How do I contact the shelter about Ilvy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelenkatzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ilvy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ilvy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelenkatzen 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 Ilvy 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 Ilvy 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 Seelenkatzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ilvy 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.

Ilvy

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 10 months

I am a sweet and gentle female cat named Ilvy, born around November 2025 in Barlad, Romania. I was once a stray but was fed by a kind person named Flori. At first, I was very cautious, but over time I learned to trust people slowly. That's why I need someone who can be patient and understanding during the initial period. I also love other cats and enjoy playing and cuddling with them. If you don't already have a cat at home, I could bring a friend from here, maybe Enya. Just ask my caretaker to find out who would be a good match for me. I am already spayed, microchipped, vaccinated against feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, and rabies, and have received spot-on flea treatment and deworming before my departure. Additionally, I have been tested negative for FIV/FeLV using a rapid test. After a positive pre-check and contract, I can finally travel to you. I am so excited to hear from you! Your Ilvy

Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Barlad, Rumänien Alter: geb. ca. November 2025 Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Charakter: lieb, sanft, sozial (KEINE Einzelhaltung) Hallo lieber Katzenfreund, ich bin die kleine Katzendame Ilvy und suche ein schönes Zuhause. Die erste Zeit meines Lebens habe ich auf der Straße gelebt und wurde dort von einem lieben Menschen namens Flori gefüttert. Anfangs war ich sehr vorsichtig, doch mit der Zeit habe ich gelernt, Menschen langsam zu vertrauen. Deshalb suche ich jemanden, der Geduld und Verständnis für die erste Zeit aufbringen kann. Außerdem mag ich andere Katzen sehr gern. Ich spiele und kuschle mit ihnen. Wenn du also noch keine Katze bei dir wohnen hast, kann ich eine Freundin von hier mitbringen, vielleicht Enya. Frag am besten meine Vermittlerin, wer passen würde. Ich bin auch schon kastriert, gechipt und gegen Katzenseuche, Katzenschnupfen und Tollwut geimpft. Spot on und eine Wurmkur bekomme ich vor meiner Ausreise auch noch. Außerdem wurde ich per Schnelltest negativ auf FIV/FeLV getestet. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle und Schutzvertrag kann ich dann endlich zu dir reisen. Ich freue mich so sehr, von dir zu hören! Deine Ilvy

About Ilvy

What life with Ilvy looks like

Ilvy is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Seelenkatzen e.V. in Barsinghausen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
