ELFIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Elfie and her four siblings were abandoned in a tied-up bag when they were barely two weeks old. By a remarkable coincidence and sheer luck, our volunteers found them—and of course, immediately brought them to safety. Since then, all five have developed wonderfully and have long since switched from bottle feeding to solid food. Nothing now stands in the way of finding them their forever homes. Elfie and her brother Lui have been in foster care ever since they were found, where they’re growing up in a loving environment surrounded by fellow cats, other felines, and even a child. The foundation for successful socialization has thus already been laid, and a...

Elfie und und ihre vier Geschwister wurden in einer zugeschnürten Tüte ausgesetzt, als sie kaum zwei Wochen alt waren. Durch einen großen Zufall und ganz viel Glück haben unsere Volontäre sie gefunden und daraufhin natürlich sofort in Sicherheit gebracht. Seitdem haben sich alle fünf ganz wundervoll entwickelt und das Fläschchen längst gegen feste Nahrung ersetzt. Der Suche nach dem Für-immer-Zuhause steht also nichts mehr im Weg. Elfie und ihr Bruder Lui befinden sich seit ihrem Fund auf einer Pflegestelle, auf der sie umgeben von Artgenossen, Katzen und sogar einem Kind in behüteten Verhältnissen aufwachsen dürfen. Der Grundstein einer erfolgreichen Sozialisierung ist also bereits gelegt und eine

About ELFIE

What life with ELFIE looks like

ELFIE is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting ELFIE, answered.

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