Adopt Elly

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Elly arrived with your litter in March from an overcrowded cat intake station. She is very friendly and loves to snuggle. Elly has a deformed spine, which does not affect her movements. She was immediately friendly and provided security for her adult children in the new environment. Since Elly has lived with free roam, she can only be rehomed with free roam. This cat needs outdoor access.

About Elly

What life with Elly looks like

Elly is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Potsdam in Potsdam.

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 Elly, answered.

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