How do I contact the shelter about JOSIE?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw JOSIE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt JOSIE if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. 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 JOSIE 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 JOSIE 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 Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know JOSIE 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.

JOSIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Josie and her four siblings ended up at the kill shelter without their mother when they were just a few weeks old. We immediately took the little ones to the Arche, where they’ve now settled in very well. All five of them are open to people and, age-appropriately, curious and playful. Nothing now stands in the way of finding their forever homes. At our facility, the siblings are currently getting to know canine companions of all sizes and ages, laying the foundation for extensive socialization. They’re also being accustomed—under the guidance of our volunteers—to walking on a leash and living indoors. We’re now looking for a home for Josie where she can receive loving yet consistent training. The young dog would happily join motivated first-time dog owners, provided that, at the outset, supervision by a competent dog trainer is ensured, so that no mistakes creep into her upbringing. An experienced first dog would certainly make Josie’s transition into her new life easier, but it’s not a requirement for a successful match.

Daraufhin haben wir die Kleinen sofort in die Arche gebracht, wo sie sich mittlerweile sehr gut eingelebt haben. Alle fünf sind dem Menschen gegenüber aufgeschlossen und altersentsprechend neugierig und verspielt. Der Suche nach den Für-immer-Menschen steht also nichts mehr im Weg. Bei uns lernen die Geschwister aktuell Artgenossen aller Größen und jeden Alters kennen, um den Grundstein einer umfangreichen Sozialisierung zu legen. Auch an das Laufen an der Leine und das Leben im Haus werden sie an der Seite unserer Volontäre zur Zeit gewöhnt. Für Josie suchen wir nun ein Zuhause, in dem sie eine liebevolle, aber ebenso konsequente Erziehung erfahren darf. Gerne darf die junge Hündin zu motivierten Hundeanfängern ziehen, sofern zu Beginn die Betreuung durch einen kompetenten Hundetrainer gewährleistet ist, damit sich keine Fehler in die Erziehung einschleichen können.

About JOSIE

What life with JOSIE looks like

JOSIE is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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.
