Adopt Finchen

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

animal rescuer: Vania Tzoneva born: approximately June 2023 Gender: female Location: Bulgaria spayed: yes FIV test: negative FeLV test: negative Disabilities: no Compatible with: Children: not known Cats: yes Dogs: not known Requirements: NONE Single housing only suitable for apartment living, NO outdoor access Balcony or terrace desired (if available, safety measures are required) Finchens start in life was anything but easy. As a tiny baby, she was heartlessly thrown into the garden of our animal rescuer - alone, helpless, and without any trace of her origin. But she had great luck in misfortune, because she landed exactly where she should have: Vania did not hesitate for a moment, took the small foundling in immediately. Finchen loves contact with other felines and feels comfortable and safe in their company. However, Finchen has always remained very cautious towards people. She is one of the more shy cats who prefer to observe everything from a safe distance first. While she is fully integrated among fellow animals, she maintains a respectful distance from us two-legged beings and has not yet found the courage to take the first step towards humans. For Finchen we wish a quiet home with patient people who give her all the time in the world and have no expectations of her. A confident fellow animal by her side is a must for Finchen as she strongly relies on other cats and they provide her with security. With much empathy and love, Finchen may arrive in her new home at her own pace - and who knows, perhaps curiosity will ultimately overcome her caution.

Tierschützerin: Vania Tzoneva geboren: ca. Juni 2023 Geschlecht: weiblich Aufenthaltsort: Bulgarien kastriert: ja FIV-Test: negativ FeLV-Test: negativ Handicaps: nein verträglich mit: Kindern: nicht bekannt Katzen: ja Hunden: nicht bekannt Voraussetzungen: KEINE Einzelhaltung nur Wohnungshaltung, KEIN Freigang Balkon oder Terrasse wünschenswert (sofern vorhanden, ist die Sicherung erforderlich) Finchens Start ins Leben war alles andere als leicht. Als winziges Baby wurde sie einfach herzlos in den Garten unserer Tierschützerin geworfen – allein, schutzlos und ohne jede Spur ihrer Herkunft. Doch sie hatte großes Glück im Unglück, denn sie landete genau an der richtigen Stelle: Vania zögerte keinen Moment, nahm das kleine Findelkind sofort bei sich auf. Finchen mag den Kontakt zu anderen Samtpfoten sehr und fühlt sie sich in deren Gesellschaft wohl und sicher. Menschen gegenüber ist Finchen jedoch zeitlebens sehr vorsichtig geblieben. Sie gehört zu den eher scheuen Katzen, die lieber erst einmal alles aus sicherer Entfernung beobachten. Während sie unter Artgenossen voll integriert ist, hält sie zu uns Zweibeinern weiterhin einen respektvollen Sicherheitsabstand und hat bisher noch nicht den Mut gefunden, von sich aus den ersten Schritt auf den Menschen zuzugehen. Für Finchen wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die ihr alle Zeit der Welt geben und keinerlei Erwartungen an sie stellen. Ein souveräner Artgenosse an ihrer Seite ist für Finchen ein Muss, da sie sich stark an anderen Katzen orientiert und diese ihr Sicherheit geben. Mit viel Einfühlungsvermögen und Liebe darf Finchen in ihrem neuen Zuhause in ihrem ganz eigenen Tempo ankommen – und wer weiß, vielleicht siegt die Neugier am Ende doch noch über die Vorsicht.

About Finchen

What life with Finchen looks like

Finchen is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Glücksnasen e.V. Tierschutzverein in Germany.

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 Finchen, answered.

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