How do I contact the shelter about Hekate?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hekate on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hekate if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen 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 Hekate 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 Hekate 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 Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hekate 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.

Hekate

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Our charming Hekate (born ca. 2023) is a neutered European Shorthair cat who wins hearts instantly with her loving and cuddly nature. She shows an exceptionally friendly demeanor towards humans and relishes every stroke. Especially fond of lofty heights, Hekate prefers the higher the better! Therefore, climbing opportunities and elevated resting spots should not be missing in her new home. From there, she attentively observes her surroundings and luxuriates in relaxation. While Hekate generally gets along with other cats, she does not actively seek their company. She tends to give fellow animals a wide berth and would likely be happiest as a single cat, where she can enjoy undivided attention from her humans. As Hekate is inquisitive and active, we can envision a home with a free roam in a quiet area after she has settled in. Alternatively, a cat-proofed balcony or garden would also be a lovely addition. If you are seeking a cuddly, uncomplicated, and yet characterful kitten who loves to be high up, you will find in Hekate a wonderful companion for life. If you would like to meet her, please click the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way, we will receive all relevant information beforehand for an initial conversation. This cat needs outdoor access.

Unsere bezaubernde Hekate (geb. ca. 2023) ist eine kastrierte Europäisch Kurzhaar-Kätzin, die mit ihrer lieben und verschmusten Art sofort die Herzen erobert. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich ausgesprochen freundlich und genießt jede Streicheleinheit in vollen Zügen. Besonders gerne hält sich Hekate in luftigen Höhen auf – je höher ihr Aussichtspunkt, desto besser! Klettermöglichkeiten und erhöhte Liegeplätze sollten in ihrem neuen Zuhause daher auf keinen Fall fehlen. Von dort aus beobachtet sie aufmerksam ihre Umgebung und entspannt sich nach Herzenslust. Mit anderen Katzen kommt Hekate grundsätzlich zurecht, sucht deren Gesellschaft aber nicht aktiv. Sie geht Artgenossen eher aus dem Weg und wäre deshalb als Einzelkatze vermutlich am glücklichsten, wo sie die ungeteilte Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen genießen kann. Da Hekate neugierig und aktiv ist, können wir uns für sie nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung ein Zuhause mit Freigang in verkehrsberuhigter Umgebung gut vorstellen. Alternativ wäre auch ein katzensicher gestalteter Balkon oder Garten ein schönes Plus. Wer eine verschmuste, unkomplizierte und zugleich charakterstarke Kätzin sucht, die gerne hoch hinaus möchte, findet in Hekate eine wundervolle Begleiterin fürs Leben. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Hekate

What life with Hekate looks like

Hekate is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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.
