Gretchen (Hofkatze)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

female, neutered at the animal shelter since 24.04.2025 born around autumn 2024 Wer Safarifeeling at home would like to have, she is exactly right for Gretchen. With her beautiful eyes and her black fur, she shines like a proud lioness. She springs elegantly like a gazelle over our shelter grounds – of course, touching is not allowed. During feeding times, she is always reliable and shows herself to be very hungry.

weiblich, kastriert im Tierheim seit 24.04.2025 geboren ca. Herbst 2024 Wer Safarifeeling zu Hause haben möchte, der ist bei Gretchen genau richtig. Mit ihren wunderschönen Augen und ihrem schwarzen Fell strahlt sie wie eine stolze Löwin. Sie springt elegant wie eine Gazelle über unser Tierheimgelände – anfassen ist da natürlich nicht erlaubt. Zu den Futterzeiten ist sie immer zuverlässig da und zeigt sich als sehr verfressen.

About Gretchen (Hofkatze)

What life with Gretchen (Hofkatze) looks like

Gretchen (Hofkatze) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Speyer in Speyer.

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 Gretchen (Hofkatze), answered.

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