Gioconda

Female · Adult · 9 years

The beautiful Gioconda stands out with her tortoiseshell coloring. She was born in 2017 and is a very social cat who gets along well with both cats and dogs. She lived in a controlled colony in Spain, but she is far too loving and social to remain on the streets. Therefore, our Spanish partner took in the beautiful female cat. Gioconda loves her cuddles and snuggles above all, really anything where she can spend time with her people. Gioconda has only one eye, and it is suspected that she may have lost the other in an accident. However, she manages wonderfully with this. She has a bit of trouble judging distances, so she should not go outside. Thus, she will be rehomed as an indoor cat with feline company. She would also be happy to bring one of her friends, such as Gala or Dionisio. Upon arrival, Gioconda will be vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, as well as spayed. Additionally, she will be tested for FIV and FeLV. Would you like to give the wonderful Gioconda a new home where she can be happy forever?

Man sagt, ich sei etwas ganz Besonderes – vielleicht liegt das an meinem wunderschönen Schildpattfell, vielleicht aber auch an meinem liebevollen Wesen. Geboren wurde ich etwa im Jahr 2017 in Spanien. Lange Zeit habe ich in einer betreuten Katzenkolonie gelebt, doch meine Tierschützer waren sich schnell einig: Für das Leben auf der Straße bin ich viel zu menschenbezogen und verschmust. Ich liebe es, Zeit mit meinen Menschen zu verbringen. Streicheleinheiten, Kuschelstunden und einfach dabei sein dürfen – das macht mich glücklich. Ich bin eine sehr soziale und gesellige Katzendame, die die Nähe von Menschen genießt und sich auch mit anderen Katzen bestens versteht. Sogar Hunde kenne ich bereits und komme gut mit ihnen zurecht. Vielleicht fällt dir auf den ersten Blick auf, dass ich nur ein Auge habe. Wie ich mein anderes Auge verloren habe, weiß niemand genau. Vermutlich ist es bei einem Unfall passiert. Aber keine Sorge: Ich komme damit wunderbar zurecht und lasse mich davon überhaupt nicht einschränken. Nur das Einschätzen von Entfernungen fällt mir manchmal etwas schwer. Deshalb wünsche ich mir ein sicheres Leben als Wohnungskatze, gerne mit einem freundlichen Katzenkumpel an meiner Seite. Falls du noch keine Katze hast, könnte ich sogar einen meiner Freunde mitbringen – zum Beispiel Gala oder Dionisio. Für mein neues Zuhause mache ich mich natürlich reisefertig: Bei meiner Ausreise bin ich geimpft, entwurmt, gechippt und kastriert. Außerdem werde ich auf FiV und FeLV getestet. Darf ich vielleicht bald bei dir einziehen?

About Gioconda

What life with Gioconda looks like

Gioconda is a adult cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. 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 Gioconda, answered.

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