Karina

British Shorthair · Female

Karina wurde in einer Transportbox unweit des Tierheims ausgesetzt. Daher ist leider überhaupt nicht bekannt, wie alt sie ist oder ob sie bisher Freigang gewöhnt war oder eben nicht. Gesucht wird daher ein Zuhause in verkehrsberuhigter Umgebung oder mit gesichertem Garten, damit zumindest die Möglichkeit zum Freigang gegeben wäre.

About Karina

What life with Karina looks like

Karina is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Witten in Witten.

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 Karina, answered.

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