How do I contact the shelter about Else?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wetzlar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Else on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Else if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Wetzlar 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 Else 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 Else 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 Wetzlar early rather than rehoming privately; they know Else 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.

Mixed Breed · Female

Hello, I’m Else 🥰 Together with my 2 babies, I came to the animal shelter because we didn’t have a home yet 🥺 That needs to change now ❗ My 2 little ones have already found their forever homes, and the people here say it’s now time for me to find a safe and loving home too 🍀 However, I’ll need people who are very patient and empathetic. I’m still quite shy—sometimes I’ll let myself be petted a bit, but I still find it pretty scary 😟 That’s why my new home should be quiet and ideally located in a more rural area. 🥰 Maybe someone would like to get to know me? 🍀 It’s best to get in touch via email: and we’ll then arrange a meet-and-greet appointment 🥰 See you soon, hopefully, your Else ❤️ (This description of me is just a snapshot from everyday life at the shelter. I might develop quite differently in my new home.) Please read our adoption criteria on our website first: Adoption Criteria – Animal Welfare Association Wetzlar and Surroundings e.V. (tierheim-wetzlar.de) Species: Cat. Breed: EKH. Date of birth: approx. 2024. Color: Black. Gender: Female. In the shelter since: April 11, 2026. Reason for surrender: Found animal. Adoption status: Available for adoption. Spayed/Neutered: Spayed. Outdoor access/apartment cat: Outdoor access. Emergency: No. Adopted on: Not yet adopted.

Hallo, ich bin Else 🥰 Zusammen mit meinen 2 Babys bin ich hier ins Tierheim gekommen, weil wir kein Zuhause hatten 🥺 Das muss sich jetzt ändern ❗ Meine 2 Kleinen haben bereits ihr Fürimmerzuhause gefunden und die Menschen hier sagen, dass es jetzt auch Zeit für mich wird, ein behütetes Zuhause zu finden 🍀 Hier brauche ich jedoch Menschen mit viel Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen. Ich bin noch sehr schüchtern, manchmal lasse ich mich ein bisschen streicheln, finde es aber noch sehr gruselig 😟 Deshalb sollte mein neues Zuhause auch ruhig sein und dort sollten keine kleinen Kinder wohnen. Ich werde bestimmt mal eine Schmusekatze, wenn ihr mir nur die Zeit gebt 🍀 Wenn wir eine gute Bindung haben, dann würde ich auch in den Freigang gehen🌳. Eure Wohnlage sollte dementsprechend ruhig und am liebsten sehr ländlich sein 🥰 Vielleicht mag mich ja mal jemand kennenlernen? 🍀 Meldet Euch am Besten per Mail: und wir machen dann einen Beschnupperungstermin aus 🥰 Bis hoffentlich bald, Eure Else ❤️ (Die Beschreibung von mir ist nur eine Momentaufnahme aus dem Tierheimalltag. Ich kann mich im neuen Zuhause auch ganz anders entwickeln.) Bitte lest vorab bei uns auf der Homepage die Vermittlungskriterien: Vermittlungskriterien – Tierschutzverein Wetzlar und Umgebung e.V.

About Else

What life with Else looks like

Else is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Wetzlar in Wetzlar.

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.
