Kati

European Shorthair · Female

I’m Kati, a friendly, cuddly cat looking for a wonderful home. Here’s what I’m like: I was found as a stray, and I’m trusting, sweet, and lively. I love being kept busy and playing. If I ever feel overwhelmed or pressured, I’ll let you know that I don’t like it. That’s why I’d like people who take my body language seriously and give me the space I sometimes need. I’d love to have a home all to myself—as an only cat. Small children shouldn’t live in my new home. Would you like to get to know me? Please get in touch via the inquiry form below or by phone at Samtpfötchen-Haus 1 (daily from 1–4 p.m., except Saturdays).

Ich bin Kati eine freundliche, verschmuste Katze auf der Suche nach einem tollen Zuhause. Das bin ich: Ich wurde gefunden, bin zutraulich, lieb und lebhaft. Auslastung und spielen finde ich toll. Wenn ich mich bedrängt fühle, zeige ich, dass ich das nicht möchte. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die meine Körpersprache ernst nehmen und mir den Freiraum geben, den ich manchmal brauche. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht in meinem neuen Zuhause leben. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Melde dich gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Samtpfötchen-Haus 1 unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Kati

What life with Kati looks like

Kati is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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 Kati, answered.

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