Illy

Female · Young · 1 year

Die freundliche und unkomplizierte Illy genießt jede Streicheleinheit und liebt es, Zeit mit ihren Menschen zu verbringen. Sie kommt sowohl als Einzelkatze (bei ausreichender Aufmerksamkeit) als auch wunderbar mit einer Zweitkatze aus. Da sie zu chronischen Blasenproblemen neigt, ist sie dauerhaft auf spezielles Futter angewiesen – eine medizinische Notwendigkeit, die bei der Haltung unbedingt konsequent beachtet werden muss.

About Illy

What life with Illy looks like

Illy is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Stadthagen in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Illy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Illy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stadthagen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Illy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Illy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stadthagen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Illy 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 Illy 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 Stadthagen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Illy 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.
