Katzenkinder

European Shorthair · Female

Hallo, wir sind Bianca, Timmi, Grazia und Ari! Wir sind ein Mädchen und drei Jungs, etwa 5 Monate jung, niedlich getigert mit weißen Pfötchen und auf der Suche nach Menschen, die uns eine Chance geben. Wir kommen von einer privaten Futterstelle und wurden wild geboren. Menschen machen uns immer noch Angst, sodass wir noch schnell vor ihnen flüchten. Aber wissen Sie was? Ganz so uninteressant finden wir die dann auch wieder nicht! Wenn wir uns sicher fühlen, beobachten wir neugierig ganz genau, was sie tun. Wir wünschen uns ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder und Hunde, bei Menschen, die uns Zeit lassen und nicht sofort Schmusekatzen aus uns machen wollen. Mit viel Geduld, Ruhe und Liebe können wir bestimmt lernen, Vertrauen zu fassen. Eine bereits vorhandene, zutrauliche Katze in ähnlichem Alter könnte uns dabei sehr helfen. Und später möchten wir wieder Freigang haben. Manchmal haben wir Angst, für immer im Tierheim bleiben zu müssen, nur weil wir noch keine Schmusekatzen sind. Dabei sind wir doch noch so jung und verdienen eine Chance auf ein glückliches Katzenleben! Danke sagen vier von vielen, kleinen Kätzchen, die hoffen, dass sich jemand in sie verliebt – auch ohne Kuschelgarantie.

About Katzenkinder

What life with Katzenkinder looks like

Katzenkinder is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Katzenkinder, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Katzenkinder?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Katzenkinder on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Katzenkinder if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Katzenkinder 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 Katzenkinder 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 Uhlenkrog Kiel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Katzenkinder 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.
