Hope (reserviert)

Female · Young · 2 years

We took Hope from a veterinary clinic because her owners couldn't or wouldn't pay for her care. She was brought there in an advanced state of pregnancy. When complications arose and a C-section became necessary, the animal was transferred directly on site. At the clinic she gave birth to five kittens, which we took in immediately. Hope herself had to remain at the clinic because she fell ill. When she finally came to us, she wasn't able to nurse her young due to medication. Fortunately, we had two additional mothers who took over Hope's children. Now Hope is healthy again and looking for a new home where she will never be abandoned again. She is a loving cat that desires kind people and a home in an apartment with a secure balcony. A nice, non-dominant tomcat would be welcome, as well as older children.

Wir haben Hope aus einer Tierklinik übernommen, weil ihre Besitzer die Kosten für sie nicht tragen wollten oder konnten. Sie wurde hochträchtig dorthin gebracht. Als es zu Komplikationen kam und ein Kaiserschnitt anstand, wurde das Tier direkt vor Ort übereignet. In der Klinik bekam sie fünf Kitten, die wir direkt übernahmen. Hope selbst musste noch dort bleiben, weil sie krank wurde. Als sie schließlich zu uns kam, durfte sie ihre Jungen nicht säugen, da sie Medikamente bekam. Glücklicherweise hatten wir gerade zwei weitere Mütter, die Hopes Kinder noch mitübernahmen. Jetzt ist Hope wieder richtig gesund und auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause, in dem man sie nie wieder im Stich lässt. Sie ist eine liebe Katze, die sich liebe Menschen und ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon wünscht. Ein netter, nicht dominanter Kater kann gerne vorhanden sein, ebenso wie größere Kinder.

About Hope (reserviert)

What life with Hope (reserviert) looks like

Hope (reserviert) is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 Hope (reserviert), answered.

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