauf haben, keine kleinen Kinder. Charakter: schüchtern, zurückhaltend, vorsichtig, lässt sich streicheln/anfassen. Dunkles nachtschwarzes Gewand und Augen, so hell leuchtend wie Sterne, das ist Ebony. Deren Name soviel wie Ebenholz bedeutet. Das bildschöne ca einjährige Katzenmädchen ist noch recht schüchtern und findet uns Menschen noch nicht so vertrauenserweckend. Mittlerweile hat sie aber gemerkt, dass wir gar nicht so schlimm sein können, denn sie lässt sich Problemlos streicheln und sogar vorsichtig auf den Arm nehmen, wenn sie jemandem vertraut und sich sicher fühlt. Sie benötigt viel Zeit, Geduld und Ruhe, um vertrauen zu fassen. Ist dem Menschen aber schon zugeneigt. Mit Essen kann man ihr Herz erobern. Ebony versteht sich super mit anderen Katzen und sucht bei diesen die Sicherheit, vieles guckt sie sich auch von anderen Katzen ab, weswegen sie keinesfalls alleine leben sollte und super zu einem anderen Kätzchen im Alter bis zu 7 Jahren passen würde. Freilauf wäre für sie super. Nur viel Trubel oder für kleine Kinder wäre sie eher nicht geeignet. Ein ruhiges, entspanntes Zuhause wäre perfekt.
