Adopt Eleonore

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

The seven-year-old, spayed British Longhair female cat Eleonore came to us as an abandoned pet due to a move. The poor thing had matted fur right down to the skin, so we had to shave her. Additionally, she is severely overweight, currently weighing 7.5 kg 😒. With her weight and matted fur, she couldn't even clean herself. Her teeth will be taken care of next week, and then she can start anew ✊️🤗. We have never experienced such a patient cat during grooming. Eleonore is truly enchanting, calm, and loving. She previously lived as an indoor-only cat in a single-pet household. We hope to find people interested in giving Eleonore a cozy home.

Die siebenjährige, kastrierte Britisch Langhaar Katzendame Eleonore kam als Abgabetier aufgrund eines Umzuges zu uns. Die arme Maus hatte verfilztes Fell, bis auf die Haut, sodass wir sie erstmal scheren mussten. Zudem hat sie starkes Übergewicht, aktuell wiegt sie 7.5 kg 😒 Bei ihrem Gewicht und dem verfilzten Fell, konnte sie sich nicht einmal mehr selbst putzen. Ihre Zähne werden in der nächsten Woche noch gemacht und dann könnte sie durchstarten ✊️🤗 Noch nie haben wir so eine geduldige Katze erlebt beim scheren. Eleonore ist wirklich zauberhaft, ruhig und lieb. Sie lebte vorher als reine Wohnungskatze in Einzelhaltung. Wir wünschen uns für Eleonore Interessenten, die ihr ein kuscheliges Zuhause schenken können.

About Eleonore

What life with Eleonore looks like

Eleonore is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Eleonore, answered.

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