How do I contact the shelter about Ely?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ely on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ely if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. 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 Ely 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 Ely 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 Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ely 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.

Ely

Female · Kitten · 2 months

Ely * 14.07.2026: Our sweet Ely is a small, adorable kitten who is playful and affectionate in her own way. At first, she may seem a bit shy and take time to get to know who is standing in front of her. But once Ely has gained trust, she reveals her true nature and all that is inside her: She becomes a cuddly mouse and enjoys the closeness of her humans to the fullest. She especially loves to play and romp, both with her siblings and with us two-legged ones. Everything that moves is then enthusiastically pursued and played with heart and soul 😸⚾ And when enough playing and romping has been done, the play mouse turns back into a cuddly mouse. Both indoor living (with a secured balcony, if desired) or traffic-calmed outdoor access (after spaying/neutering) are possible. She can move in with one of her siblings or a young existing cat. At the time of moving out, she is vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, and thus ideally prepared for her new life. Now Ely is looking for loving people who will give her the time to settle in and gain trust. And whoever wins her heart will receive trust and gratitude in return! 🐱❤️ Foster home: T.T.

Ely * 14.07.2026: Unsere liebe Ely ist ein kleines, zuckersüßes Katzenmädchen, das alterstypisch verspielt und auch verschmust ist. Die kleine Zuckerschnute tut anfangs ein wenig schüchtern und schaut sich erst mal an, wer da vor ihr steht. Aber wenn Ely Vertrauen gefasst hat, zeigt sie, wie sie wirklich ist und was in ihr steckt: Dann wird sie zur Schmusemaus und genießt die Nähe ihrer Menschen in vollen Zügen. Sie liebt es besonders zu spielen und zu toben, sowohl mit ihren Geschwistern als auch mit uns Zweibeinern. Dann wird alles, was sich bewegt, mit Begeisterung verfolgt und nach Herzenslust gespielt😸⚾ Und wenn genug gespielt und herumgetollt wurde, wird aus der Spielmaus wieder eine Kuschelmaus. Sowohl Wohnungshaltung (gerne mit gesichertem Balkon) oder verkehrsberuhigter Freigang (nach der Kastration) sind möglich. Sie kann mit einem ihrer Geschwisterchen oder zu einer bestehenden, jungen Katze ziehen. Beim Auszug ist sie geimpft, entwurmt und gechippt und damit bestens vorbereitet auf ihr neues Leben. Jetzt sucht Ely liebe Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Und wer ihr Herz erobert hat, bekommt Vertrauen und Dankbarkeit doppelt zurück!🐱❤️ Pflegestelle: T.T. Niederdürenbach

About Ely

What life with Ely looks like

Ely is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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.
