Flavia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

A wild mother cat gave birth to Flavia and her four siblings in a residential area in a small town within the Neu-Ulmer city limits. They moved from garden to garden until the neighbors complained, and we had to relocate the cat family from the sidewalk in October 2016. The wild kittens climbed the smooth walls of the foster home, with no adoption prospects. But Flavia, her brother Rudolf, and her sister Frederike were successfully relocated to the pony farm. Flavia loves the hustle of riding lessons between horses and riders and has her sleeping quarters in the stable with the horses. But petting is only allowed by the pony farm riding instructor. For the shy Flavia, we are now seeking patrons who would like to financially support her monthly.

Eine wilde Mutterkatze hatte Flavia und ihre 4 Geschwister in einem Wohngebiet in einem kleinen Ort im Neu-Ulmer Stadtgebiet geboren. Sie zogen von Garten zu Garten bis die Anwohner sich beschwerten und wir die Katzenfamilie im Oktober 2016 vom Gehsteig wegholen mussten. Die wilden Jungkatzenkinder gingen in der Pflegestelle die glatten Wände hoch, keine Adoptionschancen. Aber Flavia, ihr Bruder Rudolf und ihrer Schwester Frederike wurden erfolgreich auf den Ponyhof umgesiedelt. Flavia liebt den Trubel der Reitstunden zwischen Pferden und Reitern und hat ihr Schlaflager im Stall bei den Pferden. Aber streicheln, das darf sie nur die Ponyhof Reitlehrerin. Für die scheue Flavia suchen wir nun Paten, die sie gerne monatlich finanziell etwas unterstützen möchten.

About Flavia

What life with Flavia looks like

Flavia is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ulm e.V. in Ulm.

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 Flavia, answered.

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