Gender: female Born on: ca. 08/2025 Breed: EKH At the animal shelter since: 29.01.2026 husbandry: Free roam / apartment Elster came to us as a found kitten with her 5 kittens. She is still very fearful and requires a lot of time and patience. Perhaps a yard place could be a nice home for her with minimal requirements. Our cats suitable for apartment living are only matched with existing partner animals or with another buddy. Outdoor cats are only matched in quiet residential areas. This cat needs outdoor access.

About Elster

What life with Elster looks like

Elster is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Lübbecke in Lübbecke.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elster, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elster?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübbecke handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elster on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elster if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lübbecke 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Elster 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 Elster 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 Lübbecke early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elster 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.
