How do I contact the shelter about Filine?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Filine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Filine if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Filine 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 Filine 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Filine 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.

Filine

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Feline, a young female domestic shorthair, is looking for a forever home. She is one year old, tiger-striped and white, and is currently spayed. Filine was found with her litter of three kittens near a highway and was fortunately secured quickly. Now that her kittens have moved on, Filine can finally take care of herself. Born semi-wild, she has had little human interaction and is therefore very cautious - she may initially let out a loud hiss if someone gets too close before fleeing. However, Filine always sits in the middle of the room on a platform and doesn't hide! She curiously observes the happenings around her. This gives us hope that -with a little patience- Filine will become a nice lap cat. A nice existing cat or tomcat would help her learn quickly! We are looking for a cat-experienced, quiet home for Filine, preferably with later traffic-calmed outdoor access. Possibly with a family with children, but not too small and definitely patient and cat-experienced. Contact: Anja Kalisch

– junge Mutter auf Heimatsuche Status: offen Name: Filine Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Farbe: getigert weiß Alter: 1 Jahr Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Die erst etwa 1 Jahr alte Jungkatze Filine wurde zusammen mit ihrem Wurf von 3 Kitten neben der Autobahn entdeckt und konnte zum Glück recht schnell gesichert werden…. Da ihre 3 Kitten nun eigene Wege gehen dürfen, kann sich auch Filine endlich um sich selber kümmern. Halb verwildert geboren hat auch sie noch nicht viel Menschenkontakt gehabt und ist dementsprechend sehr vorsichtig – derzeit lässt sie eher mal einen großen Faucher los, wenn ihr jemand nach ihrem Ermessen zu nahe kommt, bevor sie dann lieber die Flucht ergreift. Nichtsdestotrotz sitzt Filine immer mitten im Raum auf einer Plattform und versteckt sich nicht! Lieber beobachtet sie neugierig das Geschehen. Das gibt uns gute Hoffnung, dass -mit ein wenig Geduld- Filine zu einer netten Schmusekatze mutieren wird. Dabei helfen würde ihr ein/e nette/r Bestandskatze oder -kater, denn sie lernt schnell! Wunschzuhause: Für Filine suchen wir ein katzenerfahrenes ruhiges Zuhause, gern mit späterem verkehrsberuhigtem Freigang. Gegebenenfalls bei einer Familie mit Kindern, jedoch nicht mehr zu klein und auf jeden Fall geduldig und katzenerfahren. Kontakt: Anja Kalisch,
