Jelena

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Jelena is a gentle and affectionate cat - read more below. Jelena, a cat, was delivered pregnant at the shelter. On July 10th, she gave birth to 5 kittens (Josy, Joker, Jule, Joey + Jimmy), who are now slowly ready to move out. She will be spayed soon and then nothing will stand in the way of her moving out. With Jelena, you get an extremely loving and cuddly cat that is just as suitable for families with understanding children as for quieter cat friends, because you get a people-oriented and affectionate cat that wants to go outside again after getting used to it.

zutraulich und lieb - weiter unten lesen Sie mehr Über Jelena Katzendame Jelena wurde trächtig im Tierheim abgegeben. Am 10. Juli hat sie dann 5 Kitten zur Welt gebracht (Josy, Joker, Jule, Joey + Jimmy), die nun langsam soweit sind auszuziehen. Sie wird demnächst kastriert und dann steht auch ihrem Auszug nichts im Wege. Mit Jelena bekommt man eine überaus liebe und anschmiegsame Samtpfote, die für Familien mit verständigen Kindern genauso geeignet ist, wie für ruhigere Katzenfreunde, denn man bekommt eine menschbezogene und verschmuste Samtpfote, die nach der Eingewöhnung auch wieder in den Freigang möchte.

About Jelena

What life with Jelena looks like

Jelena is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Jelena, answered.

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