Katie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Katie Die kleine Katie (*ca. Oktober 2024) ist eine neugierige Katze und hat sich nach nur wenigen Tagen in ihrer Pflegestelle eingelebt. Oben auf ihrem Kratzbaum behält sie den Überblick der Lage und beobachtet liebend gern Vögel aus dem Fenster. Sie sucht die Nähe zum Menschen, mag gerne gestreichelt und gekrault werden, oder mit im Bett schlafen, und wenn es ihr zu viel wird, zieht sie sich zurück. Alterstypisch ist sie sehr verspielt und agil, und rennt allem hinterher was sich bewegt oder raschelt. Sie ist eine intelligente Katze, deren Potenzial man sicherlich mit Training, wie z. B. Clickern, fördern kann. Neuen Situationen und Menschen gegenüber ist Katie sehr neugierig und aufgeschlossen. Vernünftige Kindern ab 9 Jahre sind ok. Ein ungefähr gleichaltriger lieber Tobekumpel sollte auch im neuen Zuhause leben. Über einen abgesicherten Balkon freut sich die kleine Schildpatt-Schönheit. Katie ist kastriert, gechipt, entwurmt und geimpft.

About Katie

What life with Katie looks like

Katie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at KIS Ruhr – Katzen in Schwierigkeiten in Bochum.

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 Katie, answered.

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