Halina

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

- the sweet Halina Status: available Name: Halina Breed: EKH Gender: female/neutered Color: tricolor Age: 7 years Compatible with: fellow animals Halina lived for many years on a farm in a large group of cats. She came to us with significant wounds on her upper legs and tail…. After veterinary treatment, everything healed perfectly. However, it is possible that these were caused by allergic reactions to parasites, so we do not want to return her to the farm but rather find her a home where she can be closely monitored. Halina is the ideal second or third cat, super compatible and friendly. However, she reacts cautiously to strangers. She immediately goes to her primary caregiver's legs and purrs. She does not particularly like being picked up. Desired home: For the lovely Halina, we are looking for a quiet home with friendly fellow animals. Of course, it will take some patience until she is as approachable as she is in the foster home. A walk in a traffic-calmed area would be nice, but she would also be fine in a large apartment with a secure balcony. Contact: Fr. This cat needs outdoor access.

-die süße Halina Status: offen Name: Halina Rasse: EKH Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Farbe: tricolor Alter: 7 Jahre Verträglich mit: Artgenossen Halina hat viele Jahre auf einem Bauernhof in einer großen Katzengruppe gelebt. Sie kam jetzt mit großen Wunden an Oberschenkel und Schwanz zu uns….. Nach tierärzlicher Behandlung ist alles problemlos abgeheilt. Es ist aber möglich, dass es sich ursächlich um allergische Reaktionen gegen Parasiten handelt, so dass wir sie nicht auf den Bauernhof zurückschicken möchten, sondern ein Zuhause suchen, wo sie gut beobachtet werden kann. Halina ist die ideale Zweit- oder Drittkatze, superverträglich und freundlich. Bei Fremden reagiert sie allerdings zunächst zurückhaltend. Ihrer Bezugsperson geht sie aber sofort um die Beine und schmust. Nur auf den Arm mag sie nicht so gern. Wunschzuhause: Für die hübsche Halina suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause mit netten Artgenossen. Natürlich wird es etwas Geduld brauchen, bis sie so zugänglich wie jetzt auf der Pflegestelle ist. Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten Umgebung wäre schön, sie käme aber sicher auch mit einer großen Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon zurecht. Kontakt: Fr. Normann 02247/ 8460

About Halina

What life with Halina looks like

Halina is a large 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 Halina, answered.

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