Adopt Helena - EKH

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Helena is PROBEWOHNEN * Born: ca. 09/2025, at the animal shelter since: 10/31/2025, female, neutered. Helena came to us with her mother, father, and siblings as a found animal. After treatment for endo- and ectoparasites and a quarantine period, she was allowed to move into the adoption area. Her father Hektor and her brother Hermann have already found new homes. Helena is a small, delicate cat with great curiosity. At first, she is still a bit afraid of new people and loud situations. Her courage often helps her overcome this fear. When playing with toys, she shows a lot of joy. Several examinations are still pending for Helena, which are only possible when she is a bit bigger. The little tortoiseshell has problems with her knees, which changes her gait. We wish for Helena a home with a later secure outdoor access. She can live together with new or already known feline friends. Children are no problem if they understand that Helena needs time to get close.

* Helena ist PROBEWOHNEN * Geboren: ca. 09/2025 im Tierheim seit: 31.10.2025 weiblich , kastriert Helena kam zusammen mit ihrer Mutter, ihrem Vater und ihren Geschwistern als Fundtier zu uns. Nach der Behandlung gegen Endo- und Ektoparasiten sowie einer Quarantänezeit durfte sie in den Vermittlungsbereich umziehen. Vater Hektor und ihr Bruder Hermann haben bereits ein neues Zuhause gefunden. Helena ist eine kleine, zierliche Katze mit großer Neugier. Anfangs hat sie noch etwas Angst vor neuen Menschen und lauten Situationen. Ihr Mut hilft ihr aber oft, diese Angst zu überwinden. Beim Spielen mit Spielzeug zeigt sie viel Freude. Bei Helena stehen noch einige Untersuchungen aus, die erst möglich sind, wenn sie etwas größer ist. Die kleine Schildpatt-Dame hat Probleme mit ihren Knien, was ihr Gangbild verändert. Für Helena wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit späterem sichereen Freigang. Sie kann gerne mit neuen oder bereits bekannten Katzenfreunden zusammenleben. Kinder sind kein Problem, wenn diese bereits verstehen, dass Helena Zeit braucht, um Nähe zuzulassen.

About Helena - EKH

What life with Helena - EKH looks like

Helena - EKH is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Dingolfing-Landau e.V. / Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn in Dingolfing.

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 Helena - EKH, answered.

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