Adopt Isabella

Female · 10 years

Isabella is a friendly older cat senior who came to us as a foundling at the animal shelter. She had a mass on her back that was surgically removed. A biopsy showed that it was benign. Blood tests revealed that Isabella has hyperthyroidism and her kidney values are also a bit high. She now receives special food and takes medication twice daily to support her thyroid. For the magical Isabella, we are searching for a quiet new home with experienced cat friends who have the time. Isabella is snuggly, friendly, and clingy, but if she doesn't like something, she shows it very clearly. The apartment should have a secure balcony. Isabella has hyperthyroidism!

Isabella ist eine freundliche ältere Katzenseniorin, die als Findling zu uns ins Tierheim gekommen ist. Sie hatte eine Umfangsvermehrung auf dem Rücken die operativ entfernt wurde. Eine Biopsie ergab, dass diese gutartig war. Eine Blutuntersuchung hat ergeben, dass Isabella eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion hat und ihre Nierenwerte sind auch etwas zu hoch. Sie bekommt nun eine Spezialfutter und zweimal täglich ein Medikament zur Unterstützung der Schilddrüse. Für die zauberhafte Isabella suchen wir ein ruhiges neues Zuhause bei erfahrenen Katzenfreunden mit Zeit. Isabella ist schmusig, freundlich und anhänglich, aber wenn sie etwas nicht mag, zeigt sie dieses auch sehr deutlich. Die Wohnung sollte einen abgesicherten Balkon haben.

About Isabella

What life with Isabella looks like

Isabella is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

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.

Note from the shelter: Hyperthyroidism requiring daily medication and special diet. Kidney values elevated requiring monitoring. Previous benign tumor surgically removed.

🇩🇪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 Isabella, answered.

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