Katzenbabies

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Kitten · 5 months

At the animal shelter, cat kittens have been arriving almost daily since the end of June! The photos show some of our protégés, who represent many here. Not all of them are still at the shelter. They may already have been adopted. They range from 8 weeks to 5 months. Some are friendly, others are still a bit shy and a few are very timid! They haven't all had the best start in life and would finally like to arrive somewhere! Some still need to be pampered or recover from an infection. They are either given to another existing young cat or adopted as a pair. Only if a cat is already a few months old and would later (after castration) get outdoor access, we also give it away individually.

Im Tierheim treffen seit Ende Juni eigentlich täglich Katzenbabies ein! Auf den Fotos sehen sie einige unserer Schützlinge, die stellvertretend für viele hier abgebildet sind. Nicht alle, die sie hier auf dem Foto sehen, sind noch im Tierheim. Sie können bereits auch vermittelt sein. Von 8 Wochen bis 5 Monate ist alles dabei. Einige sind zutraulich, andere noch etwas schüchtern und ein paar auch sehr scheu! Sie hatten nicht alle den besten Start ins Leben und möchten endlich irgendwo ankommen! Manche müssen noch gepäppelt werden oder einen Infekt auskurieren. Sie werden entweder zu einer weiteren vorhandenen jungen Katzen abgegeben oder zu zweit vermittelt. Nur wenn eine Katze schon ein paar Monat alt ist und später (nach Kastration) Freigang bekommen würde, geben wir sie auch einzeln ab.

About Katzenbabies

What life with Katzenbabies looks like

Katzenbabies is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Katzenbabies, answered.

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