Kaida

Female · Adult · 4 years

Kaida is an exceptionally beautiful and gentle female cat who longs for a quiet home with a social companion to cuddle with. Unfortunately, Kaida suffers from HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and relies on regular medication. As administering the medication is not always easy, we are looking for people with cat experience who are willing to care for her lovingly and patiently. Regular heart checks are also important to ensure her condition is well monitored. Kaida lost her home because her owner fell seriously ill and can no longer care for her. Now we hope she will find people who can give her the security she so deserves. For Kaida, we would like a home in a flat, preferably with a secure balcony or terrace, as she knows and enjoys sniffing fresh air and observing her surroundings.

Kaida ist eine außergewöhnlich hübsche und sanfte Katzendame. Leider leidet Kaida an HCM (Hypertrophe Kardiomyopathie) und ist auf eine regelmäßige Medikamentengabe angewiesen. Da ihr die Eingabe der Medikamente nicht immer leicht fällt, suchen wir für sie Menschen mit Katzenerfahrung, die bereit sind, sich liebevoll und geduldig um sie zu kümmern. Außerdem sind regelmäßige Kontrollen ihres Herzens wichtig, damit ihre Erkrankung gut überwacht werden kann. Kaida verlor ihr Zuhause, weil ihr Besitzer schwer erkrankt ist und sich nicht länger um sie kümmern kann. Nun hoffen wir, dass sie noch einmal Menschen findet, die ihr die Geborgenheit schenken, die sie so sehr verdient. Für Kaida wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, gerne mit einem gesicherten Balkon oder einer sicheren Terrasse, denn sie kennt und genießt es, frische Luft zu schnuppern und die Umgebung zu beobachten.

About Kaida

What life with Kaida looks like

Kaida is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Kaida, answered.

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