Erna ist eine vierzehnjähre weiße Langhaar-Katze. Sie ist sehr vokal und mitteilungsbedürtig, wenn sie Zeit mit ihrem Menschen verbringt. Ansonsten ist sie meist eher ruhig und freut sich über einen bequemen Liegeplatz zum Schlafen. Sie ist eine reine Wohnungskatze und mag es, gebürstet und am Köpfchen gestreichelt zu werden. Gegenüber Gästen ist sie entspannt und legt sich gern dazu. Andere Katzen duldet Erna eher, als sich wirklich gut mit Ihnen zu verstehen. Günstig wäre daher die

About Erna

What life with Erna looks like

Erna is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Dresden in Dresden.

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 Erna, answered.

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