Adopt Falballa

Female · Young · 2 years

For a larger view, click on the image. Falballa was an urgent case. We had to pick her up because the woman could not drive herself and needed to go to the hospital. She also severely chased the second cat in the household and was not compatible. On site, she went into the box by herself, but here at the animal shelter, she is very, very grumpy. We believe she knows what she wants and intends to make it happen. Currently, she is in quarantine and very dissatisfied with the overall situation. Let's see how she develops further. According to the previous owner, she was from a litter of a friend. She took her as a kitten and she was with her the whole time. Since there is currently no vaccination record, further checks are being conducted. Once she has been checked by our veterinarian, she can be rehomed. Preferably with outdoor access and preferably as a single cat.

Für eine größere Ansicht klicken Sie auf das Bild Falballa war ein dringender Abgabefall. Sie musste durch uns abgeholt werden, weil die Frau selber nicht fahren konnte und ins Krankenhaus musste. Sie hat auch die zweite Katze im Haushalt extrem gejagt und war nicht verträglich. Vor Ort ging sie selber in die Box, aber hier im Tierheim ist sie sehr sehr grummlig. Wir glauben, sie weiß, was sie will und möchte dies auch durchsetzen. Aktuell ist sie in der Quarantäne und mit der Gesamtsituation sehr unzufrieden. Mal schauen, wie sie sich weiter entwickelt. Laut Aussage der Vorbesitzerin war sie von einem Wurf von einer Freundin. Sie habe sie als Kitten übernommen und sie war die ganze Zeit bei ihr. Da derzeit noch kein Impfausweis vorliegt, laufen die weiteren Abklärungen. Sobald sie durch unsere Tierärztin überprüft wurde, kann sie vermittelt werden. Gerne mit Freigang und gerne als Einzelkatze.

About Falballa

What life with Falballa looks like

Falballa is a young adult cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Weil am Rhein e.V. in Weil am Rhein.

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 Falballa, answered.

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