Adopt Ginger

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

– small anxious hare Status: available Name: Ginger Breed: EKH Gender: female/neutered Color: splotched red Age: 1 year Gets along with: fellow animals The little Ginger came to us through a seizure by the veterinary office. She was highly pregnant and within a few days, her babies were born via cesarean section…. After the operation, anesthesia, and two quick moves, she was not able to care for her babies, so her sister took over, who had given birth to her babies naturally a day earlier. Ginger had to go through a lot in a short time, and this left its mark on her. She is still very anxious, but in no way aggressive. Ideal home: For Ginger, we are looking for understanding, cat-experienced people who can give her the time she needs. Suitable for apartment living would be good, perhaps even a secure balcony. A friendly fellow animal should be present.

– kleiner Angsthase Status: offen Name: Ginger Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Farbe: schildpatt rot Alter: 1 Jahr Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Die kleine Ginger kam durch eine Beschlagnahme des Veterinäramtes zu uns. Sie war hochtragend und nach wenigen Tagen wurden ihre Babys durch einen Kaiserschnitt geboren…. Nach der Operation, Narkose und zwei Umzügen in kurzer Zeit war sie nicht in der Lage, ihre Babys zu versorgen, so dass ihre Schwester das übernahm, die einen Tag früher ihre Babys auf natürlichem Weg bekommen hatte. Ginger musste in kurzer Zeit viel durchmachen, das ging nicht spurlos an ihr vorüber. Sie ist immer noch sehr ängstlich, aber in keinster Weise aggressiv. Wunschzuhause: Für Ginger suchen wir verständnisvolle, katzenerfahrene Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Wohnungshaltung wäre gut, vielleicht sogar ein gesicherter Balkon. Ein freundlicher Artgenosse sollte vorhanden sein. Noch besser für Ginger wäre aber die

About Ginger

What life with Ginger looks like

Ginger is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Ginger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ginger?
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 Ginger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ginger 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 Ginger 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 Ginger 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 Ginger 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.
