Ises

British Shorthair · Female

I'm Ises, a charming older female cat who needs a loving and cozy home with plenty of cuddles. I have feline asthma and require 2 daily inhalations, which only take a few seconds and are tolerated well by me. My caregivers greet me each morning with a loud "Mau" as I jump onto the secured balcony. If food isn't provided quickly enough, I might even use my claws to get it.

DE·Show original

Voraussetzung: Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon. Felines Asthma. Mau, ich bin Ises und meine Pfleger begrüße ich morgens mit einem lautstarken „Mau“. Wenn es dann nicht schnell genug Futter gibt, angel ich auch schon mal mit den Krallen danach . Eigentlich bin ich aber eine bezaubernde, ältere Katzendame, die sich nach einem liebevollen und gemütlichen Zuhause mit vielen Streicheleinheiten sehnt. Ich habe Felines Asthma und muss 2-mal täglich inhalieren, das dauert aber nur wenige Sekunden und wird von mir super geduldet. Hast du ein ruhiges Zuhause für meinen Lebensabend?

About Ises

What life with Ises looks like

Ises is a adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Ises, answered.

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