Kashiwa

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Kashiwa is a real character cat with her own unique charm. She always looks forward to visitors and greets her people often with a friendly purr. It’s clear that she enjoys making contact and values the company of humans. Kashiwa finds cuddles at first great and enjoys the attention. If it becomes too much for her, she shows her boundaries gently but clearly. Kashiwa knows exactly what she wants—and what she doesn’t. Often, it’s enough for her if someone just sits with her and keeps her company. With other cats, however, Kashiwa can barely stand them. She doesn’t want to share her people and therefore wishes for a home as a solo princess. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Kashiwa ist eine echte Charakterkatze mit ganz eigenem Charme. Sie freut sich immer über Besuch und begrüßt ihre Menschen oft schon mit einem freundlichen Miauen. Man merkt schnell, dass sie gerne Kontakt hat und die Gesellschaft von Menschen schätzt. Streicheleinheiten findet sie anfangs toll und genießt die Aufmerksamkeit. Wird es ihr jedoch zu viel, zeigt sie ihre Grenzen sanft, aber deutlich. Kashiwa weiß genau, was sie möchte – und was nicht. Oft reicht es ihr schon, wenn jemand einfach bei ihr sitzt und ihr Gesellschaft leistet. Mit anderen Katzen kann Kashiwa hingegen wenig anfangen. Sie möchte ihre Menschen nicht teilen und wünscht sich daher ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin. Für Kashiwa suchen wir ein Zuhause mit Freigang, in dem sie ihren eigenen Kopf haben darf und Menschen findet, die ihren Charakter zu schätzen wissen

About Kashiwa

What life with Kashiwa looks like

Kashiwa is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kreistierheim Böblingen 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 Kashiwa, answered.

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