Jenna

European Shorthair · Female

Jenna - a shy tabby is looking for her very special place Jenna is a tabby European Shorthair (EKH) and a relatively young female cat. Her exact age is unfortunately unknown. She is spayed and has previously lived as an outdoor cat. Still in her early stages, Jenna is a special little personality because she has had little human contact so far. As a result, she is very reserved around people and needs time to build trust. Therefore, we are looking for people who do not expect her to become a cuddly cat overnight, but rather approach her with a lot of calmness, patience, and understanding. It may take weeks or even longer for her to take the first step - and you should be able to give her that time. Jenna likes cats Jenna is compatible with other cats. A social companion cat could therefore give her security and help her find her way in her new home. Children should not live in Jenna's new home, as she needs a quiet and stress-free environment due to her uncertainty. Scheunenplatz or patient home wanted We can imagine different paths for Jenna: a suitable, safe barn place with cat-experienced people could be a good fit for her. Equally, a home with very patient and understanding people who give her the necessary time and do not have expectations about her development would be a possibility. The most important thing is: Jenna needs people who accept her cautious nature and give her the chance to gain trust at her own pace. Whoever gives her this time may eventually receive the most beautiful gift: the trust of a cat that has learned that people can also mean safety and security.

&; Jenna – eine scheue Samtpfote sucht ihren ganz besonderen Platz &;&; Jenna ist eine getigerte Europäisch Kurzhaar (EKH) und eine noch eher junge Katzendame. Ihr genaues Alter ist leider unbekannt. Sie ist kastriert und hat bisher als Freigängerin gelebt. &; Noch ganz am Anfang Jenna ist eine besondere kleine Persönlichkeit, denn Menschenkontakt kennt sie bisher praktisch gar nicht . Entsprechend zeigt sie sich Menschen gegenüber noch sehr zurückhaltend und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Für Jenna suchen wir deshalb Menschen, die nicht erwarten, dass sie von heute auf morgen eine Schmusekatze wird , sondern ihr mit viel Ruhe, Geduld und Verständnis begegnen. Vielleicht braucht es Wochen oder sogar länger, bis sie den ersten Schritt macht – und genau diese Zeit sollte man ihr schenken können. &;&; &; Katzen findet Jenna gut Mit anderen Katzen ist Jenna verträglich . Ein vorhandener, sozialer Artgenosse könnte ihr daher durchaus Sicherheit geben und ihr helfen, sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause zurechtzufinden. Kinder sollten in Jennas neuem Zuhause nicht leben , da sie durch ihre Unsicherheit einen ruhigen und möglichst stressarmen Rahmen benötigt. &; Scheunenplatz oder geduldiges Zuhause gesucht Für Jenna können wir uns verschiedene Wege vorstellen: Ein geeigneter, sicherer Scheunenplatz bei katzenerfahrenen Menschen könnte für sie passend sein. Ebenso wäre ein Zuhause bei sehr geduldigen und verständnisvollen Menschen , die ihr die nötige Zeit lassen und keine Erwartungen an ihre Entwicklung stellen, eine Möglichkeit. Wichtig ist vor allem: Jenna braucht Menschen, die ihre vorsichtige Art akzeptieren und ihr die Chance geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo Vertrauen zu fassen. Wer ihr diese Zeit schenkt, bekommt vielleicht irgendwann das schönste Geschenk zurück: das Vertrauen einer Katze, die gelernt hat, dass Menschen auch Sicherheit und Geborgenheit bedeuten können. &;&;&; Bei ernsthaftem Interes

About Jenna

What life with Jenna looks like

Jenna is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 Jenna, answered.

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