Ete

Female · Young · 1 year

Ete was left in a box with a younger tomcat. The tomcat has since been adopted, so we are now looking for a new home for the young female cat where she will rarely be alone. She is very people-oriented in the shelter and cries out loudly for attention when she feels lonely. We would therefore also like to place her with a female cat of a similar age. If you are interested in one of our cats, please contact us by email. In your email, describe how the cat will live with you and send us a phone number. A caretaker will then contact you. Animal descriptions are based on observations in the shelter or information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed characteristics.

Ete wurde zusammen mit einem jüngeren Kater in einer Box ausgesetzt. Der Kater ist mittlerweile vermittelt, sodass wir nun für die junge Katzendame ein neues Zuhause suchen, in welchem sie so gut wie nie allein sein muss. Sie zeigt sich im Tierheim sehr menschenbezogen und ruft sehr laut nach Aufmerksamkleit, wenn sie sich einsam fühlt. Wir möchten sie deshalb auch unbedingt zu einer etwa gleichaltrigen weiblichen Katze vermitteln. Wenn Sie Interesse an einer unserer Katzen haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bevorzugt per E-Mail. Schildern Sie uns in der Mail, wie die Katze bei Ihnen leben wird und senden Sie uns eine Telefonnummer zu. Es wird sich dann ein*e TierpflegerIn bei Ihnen melden. Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar.

About Ete

What life with Ete looks like

Ete is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

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 Ete, answered.

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