Gracie & George

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 1 year

Gracie (approx. 1 year) and her son George (approx. 12-15 weeks) are looking for people with patience, empathy and a big heart. Gracie is a very loving and patient mother cat. She has taken care of her little George with great devotion and shows a lot of care for the other kittens in the room opposite. However, she is still very shy around people. She is now venturing out of her hiding place more often and has even eaten while a caregiver was in the room - small but important progress. Gracie simply needs time to gain trust. Therefore, her future humans should be aware that she is not an immediately affectionate cat. George is also still a bit anxious, but he is already making great progress. He lets himself be touched, likes to play with the other kittens and cuddles up to them to sleep. With the right support, he will surely develop into a happy and affectionate cat. For both, we wish for the possibility of secure or suitable outdoor access in a quiet and safe environment after a sufficient acclimatization period. It would be best if Gracie and George could move into their new home together. If this is not possible, Gracie can also be placed with a confident, social cat that she can orientate herself around. George should not live alone either and move in with a similarly aged, playful cat. Who gives these two special fur-footed friends the time and love they need to settle in? Please contact us:

Gracie (ca. 1 Jahr) und ihr Sohn George (ca. 12–15 Wochen) wünschen sich Menschen mit Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und einem großen Herzen. Gracie ist eine sehr liebe und geduldige Katzenmama. Sie hat sich rührend um ihren kleinen George gekümmert und zeigt auch den anderen Kitten im Zimmer gegenüber viel Fürsorge. Menschen gegenüber ist sie jedoch noch sehr scheu. Sie traut sich inzwischen immer häufiger aus ihrem Versteck und hat sogar schon gefressen, während eine Bezugsperson im Zimmer war – kleine, aber wichtige Fortschritte. Gracie braucht einfach Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Deshalb sollte ihren zukünftigen Menschen bewusst sein, dass sie keine sofort verschmuste Katze ist. George ist ebenfalls noch etwas ängstlich, macht aber schon große Fortschritte. Er lässt sich anfassen, spielt gerne mit den anderen Kitten und kuschelt sich zum Schlafen zu ihnen. Mit der richtigen Unterstützung wird er sich sicher zu einem fröhlichen und zutraulichen Kater entwickeln. Für beide wünschen wir uns nach einer ausreichenden Eingewöhnungszeit die Möglichkeit zu gesichertem bzw. geeignetem Freigang in einer ruhigen und sicheren Umgebung. Am schönsten wäre es, wenn Gracie und George gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen dürften. Sollte das nicht möglich sein, kann Gracie auch zu einer souveränen, sozialen Katze vermittelt werden, an der sie sich orientieren kann. George sollte ebenfalls nicht allein leben und zu einer etwa gleichaltrigen, verspielten Katze ziehen. Wer gibt diesen beiden besonderen Samtpfoten die Zeit und Liebe, die sie brauchen, um anzukommen? Meldet euch gerne unter:

About Gracie & George

What life with Gracie & George looks like

Gracie & George is a large young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Ehingen und Umgebung e.V. in Ehingen.

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 Gracie & George, answered.

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