Adopt Holly

European Shorthair · Female

... and then it goes into the left paw, then I tap it lightly, then it goes into the right paw. Then I tap it again and it goes to the left paw and then suddenly there's a foot here and it's getting in the way.... what the... what is this... AHHHHHHHHHHH damn, who are you?! En... excuse me, I, uh, I usually can't interact with people like this and I was just so absorbed... I'm Holly, and the name stands for "young and shy." So you should be patient with me, willing to work with me.

…. und dann kommt das in die linke Pfote, dann schlage ich leicht dagegen, dann kommt das in die rechte Pfote. Dann schlage ich wieder etwas dagegen und es kommt zur linken Pfote und dann steht plötzlich ein Fuß hier und stört…. was zum… was macht denn dieser…. AHHHHHHHHHHH verdammt, wer bist du denn?! Ent… entschuldige bitte, ich, äh, ich kann normalerweise mit Menschen nicht so und ich war gerade so vertieft… Ich bin Holly, und der Name steht für „jung und scheu“. Du solltest also geduldig mit mir sein, mit mir arbeiten wollen. Wobei ich bislang schon sehr viel Vertrauen aufbauen konnte – ab

About Holly

What life with Holly looks like

Holly is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Meine Katzenstation in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin.

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 Holly, answered.

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