Jana

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

The tabby-white cat was brought to us as a stray. Shortly thereafter, she gave birth to sweet and healthy kittens. Now all the kittens have found homes; Jana has been spayed and is ready for her own forever home. This people-oriented and very cuddly cat is looking for a single-cat home where she can roam freely outdoors.

Die getigert-weiße Katze kam als Fund zu uns. Kurze Zeit später warf sie süße und gesunde Welpen. Nun sind alle Kinder ausgezogen, Jana kastriert und bereit für ihr eigenes Zuhause. Die menschenbezogene und sehr verschmuste Katze sucht einen Einzelplatz als Freigängerin.

About Jana

What life with Jana looks like

Jana is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

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 Jana, answered.

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