Ida

Mixed Breed · Unknown

From our three-leafed “I” clover, Ida has been the most hesitant so far (her brothers Igor & Ingo are braver). She needs the most patience and time to open up to people. She would also love a free run so she can decide in her own pace when she wants to surprise her food can with a bit of courage and confidence. She should be allowed to have her sleeping spots both inside and outside. I need a financial team that can collectively contribute 50 € per month for me!. This cat needs outdoor access.

Die Kleine ist „erwachsen geworden“ und macht ihren Auslauf unsicher 😉 In Sachen Zutraulichkeit braucht sie liebevolle und geduldige Nachhilfe. Toll würde in ihrem neuen Zuhause auch Freigang finden, damit sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo entscheiden kann, wann sie ihren Dosenöffner mit ein bisschen Mut und Anhänglichkeit überraschen möchte. Sie sollte drin und draußen ihre Schlafplätzchen haben dürfen. Meine finanzielle Teilpatin Mo.Gö. stemmt 20 € mtl. für mich – ich brauche noch 30 € mtl.!

About Ida

What life with Ida looks like

Ida is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Sadelkow - Gnadenhof Sonnenschein e.V. in Datzetal.

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 Ida, answered.

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