Elfie

Persian · Female · Young · 2 years

Elfie was surrendered to us on 19.04.2026. The white Persian-mix cat is very open and friendly. Elfie loves to be thoroughly stroked and can never get enough of it. She follows her human around everywhere and makes a lot of noise to draw attention. Probably this is a reaction to the fact that Elfie is deaf. Deaf cats do not perceive their own voice, so they express themselves louder to hear themselves or to show separation anxiety. Usually, deaf cats respond well to touch, so they can be calmed down by gentle stroking or brushing. This tactile communication will certainly give Elfie, who was born on 1.4.2024, a feeling of security. We are looking for a quiet home for the single princess, where people can also offer her a secure outdoor access, for example in the garden or on the terrace. Elfie is currently not available for adoption.

Elfie wurde am 19.04.2026 bei uns abgegeben. Die weiße Perser-Mix-Katze ist sehr aufgeschlossen und freundlich. Elfie liebt es, ausgiebig gestreichelt zu werden und kann davon nicht genug bekommen. Ihren Menschen folgt sie auf Schritt und Tritt und macht dabei lauthals auf sich aufmerksam. Vermutlich ist das eine Reaktion darauf, dass Elfie taub ist. Da taube Katzen ihre eigene Stimme nicht wahrnehmen, äußern sie sich lauter, um sich selbst zu hören oder um Verlassensängste auszudrücken. Meistens reagieren taube Katzen gut auf Berührungen, so dass sie durch sanftes Streicheln oder Bürsten gut beruhigt werden können. Diese taktile Kommunikation wird bestimmt auch Elfie, die am 1.4.2024 geboren ist, ein Gefühl von Sicherheit vermitteln. Wir suchen für die Einzelprinzessin ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr auch den gesicherten Freilauf, z. B. im Garten oder auf der Terrasse bieten können.

About Elfie

What life with Elfie looks like

Elfie is a young adult persian cat waiting at Tierheim Münster in Münster.

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 Elfie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elfie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Münster 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 — Tierheim Münster 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 Tierheim Münster 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.
