How do I contact the shelter about Kate?

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

Can I adopt Kate if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen 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 Kate 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 Kate 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 Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kate 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.

Kate

European Shorthair · Female

Kate was allowed to leave the mess house with other cats and shows every day anew how much love and joy she still has in her despite her past. The pretty kitten is incredibly people-oriented and immediately seeks the closeness of her trusted people. Cuddles can never get enough – Kate is a real snuggly cat with a big heart. Additionally, she is open, curious, and always eager to be right in the middle of the action. Especially enthusiastic about meals, the friendly velvet paw is always on hand. For Kate, we wish for a loving home in a suitable apartment where she continues to receive the attention and affection she enjoys. Since she is familiar with living with other cats, she will only be rehomed as a second cat or together with a compatible velvet paw. If you are looking for an attached, charming, and lively roommate, you will surely find a wonderful companion in Kate. If you would like to meet her, please click the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way, we can get all the relevant information in advance for our first conversation. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

DE·Show original

Kate durfte gemeinsam mit anderen Katzen einen Messiehaushalt verlassen und zeigt trotz ihrer Vergangenheit jeden Tag aufs Neue, wie viel Liebe und Lebensfreude in ihr steckt. Die hübsche Kätzin ist unglaublich menschenbezogen und sucht sofort die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen. Streicheleinheiten kann sie kaum genug bekommen – Kate ist eine echte Schmusekatze mit großem Herz. Außerdem ist sie offen, neugierig und immer gerne mitten im Geschehen dabei. Besonders begeistert ist Kate, wenn es ums Essen geht – da ist die freundliche Samtpfote sofort zur Stelle. Für Kate wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause in reiner Wohnungshaltung, in dem sie weiterhin die Aufmerksamkeit und Zuneigung bekommt, die sie so genießt. Da sie das Zusammenleben mit anderen Katzen kennt, wird sie ausschließlich als Zweitkatze oder gemeinsam mit einer passenden Samtpfote vermittelt. Wer eine anhängliche, charmante und lebensfrohe Mitbewohnerin sucht, wird in Kate ganz sicher eine wunderbare Gefährtin finden. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Kate

What life with Kate looks like

Kate is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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.
