Adopt Izzy

Female · Adult · 5 years

Izzy was found after an accident. She had broken her femur in two places and had to undergo surgery. Izzy was microchipped and already neutered when found, but the chip was not registered, and no one reported her missing. Izzy has recovered well from the operations and can now use her leg normally. At the animal shelter, Izzy is extremely temperamental and will immediately use her claws if something doesn’t suit her. Even the mere presence of a person can trigger this. However, Izzy can also be very cuddly and enjoys snuggling, but one should always consider her mood. Izzy is looking for a child-free home with people who already have experience caring for cats. She wants to be let out again in her new home. This cat needs outdoor access.

Izzy wurde nach einem Unfall aufgefunden. Sie hatte sich den Oberschenkelknochen zweifach gebrochen und musste operiert werden. Izzy war gechippt und auch bereits kastriert als sie aufgefunden wurde, aber der Chip war nicht registriert und es meldete sie auch niemand vermisst. Izzy hat die Operationen gut überstanden und sie kann ihr Bein mittlerweile auch wieder normal benutzen. Im Tierheim zeigt sich Izzy extrem launisch und wenn ihr etwas gegen den Strich geht setzt sie sofort ihre Krallen ein. Dafür kann auch schon mal die bloße Anwesenheit eines Menschen reichen. Aber Izzy kann auch sehr verschmust sein und sie kuschelt gern, doch man sollte dabei immer ihre Laune beachten. Izzy sucht einen kinderlosen Haushalt mit Menschen die bereits Erfahrung im Umgang mit Katzen haben. Sie möchte in ihrem neuen zu Hause wieder Freigang bekommen.

About Izzy

What life with Izzy looks like

Izzy is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

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 Izzy, answered.

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