Finchen

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Finchen is just a treasure! She seems too old to be seen as a "boring" gray tabby at the moment. She came to us with her kittens. They have already moved out for a while and she stayed behind... Finchen is still kitten-like in her behavior. She has a lot of energy and can play with toys for a long time. At the same time, she is also a huge cuddly cat and enjoys the attention! She had some trouble with the cat language in the cat house at first, but she plays great with the kittens! We can definitely imagine her moving out with one of the kittens, or with another well-socialized cat who can forgive her ignorance. However, she would also be happy as a single cat if she gets outdoor access and a lot of human attention. Then please send us an email with information and photos about the future care of the cat or leave a message on our answering machine. We would be happy to make an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible furnishing options. In a personal conversation, we will discuss you and the needs of the individual animal individually and find the best possible human-cat constellation with you.

Finchen ist einfach ein Schatz! Nur scheint sie als „langweiliger“ Grautiger aktuell zu alt zu sein, um gesehen zu werden. Sie kam mit ihren Kitten zu uns. Diese sind schon eine ganze Weile ausgezogen und sie bliebt zurück… Finchen ist vom Verhalten her aber auch noch kittenmäßig unterwegs. Sie hat super viel Energie und kann ewig lang mit Spielzeugen spielen. Gleichzeitig ist sie aber auch eine enorme Kuschelkatze und genießt die Aufmerksamkeit! Sie hat sich im Katzenhaus erst etwas schwer getan mit der Katzensprache, aber sie spielt total schön mit den Kitten! Wir können es uns für sie auf jeden Fall vorstellen, mit einem der Kitten zusammen auszuziehen, oder zu einer anderen gut sozialisierten Katze, der ihr ihre Unwissenheit noch verzeiht. Allerdings wäre sie auch zufrieden als Einzelkatze, wenn sie Freigang und viel Aufmerksamkeit des Menschen bekommen kann. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Finchen

What life with Finchen looks like

Finchen is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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. Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Minden 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 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 Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. 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.
