itty

Female · Adult · 6 years

Kitty came to us six years ago as a found kitten when she was still a baby. Quickly, she found a nice new home where she has lived happily until now. Now that her owner has passed away, she unfortunately had to return to us. Our Kitty is an initially shy female cat who, once she has gained trust, becomes a true cuddle bug. After an adjustment period here with us, she is now a friendly and cuddly cat lady who also actively seeks contact with people. Kitty is FIV-positive and should therefore live as an individual princess or be rehomed with other FIV-positive cats.

Kitty kam vor sechs Jahren als Fundkatze zu uns als sie noch ein Baby war. Schnell fand sie ein schönes neues Zuhause in dem sie bis jetzt glücklich gelebt hat. Nun ist ihre Besitzerin verstorben und sie ist leider zu uns zurückgekehrt. Unsere Kitty ist eine anfangs etwas schüchterne Katzendame die aber, sobald sie Vertrauen gefasst hat, zu einer wahren Schmusebacke wird. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit hier bei uns ist sie nun den ihr bekannter Menschen gegenüber eine freundliche und verschmuste Katzenlady die auch aktiv den Kontakt zu Menschen sucht. Kitty ist FIV-positiv und sollte deshalb weiter als Einzelprinzessin leben oder zu anderen FIV-positiven Katzen vermittelt werden.

About itty

What life with itty looks like

itty is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Krefeld in Krefeld.

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 itty, answered.

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