Erna

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 3 years

Erna came to the shelter with her large kittens. When she arrived, she had an open wound in her armpit. We quickly took her to the vet, who said the wound is now fine. Erna is a rather cautious cat who doesn't seem to like life at the shelter very much. She still needs some time to settle in. When you sit down and spend some time with her, you'll find a very sweet and affectionate cat who loves attention. Erna needs a home with the time and patience to help her settle in.

Erna kom ind på internatet sammen med hendes store killinger, da hun kom ind havde hun et åbent sår i hendes armhule. Vi fik hurtigt dyrlægen til at tilse såret, som nu ser helt fint ud. Erna er en ret forsigtig kat, som ikke syntes særlig godt om livet her på internatet. Hun skal stadig lige bruge noget tid til at falde til. Når man sætter sig og bruge noget tid med hende oplever man, en meget sød og kælen kat, som elsker at få opmærksomhed. Erna har brug for et hjem som har tiden og overskuddet til at hjælpe hende med at falde til.

About Erna

What life with Erna looks like

Erna is a large young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Kattens Vaern in Kattens Vaern.

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 Denmark

Danish shelters follow EU pet passport rules and require an adoption contract. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized before placement.

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. Kattens Vaern 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 — Kattens Vaern 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 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 Kattens Vaern 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 (DA). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
