Ebony

European Shorthair · Female

When one is a lady with enough life wisdom, one has the privilege of sitting down now and then and letting life purr by. Where was I? Oh yes, Ebony is my name and as I mentioned at the beginning, my fur has seen its share of life. Sure, due to my arthritis, I can't run as fast anymore, and I do need my blood pressure medication, but I am more than content with a purely apartment-friendly lifestyle. I do like other cats, provided they are also elderly, calm, and sociable – otherwise, not so much. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Wenn man eine Dame mit genug Lebensweisheiten ist, hat man das Privileg, sich auch mal hinzusetzen & das Leben vorbeischnurren zu lassen. Wo war ich? Ach ja, Ebony mein Name und wie ich eingangs meinte, mein Fell hat schon was vom Leben gesehen. Sicher, aufgrund meiner Arthrose kann ich nicht mehr so schnell weglaufen und meine Blutdrucktabletten brauche ich auch, aber ich bin daher mit einer reinen Wohnungshaltung mehr als zufrieden. Andere Katzen, sofern ebenfalls alt, ruhig & gesellig, mag ich gern – sonst nicht so. Und ich kann manchmal auch etwas kratzbürstig sein, aber das ist dann der A

About Ebony

What life with Ebony looks like

Ebony is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Ebony, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ebony?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Meine Katzenstation 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 — Meine Katzenstation 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 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 Meine Katzenstation 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.
