Elina und 6 Katzenkinder

Unknown · Kitten · 1 month

We took over Elina, a cat mom, and her 6 kittens from the Eifel Animal Shelter in Altrich, who have accomplished incredible things in the past few weeks! In an animal hoarding case, nearly 80 cats (number unknown) must be secured, housed and cared for. The little ones can stay with their mom for a few more weeks and then look forward to visits from interested parties.

About Elina und 6 Katzenkinder

What life with Elina und 6 Katzenkinder looks like

Elina und 6 Katzenkinder is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Elina und 6 Katzenkinder, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elina und 6 Katzenkinder?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Mayen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elina und 6 Katzenkinder on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elina und 6 Katzenkinder if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Mayen 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 Elina und 6 Katzenkinder 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 Elina und 6 Katzenkinder 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 Mayen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elina und 6 Katzenkinder 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.
