Adopt Katy

Female · Adult · 8 years

Katy was born around 2016 and 2017 and has been in a foster home in Bad Camberg (Hesse) for several months. Originally, this lady in her prime age comes from Spain. There, she was part of the colony at El Refugio, which has been managed by our Spanish partners on-site since its founding in 2018. Katy is a beautiful but reserved female cat, estimated to be around 8 to 9 years old. At the foster home, she initially hid, but gradually became more open and trusting. With a lot of patience and calm, Katy, who is also called Kinga at the foster home, is now very clingy, especially at night, and loves to cuddle with her foster mom. Katy decides herself when she wants affection from her human and shows it. In her future happy home, she should also be met with a lot of patience and calm to not destroy the trust that has been built. Currently, she lives with her former friend Sally, with whom she has been since the beginning in the colony in Spain and got along very well. Unfortunately, at the foster home, the two female cats do not get along as well and do not interact. Katy would likely benefit from a relaxed and confident cat in her new home, as well as patient people who meet her with understanding and lots of love. At her foster home, Katy has free access to the outdoors, which has greatly strengthened her trust. Since then, she has become more trusting and open, so we also wish for her the possibility to go outside in her future home. Katy is already vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. Additionally, she tested negative for FiV and FeLV. Who will give this beautiful female cat a respectful home?

Katy wurde ca. zwischen 2016 und 2017 geboren und befindet sich seit einigen Monaten auf einer Pflegestelle in Bad Camberg (Hessen). Ursprünglich kommt die Lady im besten Alter aus Spanien. Dort befand sie sich seit der Gründung 2018 in der Kolonie in El Refugio, die von unseren spanischen Partnern vor Ort betreut wird. Katy ist eine wunderschöne, aber zurückhaltende Katzendame, die auf etwas 8 und 9 Jahre geschätzt wird. Auf der Pflegestelle hat sie sich anfangs nur versteckt, aber nach und nach wurde sie offener und zutraulicher. Mit viel Geduld und Ruhe ist Katy, die auf der Pflegestelle auch Kinga genannt wird, mittlerweile v.a. nachts sehr anhänglich und findet es super, mit ihrer Pflegemama zu kuscheln. Katy entscheidet selbst, ob sie Zuneigung von ihrem Menschen möchte, und zeigt das dann auch. Auch in ihrem zukünftigen HappyHome sollte man ihr mit viel Geduld und Ruhe entgegenkommen, um das aufgebaute Vertrauen nicht wieder zu zerstören. Aktuell lebt sie mit ihrer früheren Freundin Sally zusammen, mit der sie seit Beginn in der Kolonie in Spanien war und mit der sie sich dort sehr gut verstanden hat. Auf der Pflegestelle verstehen sich die beiden Katzendamen leider nicht mehr so gut und interagieren nicht miteinander. Katy würde im neuen Zuhause wahrscheinlich eine entspannte und souveräne Katze helfen sowie geduldige Menschen, die ihr mit Verständnis und ganz viele Liebe begegnen. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle hat Katy Freigang, was ihr Vertrauen sehr gestärkt hat. Seitdem ist sie zutraulicher und offener geworden, daher wünschen wir uns auch in ihrem zukünftigen Zuhause für sie die Möglichkeit nach draußen zu gehen. Katy ist bereits geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und kastriert. Außerdem wurde sie negativ auf FiV und FeLV getestet. Wer schenkt der wunderschönen Katzendame ein respektvolles Zuhause?

About Katy

What life with Katy looks like

Katy is a adult cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. 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 Katy, answered.

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