How do I contact the shelter about Elara?

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

Can I adopt Elara if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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 Elara 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 Elara 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elara 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.

Elara

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Elara is a young female cat who was born around spring/summer 2025. She is social with other cats and people, and enjoys being petted. She has no known disabilities. My name is Elara. I am a young cat who was actually too small to be pregnant, but then I became pregnant. Someone didn't like that, so they took me and my two kittens and drove us out of the city to the nearest shelter, where they threw us over the fence. Luckily, they threw us over the fence of the private shelter and not the killing station next door! Nevertheless, we were a huge surprise for the shelter helpers when they found us. Because there are only dogs here and there is no room for cats. The animal rights activist Manuela then took us in and here we were allowed to rest and were well cared for. It was a great relief for me, because I had already worried a lot about my kittens. Now that my kittens are independent and no longer need me, I would like to find a real home where I won't just be thrown away, but where I can stay forever. I show myself very social here at the foster home and I would like to find a companion in my future home. If you don't already have a cat, I can bring a friend from here or my daughter. My son has already found a home. I am spayed and have already received my first vaccinations against cat flu and distemper, have been dewormed and de-fleaed, and when I travel to you I will receive a microchip and a rabies vaccination. I will also be tested for FIV and FelV. You can read all of this in my EU pet passport. Then my coordinator will contact you and you can discuss everything else. Your Elara

Standort: Rumänien, Orastie Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geboren: ca. Frühjahr/Sommer 2025 Charakter: sozial Artgenossen gegenüber. Keine Einzelhaltung! Lässt sich gern streicheln und ist offen dem Menschen gegenüber. Handicap: keins Miau! Mein Name ist Elara. Ich bin eine junge Katze, die eigentlich selbst noch viel zu klein war, aber dann trächtig wurde. Irgendwem passte das wohl nicht, denn als ich meine Kitten bekommen hatte, packte man mich und meine beiden Kitten und fuhr mit uns raus aus der Stadt zum nächsten Shelter und dort warf man uns über den Zaun. Zum Glück warf man uns über den Zaun des privaten Shelter und nicht der Tötungsstation nebenan! Trotzdem waren wir eine Riesen Überraschung für die Tierheimhelfer, als sie uns fanden. Denn hier gibt es nur Hunde und es ist kein Platz für Katzen. Die Tierschützerin Manuela nahm uns dann zu sich und hier durften wir erst mal ausruhen und wurden gut versorgt. Da war eine große Erleichterung für mich, denn ich hatte mir schon große Sorgen um meine Kitten gemacht. Jetzt wo meine Kitten eigenständig sind und mich nicht mehr brauchen, würde ich gern ein richtiges Zuhause finden, in dem ich nicht einfach weggeschmissen werde, sondern wo ich für immer bleiben darf. Ich zeige mich hier auf der Pflegestelle sehr sozial und wünsche mir im künftigen Zuhause einen Artgenossen. Sollte noch keine Katze bei dir wohnen, dann kann ich gern eine Freundin von hier mitbringen oder auch meine Tochter. Mein Sohn hat bereits ein Zuhause gefunden. Ich bin kastriert und habe schon meine Erstimpfungen gegen Katzenschnupfen und -seuche erhalten, bin entwurmt und entfloht und wenn ich zu dir reise erhalte ich noch einen Mikrochip und eine Tollwutimpfung. Auch werde ich noch auf FIV und FelV getestet. Das kannst du dann alles in meinem EU-Heimtierausweis nachlesen. Dann wird sich meine Vermittlerin bei dir melden und ihr könnt alles Weitere besprechen. Deine Elara

About Elara

What life with Elara looks like

Elara is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
