Elsa

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 6 months

Elsa, a small kitten, is urgently seeking her forever home. Sometimes a small cat's life begins with a heartbreaking story... Elsa was found alone on a busy street, just about five weeks old. Too young to be on her own. Unfortunately, we don't know her exact birthdate, but we estimate she was born in mid-June 2026. Fortunately, Elsa was lucky and was taken in by a loving foster home. There, she developed wonderfully and shows what a great, playful, and lovable kitten she is. Elsa is now vaccinated and microchipped and ready for her own home. However, Elsa doesn't want to go through life alone. Our kittens are only placed together, unless there is an already existing kitten of the same age in their new home. It would be especially nice if Elsa could move out with one of her friends from the foster home. Maybe with Anni, Toffee, or the little princess - they are also eagerly waiting for their own families. Elsa currently lives with her feline friends and four dogs at the foster home and is therefore familiar with living with dogs. Elsa is placed through the Ibbenbüren Animal Welfare Association. A prior meeting is expressly desired. Who would like to show Elsa that her life shouldn't end on a dangerous street, but where she finally arrives, loved and stays forever? Elsa is waiting for her people! Elsa is placed with a contract and deposit through the Ibbenbüren Animal Welfare Association and Surroundings e. V. If you are interested, please contact Petra.

Kleine Elsa sucht ganz dringend ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Manchmal beginnt ein kleines Katzenleben mit einer Geschichte, die einem das Herz bricht… Die kleine Elsa wurde ganz allein an einer vielbefahrenen Straße gefunden – gerade einmal etwa fünf Wochen alt. Viel zu klein, um auf sich allein gestellt zu sein. Ihr genaues Geburtsdatum kennen wir leider nicht, wir schätzen, dass Elsa Mitte Juni 2026 geboren wurde.Zum Glück hatte Elsa großes Glück und durfte auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle einziehen. Dort hat sie sich wunderbar entwickelt und zeigt, was für ein tolles, verspieltes und liebenswertes Katzenmädchen in ihr steckt. Mittlerweile ist Elsa geimpft und gechippt und bereit für ihr eigenes Zuhause. Elsa möchte aber nicht allein durchs Leben gehen. Unsere Kitten werden nur zu zweit vermittelt, es sei denn, in ihrem neuen Zuhause lebt bereits ein gleichaltriges Kitten als Spiel- und Kuschelpartner. Ganz besonders schön wäre es natürlich, wenn Elsa gemeinsam mit einem ihrer Freunde von der Pflegestelle ausziehen dürfte. Vielleicht mit Anni, Toffee oder der kleinen Prinzessin – auch sie warten sehnsüchtig auf ihre eigenen Familien. Elsa lebt derzeit gemeinsam mit ihren Katzenfreunden und vier Hunden auf der Pflegestelle und kennt somit auch das Zusammenleben mit Hunden. Elsa wird über den Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren vermittelt. Ein vorheriges Kennenlernen ist ausdrücklich erwünscht.Wer möchte der kleinen Elsa zeigen, dass ihr Leben nicht an einer gefährlichen Straße enden sollte, sondern dort beginnt, wo sie endlich ankommen, geliebt und für immer bleiben darf? Elsa wartet auf ihre Menschen! Elsa wird mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr über den Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren und Umgebung e. V. vermittelt. Bei Interesse meldet euch gerne bei Petra unter

About Elsa

What life with Elsa looks like

Elsa is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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 Elsa, answered.

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