Fina

Mixed Breed · Female

European Shorthair – EKH * 2016 – black – female – neutered Free-roaming, but indoor living with a secured balcony may also be possible Compatible with other cats Other: very shy, needs the company of other cats At the shelter since: 08/2026 Fina was found with large open wounds on her leg and face, secured with a trap, and taken to a clinic for treatment. It took quite a long time for Fina's wounds to heal completely, but thankfully everything now looks good again. Unfortunately, Fina is extremely shy and anxious, and so far she mostly hides in a cave and does not yet allow anyone to touch her. We don't know what the poor girl must have experienced outside or how she lived until now. She gets along very well with the other cats in her room and sometimes lies together with the equally shy Mimi or Nalani in one cave. We very much hope that Fina will eventually realize that no one wishes her any harm, and that she will then become more approachable and thus have a better chance of finding a home. Fina definitely needs a very calm home with cat-experienced people who have a lot of patience and empathy. There she should also have the company of a social and friendly fellow cat, who will give her security and make it easier for her to settle into an unfamiliar environment.

Europäisch Kurzhaar – EKH * 2016 – schwarz – weiblich – kastriert Freigänger, evtl. auch Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon möglich Verträglich mit Artgenossen Sonstiges: sehr scheu, braucht Gesellschaft von Artgenossen im Tierheim seit: 08/2026 Fina wurde mit großen offenen Wunden am Bein und im Gesicht gefunden, mit einer Falle gesichert und zur Behandlung in eine Klinik gebracht. Es hat nun recht lange gedauert, bis Fina's Wunden komplett abgeheilt waren, doch nun sieht alles zum Glück wieder gut aus. Leider ist Fina total scheu und ängstlich und sie verkriecht sich bisher fast nur in einer Höhle und lässt sich auch noch nicht anfassen. Wir wissen nicht, was die arme Maus draußen alles erlebt haben muss und wie sie bisher gelebt hat. Mit den anderen Katzen in ihrem Zimmer versteht sie sich sehr gut und liegt auch mal gemeinsam mit der ebenfalls scheuen Mimi oder Nalani gemeinsam in einer Höhle. Wir hoffen sehr, dass Fina irgendwann merkt, dass keiner etwas Böses von ihr möchte und dass sie dann auch zugänglicher wird und damit eher die Chance auf ein Zuhause bekommt. Fina baucht auf jeden Fall ein sehr ruhiges Zuhause bei katzenerfahrenen Menschen mit sehr viel Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen. Dort sollte sie auch Gesellschaft eines sozialen und freundlichen Artgenossen bekommen, welcher ihr Sicherheit gibt und die Eingewöhnung in fremder Umgebung erleichtert.

About Fina

What life with Fina looks like

Fina is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Göppingen in Göppingen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fina, answered.

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